How Heritage Shapes Chinese Civilisation - Continuity in Change: Yujie Zhu How Heritage Shapes Chinese Civilisation - Continuity in Change
Yujie Zhu
R1,094 Discovery Miles 10 940 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book considers the role of cultural heritage and its efficacies in Chinese civilisation. It utilises a novel approach in viewing heritage as a long-term process that serves as a foundation for political hierarchies and orthodoxy while also contributing to cultural exchange through knowledge transmission. By asking the question ‘what does heritage do’, this book uses the lenses of history and anthropology to consider the role of heritage in civilisation. Using examples from Imperial China, it examines social patterns in Chinese uses and attitudes towards the past over long periods of time. Founded in cross-disciplinary research, it examines heritage efficacies and patterns across four pathways – destruction, collection, transmission and creation. Each of these pathways explore the different roles heritage plays in continuing and transforming Chinese civilisation through practices such as antiquarianism, collecting, craftsmanship, and knowledge transmission. These pathways demonstrate the multiple forms and power centres within various social groups, including marginalised or indigenous communities, who each interpret and use heritage to shape the relationship between state and society differently. How Heritage Shapes Chinese Civilisation will be beneficial to researchers and postgraduate students in Heritage Studies, Museum Studies, Anthropology and History. It offers novel points of view and critical ideas that will be useful to undergraduate and graduate students of Tourism, Cultural and Social Geography, and East Asian History and Chinese Studies.

Heritage Politics in China - The Power of the Past (Paperback): Yujie Zhu, Christina Maags Heritage Politics in China - The Power of the Past (Paperback)
Yujie Zhu, Christina Maags
R1,205 Discovery Miles 12 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Heritage Politics in China: The Power of the Past studies the impact of heritage policies and discourses on the Chinese state and Chinese society. It sheds light on the way Chinese heritage policies have transformed the narratives and cultural practices of the past to serve the interests of the present. As well as reinforcing a collective social identity, heritage in China has served as an instrument of governance and regulation at home and a tool to generate soft power abroad. Drawing on a critical analysis of heritage policies and laws, empirical case studies and interviews with policymakers, practitioners, and local communities, the authors off er a comprehensive perspective on the role that cultural heritage plays in Chinese politics and policy. They argue that heritage-making appropriates international, national, and local values, thereby transforming it into a public good suitable for commercial exploitation. By framing heritage as a site of cooperation, contestation, and negotiation, this book contributes to our understanding of the complex nature of heritage in the rapidly shifting landscape of contemporary China. Heritage Politics in China: The Power of the Past is essential reading for academics, researchers and students in the fi elds of heritage studies, cultural studies, Asian studies, anthropology, tourism and politics.

Heritage and Religion in East Asia (Paperback): Shuli Wang, Michael Rowlands, Yujie Zhu Heritage and Religion in East Asia (Paperback)
Shuli Wang, Michael Rowlands, Yujie Zhu
R1,209 Discovery Miles 12 090 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Heritage and Religion in East Asia examines how religious heritage, in a mobile way, plays across national boundaries in East Asia and, in doing so, the book provides new theoretical insights into the articulation of heritage and religion. Drawing on primary, comparative research carried out in four East Asian countries, much of which was undertaken by East Asian scholars, the book shows how the inscription of religious items as "Heritage" has stimulated cross-border interactions among religious practitioners and boosted tourism along modern pilgrimage routes. Considering how these forces encourage cross-border links in heritage practices and religious movements in China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, the volume also questions what role heritage plays in a region where Buddhism, Taoism, and other various folk religious practices are dominant. Arguing that it is diversity and vibrancy that makes religious discourse in East Asia unique, the contributors explore how this particularity both energizes and is empowered by heritage practices in East Asia. Heritage and Religion in East Asia enriches understanding of the impact of heritage and religious culture in modern society and will be of interest to academics and students working in heritage studies, anthropology, religion, and East Asian studies.

Heritage Tourism - From Problems to Possibilities (Paperback): Yujie Zhu Heritage Tourism - From Problems to Possibilities (Paperback)
Yujie Zhu
R580 Discovery Miles 5 800 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

As one of the world's fastest growing industries, heritage tourism is surrounded by political and ethical issues. This research explores the social and political effects and implications of heritage tourism through several pertinent topics. It examines the hegemonic power of heritage tourism and its consequences, the spectre of nationalism and colonialism in heritage-making, particularly for minorities and indigenous peoples, and the paradox of heritage tourism's role in combating these issues. Drawing from global cases, the study addresses a range of approaches and challenges of empowerment within the context of heritage tourism, including cultural landscapes, intangible heritage and eco-museums. The research argues that heritage tourism has the potential to develop as a form of co-production. It can be used to create a mechanism for community-centred governance that integrates recognition and interpretation and promotes dialogue, equity and diversity.
