Heritage, History and Memory

Heritage, History and Memory

This cluster examines how people, cultural practices and events are remembered, represented and memorialized (or forgotten) both cross-culturally and across time and space.

 

Researchers investigate the oftentimes contested meanings of heritage-making practices (e.g., museums, archaeological heritage sites, modern nationalist spectacles), and how particular sociocultural identities, such as nationalism, ethnicity, gender and race, among others, are produced and destabilized.
