Taylor & Francis Ltd Resilience Authenticity and Digital Heritage
Book SynopsisThis book examines the authentication of authenticity in heritage tourism by using a resilient smart systems approach. It discusses the emerging trends in cultural tourism and outlines, in a detailed manner, their significance in negotiating authenticity in tourism experience.Authentication of authenticity is an evolving, less-researched field of inquiry in heritage tourism. This book advances research on this subject by exploring different authentication processes and scrutinizes their resilience in building transformative heritage tourism pathways. It offers a kaleidoscopic view of the manner authenticity has evolved over the last several decades by observing a broad spectrum of cultural expressions. The evolution and meaningfulness of negotiated authenticity is identified and discussed in the context of pre-, intra- and post-pandemic times. This book focuses on the moral and existentialist trajectories or authenticity and the notion of self-authentication. It pTable of Contents1. Introduction 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Scientific Investigation of Copies Fakes and
Book SynopsisThe faking and forgery of works of art and antiquities is probably now more extensive than ever before. The frauds are aided by new technologies, from ink jet printers to epoxy resins, and driven by the astronomic prices realised on the global market. This book aims to provide a comprehensive survey of the subject over a wide range of materials, emphasising how the fakes and forgeries are produced and how they may be detected by technical and scientific examination. The subject is exemplified by numerous case studies, some turning out not to be as conclusive as is sometimes believed. The book is aimed at those likely to have a serious interest in these investigations, be they curator, collector, conservator or scientist. Paul Craddock has recently retired from the Department of Conservation, Documentation and Science at the British Museum, where he was a materials scientist.Table of ContentsForeword;Introduction; Examination: Microscopy, Radiography; Examination: Physical analytical techniques applied to authenticity;Methods of copying in 3 dimensions:Appropriate technology, Moulding,Pointing & Electroforming;Dating 1:Radiocarbon;Dating 2: TL and Dendrochronology; Metals: Compositional;Metals: Metalworking and coins;Ceramics and Faience;Glass and Enamels;Stone and Sculpture;Fine Art:Painting;Copying in 2 dimensions:Printing.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical Approaches to Heritage for Development
Book SynopsisThis book investigates the relationship between heritage and development from the global visions articulated by UNESCO and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to local activism, livelihood innovations and political strategies employed in diverse countries of the Global South. In recent years, as culturally informed approaches to international development have become increasingly important, engaging with heritage has been seen as a way to draw on practices and meanings from the past to help build future development. This book gathers researchers and practitioners from across disciplines to address important themes such as health, the environment, sustainability, peace, security, tourism and economic growth. In doing so, the book asks us to consider whose past and whose future is ultimately at stake in efforts to use heritage for development. Key topics explored include histories and legacies of colonialism and calls for decolonisation, and related questions of expertise, Trade Review"This innovative volume, which draws on a range of perspectives and case studies, demonstrates the synergy of bringing together heritage issues and development studies. The book reveals the myriad ways heritage and development are entangled and challenges the hegemonic practices and assumptions prevalent in each field. The concept of heritage is used to explore conceptualisations and experiences of ‘progress’ to challenge colonial practices in the Global South. I recommend this book to development and heritage studies scholars and practitioners interested in understanding how social and economic change is managed through appeals to the past that envisage productive and equitable futures."Laurajane Smith, Director, Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies, the Australian National University, CanberraTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introducing Heritage for Development: Practising the Past in the Pursuit of ‘Progress’ Charlotte Cross and John Giblin Part 1: Heritage, Economic Development and Livelihoods Chapter 2: World Heritage and Sustainable Development: Purpose, Practice and Possibilities Ioanna Katapidi and Mike Robinson Chapter 3: Leveraging Heritage, Tourism and Partnerships in Development Pham Thi Thanh Huong and Robyn Bushell Chapter 4: Intangible Cultural Heritage, Marketing and Intellectual Property for Sustainable Livelihoods: The Case of HIPAMS Charlotte Waelde, Diego Rinallo, Ananya Bhattacharya, Harriet Deacon, Anindita Patra, Rajat Nath, June Taboroff and Benedetta Ubertazzi Part 2: Heritage, Environment, and Sustainable Development Chapter 5: Heritage in Urban Development: Materialising Claims to Urban Space in Doha and Kingston Clare Melhuish Chapter 6: Food Heritage for Sustainable Futures: Women’s Cultures and Knowledge as Hidden Pillars of Alternative Foodways Sandip Hazareesingh Chapter 7: Learning from the Deep-Past: Critical Perspectives on Biocultural Heritages for Well-Tempered Futures Paul J.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Viking Heritage and History in Europe
Book SynopsisViking Heritage and History in Europe presents new research and perspectives on the use of the Vikings in public history, especially in relation to museums, re-creation, and re-enactment in a European context.Taking a critical heritage approach, the volume provides new insights into the re-creation of history, imagining the past, interpretation, ambivalence of authenticity, authority of History, remembrance and memory, medievalism, and public history. Highlighting the complexity of the field of public history today, the fourteen chapters all engage with questions of historical authenticity and authority. The volume also critically examines the public's reception, engagement with, and interpretation of the Viking Age and the concepts of who these individuals were. Each chapter illuminates an aspect of these themes in relation to museums, leisure activities, politics, tourism, re-enactment, and popular culture all from the vantage point of Viking cultural herit

Taylor & Francis Ltd Museums Modernity and Conflict
Book SynopsisMuseums, Modernity and Conflict examines the history of the relationship between museums, collections and war, revealing how museums have responded to and been shaped by war and conflicts of various sorts. Written by a mixture of museum professionals and academics and ranging across Europe, North America and the Middle East, this book examines the many ways in which museums were affected by major conflicts such as the World Wars, considers how and why they attempted to contribute to the war effort, analyses how wartime collecting shaped the nature of the objects held by a variety of museums, and demonstrates how museums of war and of the military came into existence during this period. Closely focused around conflicts which had the most wide-ranging impact on museums, this collection includes reflections on museums such as the Louvre, the Stedelijk in the Netherlands, the Canadian War Museum and the State Art Collections Dresden.Museums, Modernity anTable of ContentsIntroduction: Museums and War Kate HillPart I: Collecting and Conflict1.Salvage and Speculation: The London Art Market After the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71)’Thomas Stammers2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Museum Representations of Chinese Diasporas
Book SynopsisMuseum Representations of Chinese Diasporas is the first book to analyse the recent upsurge in museums on Chinese diasporas in China. Examining heritage-making beyond the nation state, the book provides a much-needed, critical examination of China's engagement with its diasporic communities. Drawing on fieldwork in more than ten museums, as well as interviews with museum practitioners and archival study, Wang offers a timely analysis of the complex ways in which Chinese diasporas are represented in the museum space of China, the ancestral homeland. Arguing that diasporic heritage is highly ambivalent and introducing a diasporic perspective to the study of cultural heritage, this book opens up a new avenue of inquiry into the study and management of cultural heritage in China and beyond. Most importantly, perhaps, Wang sheds new light on the dynamic between China and Chinese diasporas through the lens of the museum.Museum Representations of ChiTrade Review"Museums of diaspora are increasingly present in countries of migrant settlement overseas, but also in sending or ancestral places. It is the latter sort that this excellent, deeply original, clearly written, and richly researched interdisciplinary study describes and analyses, with China and its officially sponsored and funded "Overseas Chinese museums" as its focus. Its author … brings together his research into a well organised and exhaustive volume … As he rightly points out … it is urgently necessary to integrate museum studies and migration history, and to establish a new focus away from migrants as an abstracted category and towards the material environment in which they move and on which they act." Gregor Benton, The China Quarterly"Since the 1980s, ‘Oversea Chinese museums’ have been rapidly developing around China. Museum Representations of Chinese Diasporas is the first book dedicated to this social, political, and cultural phenomenon … Wang calls for further cross-disciplinary research on the three interrelated fields of diasporas, museums, and cultural heritage in China. The cross-fertilization between the three fields is a major contribution of the book. Wang provides a rich in-depth analysis, filling a lacuna in museum, migration, and heritage studies in China." Yujie Zhu, The China Journal"Museum Representations of Chinese Diasporas persuasively interrogates what huaqiaowenwu (overseas Chinese heritage) is and how it is understood in China … Crucially, the book complicates the static and single dimensional portrayal of museums by shedding light on the multifarious interpretations of the past that the museum founders and buildings themselves engage in … more interdisciplinary scholarship, such as Wang’s, that is mutually constitutive of the migrant and the material world of migration is needed internationally to debunk the common nationalist emphasis associated with emigration histories and migrant heritage … a useful reference that has implications both for critical heritage studies in China and countries with histories of emigration outside China."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Tourism Dynamics in Everyday Places
Book SynopsisThis title offers a dynamic understanding of tourism, usually defined in terms of clearly circumscribed places and temporalities, to grasp its changing spatial patterns.The first part looks at the befores everyday places such as daily markets, flea markets, urban neighbourhoods, that have captured the tourists' interest and have progressively experienced new development in their ordinary patterns. The second part investigates the afters former tourist spaces moving beyond the tourism sphere and becoming places of everyday life, study, or work. Chapters explore what this means for local societies and examine this contemporary phenomenon of former tourist attractions becoming ordinary and everyday, and of ordinary places beginning to take on a tourist dimension. The hybridisation of tourist practices and ordinary practices is also explored through a range of international case studies and examples written by highly regarded and interdisciplinary academics.This ediTable of ContentsIntroduction: New urban tourists: in search of the life more ordinary 1.
