The Making of Heritage (eBook, ePUB)

Seduction and Disenchantment
Redaktion: Del Marmol, Camila; Chalcraft, Jasper; Morell, Marc

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the process of heritage making and its relation to the production of touristic places, examining several case studies around the world. Most existing literature on heritage and tourism centers either on its managerial aspects, the tourist experience, or issues related to inequality and identity politics. This volume instead establishes theoretical links between analyses of heritage and the production and reproduction of places in the context of the global tourist trade. The approach adopted here is to explore the production of heritage as a complex process shaped by local and global discourses that can have a deep impact on several policies and legislations. The chapters in this book stress the need for identifying the intrinsic political implications of these processes, relocating their study in political, economic and social settings.
