POLITICS OF SCALE. New Directions in Critical Heritage Studies (Berghahn Books)
05:48 - By Maria Lois - Publications
Critical Heritage Studies is a new and fast-growing interdisciplinary field of study seeking to explore power relations involved in the production and meaning-making of cultural heritage. Politics of Scale offers a global, multi- and interdisciplinary point of view to the scaled nature of heritage, and provides a theoretical discussion on scale as a social construct and a method in Critical Heritage Studies. The international contributors provide examples and debates from a range of diverse countries, discuss how heritage and scale interact in current processes of heritage meaning-making, and explore heritage-scale relationship as a domain of politics.
Edited by Tuuli Lähdesmäki, Yujie Zhu and Suzie Thomas, the book is a contribution to the discussion of spatial perspectives to the analysis of heritage-making processes. All the info here: https://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/LahdesmakiPolitics
