Heritage, Photography, and the Affective Past critically examines
the production, consumption, and interpretation of photography
across various heritage domains, from global image archives to the
domestic arena of the family album. Through original ethnographic
and archival research, the book sheds new light on the role
photography has played in the emergence, expansion, and
articulation of heritage in diverse sociocultural contexts. Drawing
on wide-ranging experience across the heritage sector and two
international case studies - Angkor in Cambodia and the town of
Famagusta, Cyprus - the book makes a major contribution to our
understanding of the role photography has played and continues to
play in shaping experiences and conceptualisations of heritage. One
of the core aims of the book is to problematise and potentially
redirect the varied usages of photography within current practice,
usages which remain woefully undertheorised, despite their
often-central role in shaping heritage. Ultimately, by focusing
attention on a hitherto underexamined aspect of the heritage
phenomenon, namely its manifold interconnections with photography,
this book provides fresh insight to the making and remaking of the
past in the present, and the alternative heritages that might come
into being around emergent photographic forms and approaches.
Heritage, Photography, and the Affective Past uses photography as a
method of enquiry as well as a tool of documentation. It will be of
interest to scholars and students of heritage, photography,
anthropology, museology, public archaeology, and tourism. The book
will also be a valuable resource for heritage practitioners working
around the globe.
