This book presents critical studies of modern reconfigurations of
conceptions of the past, of the 'classical', and of national
heritage. Its scope is global (China, India, Egypt, Iran, Judaism,
the Greco-Roman world) and inter-disciplinary (textual philology,
history of art and architecture, philosophy, gardening). Its
emphasis is on the complexity of the modernization process and of
reactions to it: ideas and technologies travelled from India to
Iran and from Japan to China, while reactions show tensions between
museumization and the recreation of 'presence'. It challenges
readers to rethink the assumptions of the disciplines in which they
were trained
