This book presents innovative ethnographic perspectives on the
intersections between art, anthropology, and contested cultural
heritage, drawing on research from the interdisciplinary TRACES
project (funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 program). The case studies
in this volume critically assess how and in which arrangements
artistic/aesthetic methods and creative everyday practices
contribute to strengthening communities both culturally and
economically. They also explore the extent to which these methods
emphasize minority voices and ultimately set in motion a process of
reflexive Europeanisation from below which unfolds within Europe
and beyond its borders. At the heart of the book is the development
of a new way of transmitting contentious cultural heritage, which
responds to the present situation in Europe of unstable political
conditions and a sense of Europe in crisis. With chapters looking
at difficult art exhibitions on colonialism, death masks, Holocaust
memorials, and skull collections, the contributors articulate a
response to the crisis in current economic-political conditions in
Europe and advances brand new theoretical groundwork on the
configuration of a renewed European identity.
