Heritopia

Jes Wienberg

No reviews yet Write a Review
Heritopia creatively investigates the meaning of the past in the present, using Abu Simbel and other World Heritage sites as points of departure. It paves the way for a new discourse about pastness, heritage and society. In doing so, it overcomes the division between critical heritage inquiry and the world of heritage management.

Herbitopia investigates the meanings of the past in the present, focusing on Abu Simbel in Egypt and other World Heritage sites. 

This book explores and resolves a number of paradoxes: the past is impossible to preserve for eternity, all preservation implies change, preservation of one site normally means destruction of others, threats are important in the creation of heritage, but at the same time heritage may become a thread and threats can become heritage. This will appeal to students and professionals in heritage studies and related subjects such as archaeology, history, ethnology and museology.
