Produktbeschreibung

Heritage and its economies are driven by affective politics and consolidated through emotions such as pride, awe, joy and pain. This book focuses for the first time on relating heritage with the politics of affect. It argues that our engagements with heritage are almost entirely figured through the politics of affective registers. It questions how researchers working in the field of heritage might begin to discover and describe affective experiences, especially those shaped and expressed in moments that are personal and shared. It explores theoretical advances that enable heritage to be released from conventional understandings of both heritage-as-objects and objects-as-representations.
