The 'visual' has long played a crucial role in forming experiences,
associations, expectations and understandings of heritage. Images
convey meaning within a range of practices, including tourism,
identity construction, the popularization of the past through a
variety of media, and the memorialization of events. However,
despite the central role of 'the visual' in these contexts, it has
been largely neglected in heritage literature. This edited
collection is the first to explore the production, use and
consumption of visual imagery as an integral part of heritage.
Drawing on case studies from around the world, it provides a
multidisciplinary analysis of heritage representations, combining
complex understandings of the 'visual' from a wide range of
disciplines, including heritage studies, sociology and cultural
studies perspectives. In doing so, the book provides a
comprehensive overview of the theoretical and methodological tools
necessary for understanding visual imagery within its cultural
context.
