Yet the appeal of cultural heritage often rests on its denial of being a fabrication, its promise to provide an essential ground to social-cultural identities. Taking this paradoxical feature as a point of departure, and anchoring the discussion to two heuristic concepts—the \"politics of authentication\" and \"aesthetics of persuasion\"—the chapters herein explore how this tension is central to the dynamics of heritage formation worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is an extensive and influential collection that whilst reviewing I took with me to the field, twice!

And how is heritage, which is always a social construct, made real through aesthetics of persuasion and politics of authenticity? By addressing these questions in richly varied ethnographic case studies, this volume not only makes a significant contribution to an issue that is of wider interest to the social sciences, it also makes heritage studies as a field highly relevant to the social sciences.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Ferdinand de Jong\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of East Anglia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heritage Dynamics: Politics of Authentication, Aesthetics of Persuasion and the Cultural Production of the Real\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMattijs van de Port \u0026amp; Birgit Meyer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u2028Aesthetics as Form and Force: Notes on the Shaping of Pataxó Indian Bodies\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAndré Werneck de Andrade Bakker\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Intangible Heritage, Tangible Controversies: The \u003cem\u003eBaiana\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eAcarajé\u003c\/em\u003e as Boundary Objects in Contemporary Brazil\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBruno Reinhardt\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Swinging between the Material and the Immaterial: Brazilian Cultural Politics and the Authentication of Afro-Brazilian Heritage\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMaria Paula Fernandes Adinolfi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Reporting the Past': News History and the Formation of the \u003cem\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e Heritage Project\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eDuane Jethro\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Scaffolding Heritage: Transient Architectures and Temporalizing Formations in Luanda\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRuy Llera Blanes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Corpo-Reality TV: Media, Body, and the Authentication of ‘African Heritage’\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMarleen de Witte\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Heated Discussions Are Necessary.
