Transformative Heritage Economies: Reimagining Cultural Value, Exchange and Inheritance

Research output: A Conference proceeding or a Chapter in Book › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

How is the concept of economy relevant to contemporary heritage practices? This opening chapter to Alternative Economies of Heritage considers how economy has long infiltrated heritage imaginaries and practices, despite professional efforts to distinguish its aims from market-driven thinking. It argues that opening-up conversations about cultural inheritance to multi-disciplinary and multi-modal forms of inquiry offers a place for collaborative reimagining of the economy writ large.
