Contrary to popular perceptions, cultural heritage is not given,
but constantly in the making: a construction subject to dynamic
processes of (re)inventing culture within particular social
formations and bound to particular forms of mediation. 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.
