Authentic Hercegovina prototype
Revitalizing revitalization
Background
Initiated at the Infiniti Heritage Seminar 2-14 on October 18 2014 in Mostar, the Authentic Hercegovina project will continue and complement the Mostar 2004 post-war architectural reconstruction and revitalization project, by revitalizing the region's economy and culture. At the same time, this project will be a laboratory for developing and testing a specific transdisciplinary approach to tourism, and to cultural revitalization and preservation. By developing a pattern language, we make our results applicable to other global regions with similar challenges. The resulting Authentic Hercegovina travel destination and online community will combine a specific approach to events and tourism called authentic travel, with creative infrastructure design, and transdisciplinary co-creation.
Design patterns
On the more human side, this project will engage some of the proactive emigrants from the region and their international friends and colleagues, to reinvigorate the spirit of collaboration and opportunity.
From the point of view of systemic innovation, the Authentic Hercegovina project implements and showcases this simple and elegant idea: Information technology can now enable a different, authentic approach to tourism and travel; an approach that supports authentic, local economies and cultures, promotes authentic meeting of people and cultures and exchange of vital memes. We are using the technology that led to globalization — to reverse the negative consequences of globalization. For more information see the articles and the business plan below.
Amela Božić and Sladjan Jakirović are local coordinators of the project. Infiniti Heritage is the project’s institutional home.
Holotopia and the revival of authenticity
We (Knowledge Federation) are presently focused on the Holotopia prototype, where a "new thinking" approach to contemporary issues is being developed; and where a variant of this prototype, as an exemplary re-design of tourism, will be featured. A long story made short, Guy Debord's 1967 text "Society of the Spectacle" has recently received a renewed interest, and for an interesting reason: It is now becoming recognized just how much Debord was right—in pointing out how much the loss of authenticity is at the core of now widely known global issues. See this article in The Guardian, where we also find the following:
How we confront the spectacle is a subject for another piece: in essence, the Situationists' contention was that its colonisation of life was not quite complete, and resistance has to begin with finding islands of the authentic, and building on them
