Drawing on data gathered from museums, heritage sites, news
articles, political speeches, manifestos, and through digital media
such as Twitter, Farrell-Banks demonstrates how a connection with a
shared past can move people emotionally and give them the
confidence to engage in political action. The book considers how
heritage and the past moves in time and space, examining how it
shapes political beliefs and action in the present. The work is a
timely intervention, calling attention to the political
responsibilities that come with heritage work, when these same
languages of heritage are adopted to promote a politics of
division. Introducing the concept of the 'moving moment', a
framework by which to research and understand uses of the past, the
book demonstrates how the past becomes a potent political tool.
Combining critical heritage studies, critical discourse, memory
studies and political theory, the book demonstrates new approaches
to interdisciplinary studies within heritage. Affect and Belonging
in Political Uses of the Past will thus be essential reading for
academics and students engaged in the study of heritage, memory,
politics, history and media.
