This book investigates the selection process of heritagisation to
understand what specific pasts are being selected or rejected for
representation, who is selecting them, how and to whom they are
being represented and why they are being presented, or dismissed,
in the ways that they are. Some aspects of our pasts are venerated
and memorialised for a variety of reasons, while others are
forgotten or even hidden. This volume, thus, provides examples from
across a spectrum. Some phenomena are well-suited to
heritagisation, such as animals memorialised for their bravery,
long past agricultural techniques and implements, and impressive
landscapes. However, this book also deals with products (e.g.
tobacco), historical periods (e.g. the Third Reich) and scientific
techniques (e.g. genetic modification) with negative connotations
that extend beyond their heritage attributes. This volume considers
how the actors in the heritage industry admit, valorise, prioritise
and rationalise historic resources as heritage products. These
findings provide practical examples of how heritage institutions
privilege, frame and/or exclude a wide range of heritage items.
They also contrast the invocations of sectional (local, national or
class based) and more cosmopolitan heritages and consider the
extent to which innovation and change are or can be acknowledged
within the heritage discourse.
