Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This insightful Research Agenda examines the multidimensional relationship between heritage planning and pressing current societal challenges around climate, identity and development. Mapping future avenues for the field, it suggests new approaches to executing, studying and reflecting on heritage planning. Expert international contributors raise key questions that challenge practice and research to push for structural and institutional change, highlighting how heritage planning, conservation, and adaptive reuse have transformative potential - and the responsibilities that come with such potential. Chapters explore central topics including industrial heritage and conservation planning, digital reconstruction methods and remote sensing technologies, rural tourism, participation and heritage-led regeneration, as well as issues around contestation and politicization, and the conceptualisations of heritage planning.Spanning the domains of theoretical and empirical insights, from academic outlooks to professional challenges, this Research Agenda will be a vital resource for academics and students of urban and human geography, heritage studies, planning, urban design and architecture. Its examination of particular heritage projects will also be useful for policy makers and professionals working in the heritage planning field.Trade Review‘A Research Agenda for Heritage Planning: Perspectives from Europe the book by Eva Stegmeijer and Loes Veldpaus brings new dialogues and bridges the dichotomy of an “east” and “west” understanding of heritage that has been taken for granted as two different dichotomies. This book offers an insight on how the western world itself is also not homogenous in the understanding of what heritage is and heritage is not always tangible in the “west”. This book shows readers that there is no universal European understanding of heritage and planning. Only in specific divisions of European countries and mostly in urban contexts does so-called European heritage understanding dominate the discourse and planning. This book aims to not only elaborate on heritage planning and research in Europe, but also push beyond a Eurocentric approach, and examine the research this approach produces and the foundation on which it is developed, as well as give funding to the projects and people who work in this field.’ -- Cut Dewi, Built Heritage‘A Research Agenda for Heritage Planning offers an ambitious reflection on the complex articulation of research, practice and policy that inform the uses of heritage in Europe today. Editors Eva Stegmeijer and Loes Veldpaus gather a coherent, wide-ranging selection of cases, successfully stressing heritage’s decisive role in solving Europe's current identity, climate and developmental challenges. As an extensive recount of the latest research advancements, this book will exceed the expectations of those exploring the frontiers of heritage, and enlighten readers about the profound transcendence of its planning in contemporary societies.’ -- Plácido González Martínez, Tongji University, China‘This edited volume by Stegmeijer and Veldpaus provides a ground-breaking Research Agenda for heritage planning and would be useful not only for practitioners, but also for academics, students and politicians.’ -- Sophia Labadi, University of Kent, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword: some key challenges for heritage science research xix PART I SETTING THE SCENE FOR HERITAGE PLANNING: PERSPECTIVES FROM EUROPE 1 Introduction to A Research Agenda for Heritage Planning: the state of heritage planning in Europe 31 Eva Stegmeijer, Loes Veldpaus and Joks Janssen 2 Heritage research in the 21st century: departing from the useful futures of sustainable develoment 49 Višnja Kisić 3 The value of heritage in sustainable development and spatial planning 67 Koenraad Van Balen and Aziliz Vandesande PART II CURRENT RESEARCH IN HERITAGE PLANNING: PROJECTS FROM EUROPE SECTION A HERITAGE AND IDENTITY 4 Introduction to heritage and identity: from planning and policies to communities, and back 85 Remi Wacogne 5 Exploring archaeology’s place in participatory European cultural landscape management: perspectives from the ‘REFIT’ project 89 Tom Moore and Gemma Tully 6 Industrial heritage and conservation planning, changing governance practices, examples from Europe 103 Loes Veldpaus and Remi Wacogne 7 Developing participation through digital reconstruction and communication of ‘lost’ heritage 115 Laura Loredana Micoli, Gabriele Guidi, Pablo Rodríguez-Gonzálvez, Diego González-Aguilera 8 Cultural heritage and European identity in European Union law and policy 127 Francesca Fiorentini, Kristin Hausler and Andrzej Jakubowski SECTION B HERITAGE AND CLIMATE 9 Introduction to heritage and climate change: current gaps and scientific challenges 143 Claudio Margottini 10 New uses for old waterways 149 Francesco Vallerani and Francesco Visentin 11 Satellite monitoring of geo-hazards affecting cultural heritage 161 Daniele Spizzichino and Claudio Margottini 12 Archaeological site monitoring and risk assessment using remote sensing technologies and GIS 171 Stefano De Angeli and Fabiana Battistin SECTION C HERITAGE AND DEVELOPMENT 13 Introduction to heritage and development: the agency of heritage in rural and urban development practices 183 Annelie Sjölander-Lindqvist 14 Cultural heritage and improvised music in European festivals 189 Tony Whyton and Beth Perry 15 Cultural heritage at work for economy and society 201 Stefano Della Torre and Rossella Moioli 16 Gastronomy and creative entrepreneurship in rural tourism: encouraging sustainable community development 213 Annelie Sjölander-Lindqvist, Anna de Jong, Romà Garrido Puig, Giuseppa Romeo and Wilhelm Skoglund PART III RESEARCH AGENDA FOR HERITAGE PLANNING.

Book SynopsisExploring the relationship between cultural heritage and local economic development, this book introduces the original idea that one possible mediator between the two can be identified as creativity. Using a strong theoretical and empirical framework, Silvia Cerisola explores how cultural heritage, creativity and economic development are inextricably linked. This book is a clear econometric demonstration of how cultural heritage, through its inspirational role on different creative talents, generates an indirect positive effect on local economic development. These positive results justify important new policy recommendations in the field of cultural heritage. Interpreting both creativity and cultural heritage in a novel way, the author offers a new reading of the long lasting debate on the topic, examining different roles and impacts on the welfare of the local community. Regional science scholars will greatly appreciate the original conceptual framework and the empirical foundations of the book, as well as the thorough explanation of different approaches to the measurement of creativity. Policy makers and stakeholders will also benefit from the case studies highlighting the importance of cultural heritage.Trade Review'This book is one of the very first to explore a perspective too often forgotten in the debates on the value of cultural heritage. It deals with the support of cultural heritage for creativeness and helps us understand heritage as an asset for the future, and not merely as a footprint of the past. Moreover this book combines theoretical and statistical perspectives, which makes a seminal contribution for both practitioners and academics.' --Xavier Greffe, University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, France'The invaluable effects of cultural heritage on society in terms of education, inspiration and identity are commonly acknowledged in the relevant literature, but have never been assessed in quantitative terms. This book does so in a rigorous and convincing way, through the role of another critical element, social creativity.' --Roberto Camagni, Politecnico di Milano, Italy'By attributing to cultural heritage an inspirational and creative value, this book provides a fascinating new insight on its relationship with regional development. The volume elegantly conceptualises and empirically tests the role of creativity as a mediator between cultural heritage and local performance.' --Roberta Capello, Politecnico di Milano, Italy and Past President of RSAI, PortugalTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisAn Open Access edition of this book will be made available on publication on our website and on the OAPEN Library, funded by the LUP Open Access Author Fund.The Persistence of Memory is a history of the public memory of transatlantic slavery in the largest slave-trading port city in Europe, from the end of the 18th century into the 21st century; from history to memory. Mapping this public memory over more than two centuries reveals the ways in which dissonant pasts, rather than being ‘forgotten histories’, persist over time as a contested public debate. This public memory, intimately intertwined with constructions of ‘place’ and ‘identity’, has been shaped by legacies of transatlantic slavery itself, as well as other events, contexts and phenomena along its trajectory, revealing the ways in which current narratives and debate around difficult histories have histories of their own. By the 21st century, Liverpool, once the ‘slaving capital of the world’, had more permanent and long-lasting memory work relating to transatlantic slavery than any other British city. The long history of how Liverpool, home to Britain’s oldest continuous black presence, has publicly ‘remembered’ its own slaving past, how this has changed over time and why, is of central significance and relevance to current and ongoing efforts to face contested histories, particularly those surrounding race, slavery and empire.Trade Review'An extremely thoughtful and illuminating book, based on meticulous research. As a contribution to our understanding of the legacy of slavery in Liverpool, this book will be regarded as a landmark study, offering a very clever and insightful meditation on history and memory that is bound to excite interest on both sides of the Atlantic.'Professor John Oldfield, Director of the Wilberforce Institute for the study of Slavery and Emancipation, University of Hull'Moody’s book is timely and instructive. Though each is important in its own right, it offers more than an academic meditation on theories of memory... It provides, too, an insightful case study of how evolving and contested memories of Britain’s colonial and slave past are reshaping the 21st century cultural and political landscape of the nation as a whole.'David Richardson, Memory Studies'The Persistence of Memory is impressive in scope because Jessica Moody brings together many different ways of memorializing the slave trade and slavery...

Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This timely Research Agenda moves beyond classic approaches that consider the relationship between heritage and tourism either as problematic or as a factor for local development, and instead adopts an understanding of heritage and tourism as two reciprocally supported social phenomena that are co-produced.Chapters draw on case studies from Europe, North America and Asia, offering important insights on heritage consumption, hypercommodification, war tourism, dissonant heritage, decolonizing heritage and the rising importance of the digital world of tourism. The book commences with a global overview on the changing paradigm of heritage tourism, before focusing on heritage and tourism at different scales and the impacts of globalization on heritagization. It also examines the political nature of tourism heritage construction and the experiential turn of heritage tourism practices.An invigorating read for students and scholars of tourism and heritage studies, this book offers a multitude of suggestions for pathways for future research. It is also a timely read for those working with heritage sites and looking to better understand the intersection between heritage and tourism.Trade Review'The incomparable Maria Gravari-Barbas has brought together a multinational, multidisciplinary and multi-perspectival group of experts who push the boundaries of how we should approach the sometimes blurred intersections of heritage and tourism.

Book SynopsisAn Exhibition History of Victorian Leeds is a groundbreaking account of the city’s cultural history through its public exhibitions. Offering a vivid analysis of these striking displays in appropriated spaces, it explores Leeds’ relationship with fine and decorative arts, industrial culture and the sciences over the course of the nineteenth century. This significant contribution to urban history establishes Leeds’ importance to the development of British art and design, collecting practices and museum culture, firmly situated in their regional, national and international contexts. From temporary exhibitions in music halls and cloth halls, hospitals and military barracks emerged the networks and structures that informed the development of the city’s permanent cultural institutions. The book closes with the first comprehensive history of the establishment of Leeds Art Gallery, its inaugural exhibitions and founding donations, which would go on to form one of the strongest collections of fine art in the country.Trade Review'With clarity of argument, depth of research, and the persuasiveness with which the author argues for the importance of the public exhibitions that preceded the founding of Leeds’ permanent art gallery in the 1880s, this book makes an important and original argument, filling a gap in our knowledge and understanding of the cultural history of a major industrial city.' Professor Kate Flint, University of Southern California

Book SynopsisDrawing upon international case studies, and building upon Iain J.M. Robertson?'s work on ?'heritage from below?', After Heritage sheds critical light on heritage-making and heritagescapes that are, more frequently than not, located in virtual, less conspicuous and more everyday spaces. The book considers the highly personal, often ephemeral, individual ?- vis-à-vis collective -? experiences of (in)formal ways the past has been folded into contemporary societies. In doing so, it unravels the merits of examining more intimate materializations of heritage not only as a check against, but also complementary to, what Laurajanne Smith refers to as ?'Authorized Heritage Discourses?'. It also argues against the tendency to romanticize the fleeting and largely obscured means through which alternative forms of heritage-making are produced, performed and patronized. Ultimately, this book provides a clarion call to reinsert the individual and the transient into collective heritage processes.Researchers in human and cultural geography, heritage studies and tourism studies will find this strong contribution to the developing field of Critical Heritage Studies an insightful read. Policy makers and heritage practitioners will also develop a deeper understanding of how heritage practices may benefit from the '?heritage from below?' approach.Contributors include: A. Aceska, R. Carter-White, M. Cook, D. Drozdzewski, J. Gillen, C. Minca, H. Muzaini, M. Ormond, A.E. Potter, I.J.M. Robertson, J. TynerTrade ReviewAfter Heritage not only offers much needed critical analysis of the heritage-making power and practices of ordinary people, but also productively de-stabilizes the binaries that have long constrained critical memory studies - individual versus collective, intangible versus material, and bottom up versus top down. Its rich array of case studies move us beyond monolithic understandings of how the past is produced, resisted and emplaced within everyday life.' --Derek H. Alderman, University of Tennessee, US'By excavating politics and identities from below, the nine chapters of this book fascinatingly bring back into focus the everyday, mundane and the local; themes and contexts that continue to be too often overlooked by scholars in heritage studies. Moving away from accounts of state politics and world heritage sites, the book identifies why we need to critically examine family memorabilia, Bruce Lee and motorbiking as forms of heritage. After Heritage makes a significant contribution to the debate concerning where critical heritage studies should head in the future through its various nudges for conceptual innovation and its welcome incorporation of examples from different regions.' --Tim Winter, University of Western AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisExamines the ethical dilemma of whether, and how, archaeologists and other experts should work with the military to protect cultural property in times of conflict. The world reacted with horror to the images of the looting of the National Museum in Iraq in 2003 - closely followed by other museums and then, largely unchecked, or archaeological sites across the country. This outcome had been predicted by many archaeologists, with some offering to work directly with the military to identify museums and sites to be avoided and protected. However, this work has since been heavily criticised by others working in the field,who claim that such collaboration lended a legitimacy to the invasion. It has therefore served to focus on the broader issue of whether archaeologists and other cultural heritage experts should ever work with the military,and, if so, under what guidelines and strictures. The essays in this book, drawn from a series of international conferences and seminars on the debate, provide an historical background to the ethical issues facing cultural heritage experts, and place them in a wider context. How do medical and religious experts justify their close working relationships with the military? Is all contact with those engaged in conflict wrong? Does working with the military really constitute tacit agreement with military and political goals, or can it be seen as contributing to the winning of a peace rather than success in war? Are guidelines required to help define roles and responsibilities? And can conflict situations be seen as simply an extension of protecting cultural property on military training bases? The book opens and addresses these and other questions as matters of crucial debate. Contributors: Peter Stone, Margaret M.

Book SynopsisEssays looking at heritage practices and the construction of the past, along with how they can be used to build a national identity. The preservation of architectural monuments has played a key role in the formation of national identities from the nineteenth century to the present. The task of maintaining the collective memories and ideas of a shared heritage often focused on the historic built environment as the most visible sign of a link with the past. The meaning of such monuments and sites has, however, often been the subject of keen dispute: whose heritage is being commemorated, by whom and for whom? The answers to such questions are not always straightforward, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, the recent history of which has been characterized by territorial disputes, the large-scale movement of peoples, and cultural dispossession. This volume considers the dilemmas presented by the recent and complex histories of European states such as Germany, Greece, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Examining the effect ofthe destruction of buildings by war, the loss of territories, or the "unwanted" built heritage of the Communist and Nazi regimes, the contributors examine how architectural and urban sites have been created, destroyed, or transformed, in the attempt to make visible a national heritage.

Book SynopsisWide-ranging essays on intangible cultural heritage, with a focus on its negotiation, its value, and how to protect it. Awareness of the significance of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has recently grown, due to the promotional efforts of UNESCO and its Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003). However, the increased recognition of intangible heritage has brought to light its undervalued status within the museum and heritage sector, and raised questions about safeguarding efforts, ownership, protective legal frameworks, authenticity and how global initiatives can be implemented at a local level, where most ICH is located. This book provides a variety of international perspectives on these issues, exploring how holistic and integrated approaches to safeguarding ICH offer an opportunity to move beyond the rhetoric of UNESCO; in partiular, the authors demonstrate that the alternative methods and attitudes that frequently exist at a local level can be the most effective way of safeguarding ICH. Perspectives are presented both from "established voices", of scholars and practitioners, and from "new voices", those of indigenous and local communities, where intangible heritage lives. It will be an important resource for students of museum and heritage studies, anthropology, folk studies, the performing arts, intellectual property law and politics.

Book SynopsisEssays exploring the relationship between museums and biographies, with worldwide examples and from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Museums and biographies both tell the stories of lives. This innovative collection examines for the first time biography - of individuals, objects and institutions - in relationship to the museum, casting new light on the many facets of museum history and theory, from the lives of prominent curators, to the context of museums of biography and autobiography. Separate sections cover individual biography and museum history, problematising individual biographies, institutional biographies, object biographies, and museums as biographies/autobiographies. These articles offer new ways of thinking about museums and museum history, exploring how biography in and of the museum enrichesmuseum stories by stressing the inter-related nature of lives of people, objects and institutions as part of a dense web of relationships. Through their widely ranging research, the contributors demonstrate the value of thinkingabout the stories told in and by museums, and the relationships which make up museums; and suggest new ways of undertaking and understanding museum biographies.

Book SynopsisBoth a practical guide to, and a reflection on, best practice in making archaeology available to a wide audience. In a relatively short period of time the study of archaeology has evolved from an antiquarian interest to a specialised scientific activity. As each new method and technique is developed, and each new specialism is created, the challenge of making archaeology available as a learning resource grows with it. This book, the first to deal with the subject in such depth, examines the place of education and outreach within the wider archaeological community. Written by one of the UK's leading experts in the field, it charts the difficult development of 'education and archaeology'. With numerous informative case studies, from public access to the Roman circus at Colchester to education projects in Athens at Hadrian's Wall, among others, the book examines how the teaching of archaeology has reached the point at which it is today, summarises where that is in the author's view, and suggests areas for further enquiry. By drawing upon many decades of experience at the front line of archaeological education, the author has produced a key text that will play a major role in the continuing development of the heritage industry. . MIKE CORBISHLEY lectures in heritage education at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London.Trade ReviewComprehensive and good value for money, this volume maps the extent of the relationship between archaeology, heritage, and education; an undertaking that has, to this reviewer's knowledge, never been done before. * HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT *The strength of Corbishley's book is the detailed use of case studies for each chapter. * AUSTRALIAN ARCHAEOLOGY *Fascinating and enlivening [...] for its studied and humanistic engagement in how civil society can be furthered and horizons widened through the use of archaeology. [A] gem of a book. * RESCUE NEWS *Shows how participation in archaeology and heritage can be effectively developed. * CONTEXT *Stimulates us to compare and contrast, to think critically and explicitly about the various intentions and outcomes of museum or site interpretations, efforts at explaining excavations, or how we deal with hard-to-motivate audiences. There is much to plunder here, and in the sources signposted through the bibliography. * BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGY *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Making Connections Accessing the Past Archaeology and the Media The Development of Archaeology and Education Archaeology in School Curricula: a World View Learning Resources for Archaeology and History Archaeology across the Curriculum Archaeologists as Detectives Learning Outdoors Learning from Objects Recycling Past and Present Citizenship and the Historic Environment Conclusions: Celebrating Archaeology in Education

Book SynopsisTourism is frequently seen as a way of creating new employment opportunities in those regions which have suffered from severe de-industrialization and major cutbacks in manufacturing industry.This important book - based on new and original research - examines the economic impact, measured in employment terms, of the North of England Open Air Museum at Beamish. The authors provide a detailed assessment of the direct, indirect and induced employment generated by the museum. The assessment of the museum's employment impact is placed firmly within the context of its historical development and of the region's tourism activity.Tourism, Museums and the Local Economy focuses on one particular museum, but the methodology and much of the discussion are widely applicable to the evaluation of other tourist attractions. The policy implications of the study are fully assessed by the authors who also make use of a series of international comparisons. The book will be of interest to economists, geographers and all those who have an interest in tourism, the arts and museums, and regional development. It will be an invaluable asset to planners and policymakers at both central and local government level.Trade Review'Tourism, Museums and the Local Economy offers some lessons to tourism managers and scholars. It will be a good addition to research collections in economics, regional development and public policy.'Table of ContentsContents: 1. The Purpose of the Study 2. The Development of the Museum 3.

Book SynopsisHonorable Mention for Best Book Award from the Historia Reciente y Memoria Section of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA)​Memories before the State examines the discussions and debates surrounding the creation of the Place of Memory, Tolerance, and Social Inclusion (LUM), a national museum in Peru that memorializes the country’s internal armed conflict of the 1980s and 1990s. Emerging from a German donation that the Peruvian government initially rejected, the Lima-based museum project experienced delays, leadership changes, and limited institutional support as planners and staff devised strategies that aligned the LUM with a new class of globalized memorial museums and responded to political realities of the country’s postwar landscape. The book analyzes forms of authority that emerge as an official institution seeks to incorporate and manage diverse perspectives on recent violence. Trade Review“Engaging, accessible and captivating, Memories before the State draws a compelling and textured portrait of the politics involved in the construction of a national museum of memory and presents a nuanced examination of how memory is influenced by global discourses and local forces.” -- Olga González * Associate Professor, Anthropology Department, Associate Dean, Kofi Annan Institute for Global Citize *"Focusing primarily on Peru’s single national museum dedicated to memory of the internal conflict, Feldman offers an analysis of contemporary memory politics in state-sanctioned spaces. His insights speak to wider debates on memorial museums globally." -- Cynthia Milton * Professor, University of Victoria, Department of History, Past President of the College of New Schol *"A welcome contribution to memory studies. Feldman documents how liberal elites curate an official story of Peru’s internal conflict (1980-2000), framing what they believe their country needs to cope with legacies of mass violence." -- Isaias Rojas-Perez * Associate Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Rutgers University-Newark *"New Books Network - New Books in Latin American Studies" interview with Joseph P. Feldman * New Books Network - New Books in Latin American Studies *"Memories before the State is a valuable contribution to memory studies, and it will be beneficial for students and practitioners with interests in museums, human rights, and recent memory politics in Peru and beyond." * NACLA Report on the Americas *“As I read, I was captivated by Feldman’s compelling and detailed narrative. He takes the reader on a journey that complicates easy assumptions about the transformative potential of memory museums by showing us how, in multiple ways, they are embedded in institutional and political realities that often perpetuate social hierarchies and colonial histories that undergird the violence being memorialized in the first place.” -- María Elena García * Journal of Anthropological Research *"Memories Before the State is an important contribution to literature on memory and the state, as well as to post-conflict memory studies in Peru and Latin America. Its insight on how memory is shaped by institutions, and perhaps more importantly how institutions are shaped by memory, should prove useful to educators and museum practitioners, as well of course to scholars, in the decades to come." -- Daniel Willis * Memory Studies *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the management and conservation of architectural heritage with the aim of increasing awareness about the value of such conservation and of saving what is left of history, which in turn rewards societies by supporting the tourism industry, generating economic return, and preserving communities’ identities.Since it has become an essential need to manage and conserve the architectural heritage in order to protect the identity and heritage of a city, there appeared a gap between the theory and its application. Therefore, a considerable amount of attention has been directed by experts in this field toward emphasizing the contribution of heritage conservation in order to inspire the development of imaginative, useful high-quality design.Table of ContentsInfluence of Language on the Built Environment: The Forgotten Vernacular of Traditional Indian Architecture.- Characterization of Earthen Building Materials in Gölcük Vernacular Houses.- Conservation of Gravitational Architecture.- Luxor Temple as a Reactivated Holy Site.

Book SynopsisThe book investigates the theme of Modernism (1920-1960 and its epigones) as an integral part of tangible and intangible cultural heritage which contains the result of a whole range of disciplines whose aim is to identify, document and preserve the memory of the past and the value of the future. Including several chapters, it contains research results relating to cultural heritage, more specifically Modernism, and current digital technologies. This makes it possible to record and evaluate the changes that both undergo: the first one, from a material point of view, the second one from the research point of view, which integrates the traditional approach with an innovative one. The purpose of the publication is to show the most recent studies on the modernist lexicon 100 years after its birth, moving through different fields of cultural heritage: from different forms of art to architecture, from design to engineering, from literature to history, representation and restoration. The book appeals to scholars and professionals who are involved in the process of understanding, reading and comprehension the transformation that the places have undergone within the period under examination.

Book SynopsisThis book is about the entanglement of heritage and resistance in different situations of conflicts, and the opportunities this entanglement may provide for social justice. This entanglement is investigated in the different contributions through theoretical and empirical analyses of heritage-led resistance to neoliberal economic development, violation of the subaltern, authorised narratives and state-invented traditions, colonialism and settler colonialism, and even dominating discourses of social movement, to name just a few. Crossing the disciplinary boundaries of heritage and resistance studies, these analyses bring new insights into several timely debates, especially those concerned with the interrelated critical questions of displacement, gentrification, exclusion, marginalization, urbicide, spatial cleansing, dehumanization, alienation, ethnic cleansing and social injustice. Following our purposeful and future-driven approach, we wish to bring new energy to the field of heritage studies through the focus on the potential of heritage and resistance for hopeful change rather than adding to the field yet another overwhelming engagement with conflict and war.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe impact of digital global media, geopolitical changes and migration demands new theorizations within memory studies. Despite the growing field of media memory studies, the impact from film and media studies has been scarce within memory studies. This unique study offers new theorizations of three crucial concepts for media memory studies: remediation, transculturality and the archive. This book takes a closer look at the media specificity of archival footage and how it is adapted, translated and appropriated. In its original approach this work reflects upon the role of documentary film images for the construction of memory. By merging film and media studies with memory studies the work offers multiple theoretical and methodological approaches for everyone interested in the heritage of audiovisual media: film and media scholars, memory scholars, historians, art historians, social scientists, librarians or archivists, curators and festival programmers alike.

Book SynopsisFor the past century and a half, extensive looting and illicit trafficking of Southeast Asia's cultural heritage have scattered art objects from the region to museums and private collections around the world. Today, however, power relations are shifting, a new awareness is growing, and new questions are emerging about the representation and ownership of Southeast Asian cultural material located in the West. This book offers a timely consideration of object restitution and related issues across Southeast Asia, bringing together a range of viewpoints, including those of museum professionals and scholars in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, as well as Europe, North America, and Australia. The contributors address legal, cultural, political and diplomatic issues involved in the restitution process, and they also look at the ways object restitution is integral to evolving narratives of national identity. Ultimately, the book's editors conclude, restitution processes can transform narratives of loss into opportunities for gain, building knowledge and reconstructing relationships across national borders.Trade ReviewA CHOICE Recommended Title: “Offering critical discussion of repatriation focused on a region heretofore not thoroughly examined, this volume will be of interest to researchers in museum studies, cultural heritage, sociology and anthropology, legal and ethical issues, decolonization, and Southeast Asian studies.”Table of Contents List of figures Foreword Acknowledgements 1.

Book SynopsisHeritage, Photography, and the Affective Past critically examines the production, consumption, and interpretation of photography across various heritage domains, from global image archives to the domestic arena of the family album. Through original ethnographic and archival research, the book sheds new light on the role photography has played in the emergence, expansion, and articulation of heritage in diverse sociocultural contexts. Drawing on wide-ranging experience across the heritage sector and two international case studies â Angkor in Cambodia and the town of Famagusta, Cyprus â the book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the role photography has played and continues to play in shaping experiences and conceptualisations of heritage. One of the core aims of the book is to problematise and potentially redirect the varied usages of photography within current practice, usages which remain woefully undertheorised, despite their often-central role in shaping heritage. Ultimately, by focusing attention on a hitherto underexamined aspect of the heritage phenomenon, namely its manifold interconnections with photography, this book provides fresh insight to the making and remaking of the past in the present, and the alternative heritages that might come into being around emergent photographic forms and approaches.Heritage, Photography, and the Affective Past uses photography as a method of enquiry as well as a tool of documentation. It will be of interest to scholars and students of heritage, photography, anthropology, museology, public archaeology, and tourism. The book will also be a valuable resource for heritage practitioners working around the globe.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Critical Heritage and Photography 1. Memory 2. Site 3. Archive 4.
