内容説明

The concept of heritage relates to the ways in which contemporary society uses the past as a social, political or economic resource. However, heritage is open to interpretation and its value may be perceived from differing perspectives - often reflecting divisions in society. Moreover, the schism between the cultural and economic uses of heritage also gives rise to potential conflicts of interest. Examining these issues in depth, this book is the first sustained attempt to integrate the study of heritage into contemporary human geography. It is structured around three themes: the diversity of use and consumption of heritage as a multi-sold cultural and economic resource; the conflicts and tensions arising from this multiplicity of uses, producers and consumers; and the relationship between heritage and identity at a variety of scales.

内容説明

The widespread exploitation of natural landscapes and historical artefacts as tourism products has given rise to substantial debate. This work provides a synthesis of modern research on the nature, production, consumption and uses of heritage, discussing the plurality of approaches to the subject, from mainstream to radical. It examines the tensions that arise from the dichotomy between heritage as a capitalist commodity and heritage as a cultural and social resource. This dichotomy is at the core of this book, as is the key question of who decides what is heritage and the messages that it imparts to society.
