What is re-enactment and how does it relate to heritage?
Re-enactments are a ubiquitous part of popular and memory culture
and are of growing importance to heritage studies. As concept and
practice, re-enactments encompass a wide range of forms: from the
annual 'Viking Moot' festival in Denmark drawing thousands of
participants and spectators, to the (re)staged war photography of
An-My Le, to the Titanic Memorial Cruise commemorating the
centennial of the ill-fated voyage, to the symbolic retracing of
the Berlin Wall across the city on 9 November 2014 to mark the 25th
anniversary of its toppling. Re-enactments involve the sensuousness
of bodily experience and engagement, the exhilarating yet
precarious combination of imagination with 'historical fact',
in-the-moment negotiations between and within temporalities, and
the compelling drive to re-make, or re-presence, the past. As such,
re-enactments present a number of challenges to traditional
understandings of heritage, including taken-for-granted assumptions
regarding fixity, conservation, originality, ownership and
authenticity. Using a variety of international, cross-disciplinary
case studies, this volume explores re-enactment as practice,
problem, and/or potential, in order to widen the scope of heritage
thinking and analysis toward impermanence, performance, flux,
innovation and creativity. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the International Journal of Heritage Studies.
