Heritage's revival as a respected academic subject has, in part,
resulted from an increased awareness and understanding of
indigenous rights and non-Western philosophies and practices, and a
growing respect for the intangible. Heritage has, thus far, focused
on management, tourism and the traditionally 'heritage-minded'
disciplines, such as archaeology, geography, and social and
cultural theory. Widening the scope of international heritage
studies, A Museum Studies Approach to Heritage explores heritage
through new areas of knowledge, including emotion and affect, the
politics of dissent, migration, and intercultural and participatory
dimensions of heritage. Drawing on a range of disciplines and the
best from established sources, the book includes writing not
typically recognised as 'heritage', but which, nevertheless, makes
a valuable contribution to the debate about what heritage is, what
it can do, and how it works and for whom. Including heritage
perspectives from beyond the professional sphere, the book serves
as a reminder that heritage is not just an academic concern, but a
deeply felt and keenly valued public and private practice. This
blending of traditional topics and emerging trends, established
theory and concepts from other disciplines offers readers
international views of the past and future of this growing field. A
Museum Studies Approach to Heritage offers a wider, more current
and more inclusive overview of issues and practices in heritage and
its intersection with museums. As such, the book will be essential
reading for postgraduate students of heritage and museum studies.
It will also be of great interest to academics, practitioners and
anyone else who is interested in how we conceptualise and use the
past.
