This volume examines evolving trends and transnational perspectives
on public interpretation of archaeological and cultural heritage,
as well as levels of communication, from local to regional,
national and international. It is presented in the context of the
evolution of cultural heritage studies from the 20th century
“expert approach” to the 21st century “people-centered
approach,” with public participation and community involvement at
all phases of the decision-making process. Our premise is not
just about bringing in community members to be partners in decision
making processes; some projects are being initiated by the
community--not the heritage experts. In some instances, community
members are central in initiating and bringing about change rather
than the archaeologists or heritage specialists. In several cases
in the book, descendants take the lead in changing heritage
narratives. The book addresses several central questions: Do these
actions represent new emphases, or more fundamental pedagogical
shifts, in interpretation? Are they resulting in more effective
interpretation in facilitating emotional and intellectual
connections and meanings for audiences? Are they revealing silenced
histories? Can they contribute to, or help mediate, dialogues among
a diversity of cultures? Can they be shared experiences as examples
of good practice at national and international levels? What are the
interpretation and presentation challenges for the future? Cultural
heritage, as an expression of a diversity of cultures, can be an
important mediator between pasts and futures. In the past, people
in power from the dominant ethnic, racial, socio-economic, gender,
and religious groups determined the heritage message. Minorities
were often silenced; their participation in the building and growth
of a city, county, or nation’s history was overlooked. New
philosophical/methodological trends in public interpretation are
reshaping the messages delivered at archaeological/cultural
heritage sites worldwide. The role of the experts, as well as the
participatory engagement of audiences and stakeholders are being
redefined and reassessed. This book explores these
processes, their results and effects on the future.
