Bence Ament-Kovács – Ágnes Eitler: Heritage in the Making: Regimes and Canons, Sites ans Actors |
|
Abstract: The making of heritage is a complex contemporary process that permeates society from the normative contexts of the global as well as national level to local communities. It enters extremely various sites, since it is both part of rural and urban life-worlds, and it is present in the institutional spaces of museums. Cultural elements that have been extracted from their former contexts and transformed into heritage are no less diverse. The symbolic valorization effects on cultural phenomena of quite different historical periods, depending on the regional and local contexts of heritage-making. The prestige (acceptance or rejection) and meanings of the legacy of certain periods, the relationship to tradition, as well as the ways in which ‘authenticity’ are interpreted are products of a constant re-defining process led by diverse social actors such as members of local communities, cultural brokers, and experts. These positions often represent intertwining roles (researcher, expert, mediator, active or passive local actors), that are difficult to distinguish from one another in the various situations in which heritage-making can be researched empirically |
