E-book Cultural Heritage Preservation : The Past, the Present and the Future
Heritage comes in many shapes—in tangible forms such as sites, buildings, landscapes, or as intangibles, like memories, emotions, values and customs—as does the use of heritage, ranging from the purpose of building nations to marketing places. Heritage usually represents a phenomenon within a traditional historical discourse but have lately, more and more, come to take in peripheral appearances; often emanating from groups at the fringes of that traditional discourse as well. The use of heritage occurs in different arenas and takes on significance as a vehicle for political, cultural and entrepreneurial purposes, as well as educational and emancipator, to name just a few. How to interpret heritage in order to understand its meaning to different groups is therefore a very important task. This anthology describes heritage preservation, development and management from different theoretical views and disciplines. It integrates perspectives from history, human geography, arcaeology, social anthropology and heritage conservation. The texts revolve around different dimension of culture and heritage via examples from varying contexts and locations.
