The Heritage Turn in China: The Reinvention, Dissemination and
Consumption of Heritage focuses on heritage discourse and practice
in China today as it has evolved from the 'heritage turn' that can
be dated to the 1990s. Using a variety of disciplinary approaches
to regionally and topically diverse case studies, the contributors
to this edited volume show how particular versions of the past are
selected, (re)invented, disseminated and consumed for contemporary
purposes. These studies explore how the Chinese state utilises
heritage not only for tourism, entertainment, educational and
commercial purposes, but also as part of broader political
strategies on both the national and international stage. Together,
they argue that the Chinese state deploys modes of heritage
governance to construct new modernities while strengthening
collective national identity in support of both its political
legitimacy and its claim to status as an international superpower.
The authors also consider ways in which state management of
heritage is contested by some stakeholders whose embrace of
heritage has a different purpose and meaning.
