The book focuses on international cultural relations dealing with
cultural heritage in terms of heritage diplomacy. The contributors
discuss the potentials and limitations of heritage diplomacy and
how it could be approached in theory, policy, and praxis. Cultural
heritage is an essential element in transmitting values,
establishing narratives of historical and contemporary
connectivity, and creating subjective and collective identities and
a feeling of belonging. During the past decade, the potential of
cultural heritage for state foreign policy and in international
heritage governance has attracted increasing interest among
heritage scholars. This potential, however, remains
under-researched in the broader spectrum of international cultural
relations. This volume aims to critically explore the previous
research on heritage diplomacy, develop its theoretical basis and
scope, and thereby extend the discussion to new topics and themes.
The articles extend the discussion of cultural heritage from its
role in ‘soft power’ and foreign policy to a dialogic approach
within international cultural relations. Such an approach
deconstructs existing hierarchies in domestic and international
power relations and understands cultural heritage as a contact zone
that fosters people-to-people connectivity and cooperation based on
trust. Heritage Diplomacy: Discourses, Imaginaries and Practices of
Heritage and Power will appeal to upper-level students,
researchers, and academics interested in Heritage Studies, Cultural
Studies, Anthropology, International Relations, and Policy Studies.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special
issue of The International Journal of Cultural Policy.
This book provides novel and critical insights into the complex
relationship between politics of memory and oblivion in European
countries in the 20th and early 21st centuries as well as the
cultural, political and institutional backgrounds against which
they function. It explores the uses of the past in terms of a
conscious choice to either reactivate or overlook memories as
selective reference points for the promotion and legitimation of
contemporary political goals. The chapters of this volume bring
together theoretical discussions on the interrelationship between
remembrance and purposeful oblivion as active processes that serve
particular interests and ideologies in the present. By addressing
the diverse meanings given to practices of memory, the
contributions offer new perspectives on how institutions shape
cultural memory, power relations and identity projects. Politics of
Memory and Oblivion in the European Context: Critical Perspectives
will be of interest to scholars and graduate students from the
fields of memory studies, heritage studies, cultural studies,
history, and political science who engage with the legacies of
violent and traumatic pasts, post-colonial contexts, societal
transition and reconciliation. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal, European
Politics and Society.
