Omschrijving
Considerations of the effect of trauma on heritage sites.
[T]his remains a book which should be read by those with an interest in the social dimension of disasters, in how society responds in different ways to trauma and loss and how heritage can be repossessed, rebuilt and re-presented in novel ways, implicitly as part of a recovery process. The chapters present contemporary debates and practices based on equally contemporary cases and, given its eclectic content, all readers will find much of interest in the content.
Flicking through the index of this volume indicates just how perceptively compiled and thorough an understanding the editors have of it. We see the anticipated indexical content such as the names of places, animals and types of disasters but there are also terms which are explicitly cognisant of the breadth of intangibility involved in heritage interpretation.Displaced heritage is after all intangible and often needs to be unearthed from an assortment of different dimensions.
