Heritage on the Loose
No. 137 JANUARY 2024
What is cultural heritage? What were the stages in the development of this concept and how was it shaped over time by the main legislation and institutions? What are their uses, potential and political and economic paradoxes? Did you know that most of the tangible heritage on the UNESCO World List is located in the northern hemisphere?
This book proposes a journey behind the scenes and stages of cultural heritage, through different places in the world, in the past and in the present. A Grand Tour that aims to help us to find our role and play a more active part in the great and small contemporary reenactments of heritage.
