Direction of Tactile Klironomy

Definition ↓

Tactile Klironomy is a scientific direction of Klironomy of tangible cultural heritage of society.

Place in the system of the Klironomical Sciences ↓

Tactile Klironomy, or klironomy of tangible cultural heritage, is one of three areas of science of cultural heritage preservation.

Relevance ↓

Tangible cultural heritage preservation is extremely important. It is based on the fundamental development goals of any society. Society cannot develop from nothing and form new cultural values in isolation from the past. The past, materialized into objects, is able to preserve valuable information that is necessary for the formation of the correct worldview of the individual.

The object of research in the scientific direction ↓

Tangible cultural heritage.

The subject of research in the scientific direction ↓

The processes of the preservation of objects recognized by the cultural heritage of society.

The purpose of the scientific direction ↓

The preservation of cultural heritage objects.

The tasks of the scientific direction ↓

1. Describe the condition of the objects of tangible cultural heritage and determine the scope of recovery work.
2. Analyse the state of objects of culture and art to include them in the list of tangible cultural heritage and to categorize them.
3. Develop methods of preservation, recovery, and reconstruction of tangible cultural heritage objects.
4. Form a scientific base, conduct scientific and educational activities and prevention of preservation of tangible cultural heritage in society.

Functions of the scientific direction ↓

1. Preservation of all types of tangible cultural heritage of society.
2. Recovery of damaged or partially lost parts of tangible cultural heritage objects.
3. Reconstruction of lost objects of cultural heritage.

The main theoretical methods of research ↓

1. Axiological method allows to determine the value of tangible culture objects and classify them as part of the cultural heritage of society.
2. The analytical method makes possibility to analyze the main stages of creation and existence of tangible cultural heritage object to purpose a competent approach to their preservation or recovery.
3. Synthesis allows to connect the achievements of human thought, isolated from various sciences, for the purpose to use them in preservation of tangible cultural heritage objects in a single whole.
4. Comparative analysis serves as a basis to determine the main directions of cultural heritage preservation – restoration, conservation, renovation, and revitalization – and to separate them in the process of choosing of one of the directions.
5. System analysis allows to differentiate separate sciences in the frames of the scientific direction of Tactile Klironomy and identify the path of sequence and interaction of Tactile Klironomical Sciences.
