The performance of heritage takes place in prestigious institutions
such as museums and archives, in officially sanctioned spaces such
as jubilees and public monuments, but also in more mundane,
ephemeral and banal cultural practices, such as naming of
phenomena, viewing exhibitions or walking in the countryside. This
volume examines the performance of Nordic heritage and the shaping
of the very idea of Norden in diverse contexts in North America,
the Baltic and the Nordic countries and examines the importance of
these places as sites for creating and preserving cultural
heritage. Offering rich perspectives on a part of Europe which has
not been the centre of discussion in the Anglophone world, this
volume will be of value to a wide readership, including cultural
historians, museum practitioners, policy-makers and scholars of
heritage, ethnology and folkloristics.
