Heritage is Movement Heritage Management and Research in a Diverse and Plural World

Heritage is Movement Heritage Management and Research in a Diverse and Plural World

This book presents new ways of understanding heritage and heritage work. It addresses the ways physical processes of creation maintenance and decay are entangled with cultural and political processes of management access and care. The book analyzes a critical practice of heritage work oriented to recognizing and collaborating with diverse knowledge holders and their practices of caring for heritage. This requires rethinking accepted heritage concepts such as heritage management artifact site and the definition of heritage itself. The book presents an engaging and applied approach to this task through examples that include Majapahit statues and temples in Indonesia skating in London an online heritage movement building bivouacs in Australia First Nations advocacy for Country and batik collections in the Netherlands. Offering a new model for collaborative heritage research and analysis this book will be of interest to researchers students and practitioners. Drawing from developments from the posthumanities cultural geography and critical heritage studies it presents a collaborative mode of scholarship and writing that considers how people care for and use the things history leaves them. | Heritage is Movement Heritage Management and Research in a Diverse and Plural World

Heritage Conservation and China's Belt and Road Initiative

Heritage Conservation and China's Belt and Road Initiative

This book explores how China’s Belt and Road Initiative through promoting a non-Western-centred geopolitical narrative is affecting the conservation and management of Belt and Road heritage sites. Considering the dynamics between academics heritage professionals and government officials the inscription process and management of Silk Roads heritage sites and the practice of China’s Belt and Road heritage diplomacy the book examines how changing heritage conservation practices are influenced by politics and professionalism and negotiated in different ways across different nation states in the Belt and Road zones. Highlighting the different aims and outlooks of Chinese diplomacy UNESCO and other international heritage conservation organisations nation states as guardians of national interests and local communities as custodians of everyday lived heritage it shows how the Belt and Road Initiative has energised multilateral efforts in heritage diplomacy and management. It also discusses how the ‘professional’ status of heritage professionals including practitioners engaged by governments and international organisations and also scholars and researchers who provide consultancy advice is often not politics-free with heritage professionals often co-opted into speaking for stakeholders especially national governments. | Heritage Conservation and China's Belt and Road Initiative

Heritage Statecraft and Corporate Power Altai Activism in Post-Soviet Siberia

Heritage Statecraft and Corporate Power Altai Activism in Post-Soviet Siberia

Heritage Statecraft and Corporate Power examines the politicization of heritage and heritage conflicts in Siberia. In so doing it challenges the idea that heritage is created by the state and instead argues that heritage creates the state. Building upon extensive ethnographic fieldwork undertaken in south-central Eurasia this book provides an analysis of the sociopolitical enmeshment of archaeology and heritage in Russia’s resource colony: Siberia. Although many examples from across Siberia are discussed the core study region for the book is the Altai Republic which is located where Russia Mongolia Kazakhstan and China intersect. Taking a “heritage statecraft” approach Plets argues that heritage is a particularly important political instrument in this region. The book considers how different social “groups”—including indigenous communities Russian settlers displaced groups national and international archaeologists political parties and energy companies—translate archaeological data into culturally distinct heritages. Plets encourages scrutiny of the different players that mobilize heritage to instill norms and ideas and the ways in which new regulations or institutions are ultimately implemented. Heritage Statecraft and Corporate Power contributes to key debates around the politics of archaeology resource development and cultural heritage. It will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of heritage archaeology and memory. | Heritage Statecraft and Corporate Power Altai Activism in Post-Soviet Siberia

Asia’s Heritage Trend Examining Asia’s Present through Its Past

Asia’s Heritage Trend Examining Asia’s Present through Its Past

Kim and Zoh bring together a team of contributors to analyse the role of heritage studies across Asia and its impact on Asia and its constituent countries. Is there such a thing as ‘Asian heritage’? Is it more helpful to understand Asia as a single unit or as a set of sub- regions? What can we learn about Asia’s present through its archaeology and heritage? Covering a wide range of countries including Afghanistan Cambodia China Korea Laos Myanmar Japan Taiwan Thailand and Vietnam the contributors to this book address these key questions. In doing so they look at a number of critical issues such as UNESCO World Heritage status cultural propaganda cultural erasure and difficult heritage. While addressing Asia’s past they also observe key issues within present- day Asia further providing conceptual and practical insights into the methods that are being applied to the study of Asia’s heritage today.

Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Focusing on how museums prioritize and produce content Hip Heritage demonstrates how economic issues play an ever-larger role in determining how cultural heritage is being framed and presented in contemporary heritage museums. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted by the authors at seven museums over the course of five years this book offers an in-depth analysis of heritage museums in Nordic Scandinavian and North American contexts. It investigates how economic realities coupled with the cultural contexts in which museums operate affect how these institutions organize manage and develop their collections to make themselves relevant in society. Once charged with the primary task of educating citizens about their cultural identity and history national museums and heritage organizations are also under pressure to rethink their market demands and meet stakeholders’ increasing interest in growing visitor numbers and expanding economic returns. Simultaneously many museums are part of a cultural sector with diminished public funding and increased competition for the existing financing. Against this background this book questions: ‘When the budget is tight whose heritage counts most?’ It considers museums as arenas for heritage politics in action on the local national and international levels as well as at the institutional level. Hip Heritage will appeal to scholars and students engaged in the study of ethnology heritage museum studies marketing leisure and tourism public folklore and sociology. | Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan In the Shadow of the Buddhas

A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan In the Shadow of the Buddhas

A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan investigates the politics of cultural heritage preservation in Afghanistan between 2008 and 2015. Based on several periods of ethnographic fieldwork and the author’s direct employment on several internationally-sponsored heritage projects this book studies the new and complex intersections between cultural heritage and politics in Afghanistan. Wyndham argues that a particular configuration of heritage and politics has emerged after the destruction of the Buddhas at Bamyan and demonstrates how the characteristics of this ‘post-Bamyan’ heritage paradigm are revealed through a number of case studies of internationally sponsored heritage work. These case studies reveal how politics and heritage are currently configured across a diverse range of governments state and non-state actors NGOs individuals and forms of expertise—and why such intersections matter. The book responds to a call from across the discipline of Heritage Studies to look more closely at the relationships between heritage power and politics. A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan provides a fascinating case study on the intersection of heritage and politics that will be of interest to students and scholars of heritage as well as to professionals working on heritage preservation - both within and outside of government. | A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan In the Shadow of the Buddhas

The Future of Religious Heritage Entangled Temporalities of the Sacred and the Secular

The Future of Religious Heritage Entangled Temporalities of the Sacred and the Secular

The Future of Religious Heritage examines the resurgence of religious heritage in a secular age and frames such heritage as both legacy from the past and promise for the future. Drawing on case studies from across Europe this volume addresses the intersection of three well-defined areas of research: secularism religious heritage and the question of renewal. Considering the heritagisation of religion and the sacralisation of heritage contributions to the book consider to what extent the idea of renewal so pivotal to religious and secular ontologies is present in heritage formations. Thinking about the temporalities of re-enactment and reconstruction this volume examines whether heritage practices incorporate religious time into secular practice. Problematising such temporalities of the sacred in our post-secular age the volume explores how these intersections of religious and secular time in heritage practices inform constructions of the future. The Future of Religious Heritage addresses the paradox of the secularisation of religion and the sacralisation of heritage in a post-secular age. It will appeal to academics and students with an interest in critical heritage studies religion and (post)secularism and will also be of interest to those studying re-enactment regeneration and renewal. | The Future of Religious Heritage Entangled Temporalities of the Sacred and the Secular

Transmedia Narratives for Cultural Heritage Remixing History

Transmedia Narratives for Cultural Heritage Remixing History

Transmedia Narratives for Cultural Heritage focuses on theoretical approaches to the analysis and creative practice of developing non-fiction digital transmedia narratives in the rapidly growing cultural heritage sector. This book applies a media-focused transdisciplinary approach to understand the conventions of emerging digital narrative genres. Considering digital media’s impact on narrative creation and reception the approach namely remixed transmedia can aid practitioners in creating strategic non-fiction narratives for cultural heritage. These creations also need to be evaluated and a digital-media focused ‘ludonarrative toolkit’ allows for the critical analysis of the composition and public participation in interactive digital narratives. This toolkit is applied and exemplified in genres including virtual museums serious games and interactive documentaries. The book also includes a seven-phase theoretical framework that can assist future creators (and project managers) of non-fiction transmedia ‘mothership’ narratives; and a methodology (based on ‘big data analysis’) for how to invent new cultural heritage narratives through bottom-up remixing that allows for public inclusion. Two transnational case studies on the 11 UNESCO World Heritage Australian Convict Sites and the Irish National Famine Way demonstrate the seven-phase framework’s applicability. As many scholars across disciplines are increasingly creating digital narratives on historical topics for public consumption in various forms the theoretical foundations and practical project management framework will be useful for scholars and project teams in the domains of transmedia studies interactive narratives cultural heritage media studies comparative literature and journalism. | Transmedia Narratives for Cultural Heritage Remixing History

Professionalism in the Built Heritage Sector Edited Contributions to the International Conference on Professionalism in the Built Heritage S

Professionalism in the Built Heritage Sector Edited Contributions to the International Conference on Professionalism in the Built Heritage S

Professionalism entails the conduct aims and qualities that characterise a profession. The term is also used to describe education and training standards for the knowledge and skills necessary to perform a specific profession. In practice professional standards of practice and ethics are agreed upon and maintained by recognised associations. In the past professionalism has not occupied a central place in built heritage discussions policy and research. Recent changes in terms of public attitudes and sustainability concerns have had a cumulative impact on the requirements for professionalism in the built heritage sector. The future success of the sector will depend on the availability of adequate professionals and an appropriately skilled workforce. In practice the built heritage sector involves much more than interventions to conserve preserve rehabilitate or restore a heritage structure. Bringing a project to fruition begins with the formulation of a policy proceeds to the design and execution of intervention strategies and ends with ongoing maintenance of heritage structures and related future programming. This process requires sufficient interactions between different professionals to obtain a common vision and hold that vision throughout a project. At the same time the sustainability of the sector is also defined by effective governance societal support and cultural rationales. Professionalism in the Built Heritage Sector contains reports on the lectures of the international conference organized by the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation (Leuven Belgium February 5th-8th 2018). The contributions in this volume meet the increasing demand for shared information to support the transition towards a more sustainable conservation process. The volume consists of three main parts that deal with practice-led research or scientific research: Profiles and capacities Education training and quality labels and Obstacles and changes. | Professionalism in the Built Heritage Sector Edited Contributions to the International Conference on Professionalism in the Built Heritage S

Reconsidering Colonial Heritage in West African Cities Urban Space in Cape Verde Senegal and The Gambia

Reconsidering Colonial Heritage in West African Cities Urban Space in Cape Verde Senegal and The Gambia

The material heritage of the colonial era is built into Africa’s cities from their urban layouts to their architecture monuments and street names. This book discusses the varying responses to colonial heritage in West African cities with a particular focus on the case studies of Praia in Cape Verde Dakar in Senegal and Banjul in The Gambia. Europeans tended to focus on cities as centres of administration and they were often both the starting points for settlement and the locations in which power was formally handed over to new African governments. Colonialism in Praia Dakar and Banjul was abolished at different times under different colonial powers (Portuguese French and British) and amongst vastly different conditions of unrest. Based on extensive original research this book demonstrates that the contemporary approach to the contentious issue of urban colonial heritage is often determined by metropolis-colony relationship before decolonisation postcolonial diplomatic relations as well as present-day political decisions. The book uncovers a rich relationship between politics and urban space and between new and old. Combining insights from political sciences history critical geography heritage studies and urban planning this book will be of interest to a wide range of researchers. | Reconsidering Colonial Heritage in West African Cities Urban Space in Cape Verde Senegal and The Gambia

Post-heritage Perspectives on British Period Drama Television

Post-heritage Perspectives on British Period Drama Television

Drawing upon the existing scholarship of period drama and emerging research into new media ecologies instigated by television streaming services such as Netflix this book establishes a critical framework for understanding the representation of nationhood and cultural identity in television drama. By formalising the term ‘post-heritage’ the book proposes a methodology which recognises the interplay of traditional and innovative elements within period drama productions. The book applies this critical perspective to popular British period drama productions from the 2010s with examples including The Crown the ‘society dramas’ of Upstairs Downstairs and Downton Abbey Steven Knight’s Dickens adaptations and Stephen Poliakoff’s recent oeuvre to demonstrate the benefits of evaluating period drama as part of twenty-first century television’s developments. It challenges the assumptions around characteristics and ideological purpose that period drama discourse often contends with and offers new perspectives on understanding the past through televisual representations. This book will be important reading for students and scholars of television studies film studies and cultural studies. | Post-heritage Perspectives on British Period Drama Television

The Past in Contemporary Society: Then Now

The Past in Contemporary Society: Then Now

Changes or innovations which threaten `our heritage' arouse great hostility in those who want to preserve the past in its entirity. `The heritage' has become a commodity a device to sell everything from biscuits to country houses. Fowler skilfully examines the present relationship between the past and the present analysing the manner in which we mould and interpret the past to fit our current needs. He assesses the influence of our heritage in the last decade of the 20th century and with a wide range of examples judges the consequences of the increasing pressures of the heritage industry. As well as a diagnosis of where the past is being misused he provides prescriptions for responsible development and a thoughtful interpretation of a common past. As well as addressing the needs of the professional involved in the heritage industry he also considers the consumer - all those who visit museums enjoy a historic site or an art exhibition or who simply dislike the hijacking of our common heritage by commercial or vested interests. | The Past in Contemporary Society: Then Now

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

The Viking Age lasted a little over three centuries but has left a lasting legacy across Europe. These dynamic warrior-traders from Scandinavia who fought and interacted with peoples as far apart as North America Russia and Central Asia are some of the most recognizable historical figures in the western world. In the modern imagination they represent ruthlessness heroism adventurousness and a unique prestige embellished by the wondrous tales and poetry of the sagas. Yet the sum of evidence for the Viking presence is far less clear than their reputation implies. In Search of Vikings presents a collection of papers from experts in a broad range of disciplines including history archaeology genetics and linguistics to provide a detailed understanding of the Vikings in peace and in war. This book focuses on one particularly exciting area of the Viking world namely the north-west region of England where they are known to have settled in large numbers. North-west England was the crossroads between Ireland Scotland Wales the Isle of Man and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It was a battleground for distant powers and dynasties and its Irish Sea coastline created opportunities for trading and settlement. Silver hoards burials and Old Norse place-names attest to the Viking presence and Scandinavian DNA is detectable amongst the modern population. The 12 integrated studies in this book are designed to reinvigorate the search for Vikings in this crucial region and to provide must-reading for anyone interested in Viking history. | In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

The Ambiguous Legacy of Socialist Modernist Architecture in Central and Eastern Europe

The Ambiguous Legacy of Socialist Modernist Architecture in Central and Eastern Europe

This book examines the unique socialist-modernist architecture built in the twentieth century in Central and Eastern Europe as a source of heritage and of existing and potential value for the present and future generations. Due to the historical context in which it was created such architecture remains ambiguous. On the one hand the wider public associates it with the legacy of the unpleasant period of the real socialist economic regime. Yet on the other hand it is also a manifestation of social modernization and the promotion of a significant proportion of the population. This book focuses particularly on concrete heritage a legacy of modernist architecture in Central and Eastern Europe and it was this material that enabled their rebuilding after World War II and modernization during the following decades. The authors search for the value of modernist architecture and using case studies from Poland Bulgaria Northern Macedonia Lithuania and Slovenia verify to what extent this heritage is embedded in the local socio-economic milieu and becomes a basis for creating new values. They argue that the challenge is to change the ways we think about heritage from looking at it from the point of view of a single monument to thinking in terms of a place with its own character and identity that builds its relation to history and its embeddedness in the local space. Furthermore they propose that the preservation of existing concrete structures and adapting them to modern needs is of great importance for sustainability. With increasing awareness of the issue of preserving post-war architectural heritage and the strategies of dissonant heritage management this multidisciplinary study will be of interest to architecture historians conservators heritage economists urban planners and architects. | The Ambiguous Legacy of Socialist Modernist Architecture in Central and Eastern Europe

Adaptive Reuse in Latin America Cultural Identity Values and Memory

Adaptive Reuse in Latin America Cultural Identity Values and Memory

This book seeks to explore the theoretical and architectural connections between memory values cultural identity and adaptive reuse in Latin America. It does so by critically analyzing ideas and works within the context from where they emerge. With rich and layered historic centers a wealth of colonial and 19th-century buildings and the heritage from the modern era Latin America offers a unique architectural patrimony and its contribution and impact on contemporary culture and architecture still require critical study and discussion. The chapters of this timely book consider the conflicted relationship between colonialism native cultures and immigration. It also explores the connections between modern projects and national identity and contemporary interventions serving the needs of diverse societies while being cultural receptacles of memory. While most books on adaptive reuse focus on the larger general concepts different technical approaches and case studies this book will contribute to the study of adaptive reuse moving away from Europe and North America focusing instead on cases in Brazil Mexico Argentina Ecuador and Peru. This book is an important resource for researchers and students in the area of architecture cultural global and design studies heritage geography sociology and history. | Adaptive Reuse in Latin America Cultural Identity Values and Memory

Museums Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency

Museums Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency considers the impact of the Anthropocene on history and memory approaches to objects and agency and the incommensurability of western and Indigenous ontologies. Drawing on Indigenous knowledge humanities and museological literature continental philosophy contemporary art and popular culture Baker acknowledges the autonomous agency of geological forms including soils minerals and fossil fuels. Demonstrating that this has implications for an expanded idea of an ‘inclusive’ museum and its relationship to entities beyond ‘life’ and living species the book argues that the ‘inclusion’ paradigm needs to include nonlife actors. Gesturing to a geontological ‘turn’ through developing notions of geo-inclusion the mineralhuman and approaches to object agency that connect with Aboriginal ‘heritage’ Baker exposes the ongoing destruction of Country by mining interests in Western Australia and elsewhere. By addressing the need for urgent change through the artifice of the museum the book identifies an expanded approach to inclusion beyond the limits imposed by the politics of identity. Museums Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency theorises the potential of an expanded idea of the museum and will be of interest to scholars and students engaged in the study of museums and heritage environmental humanities and geo-humanities ecological art history and contemporary art.
