  Time and the Field

  Dalsgaard, S. & Nielsen, M. (eds)

  Despite numerous conceptual facelifts, definitions and demarcations of ‘the field’ have remained fundamentally anchored in tropes of spatiality with the association between field and fieldworker characterized by distances in space. This collection serves a fresh invitation to a temporally oriented ethnography by radically rethinking the notion of the field in terms of time rather than space.

  National Narratives, Monument Preservation and Architectural Work in the Nineteenth Century

  Borders of Belonging

  Experiencing History, War and Nation at a Danish Heritage Site

  Daugbjerg, M.

  This book explores how such struggles unfold in practice at a highly symbolic battlefield site in the Danish/German borderland. Comprised of an ethnography of two profoundly different institutions – a conventional museum and an experience-based heritage center – it analyses the ways in which staff and visitors interfere with, relate to, and literally “make sense” of the war heritage and its national connotations. Borders of Belonging offers a comparative, in-depth analysis of the practices and negotiations through which history is made and manifested at two houses devoted to the interpretation of one event: the decisive battle of the 1864 war in which Otto von Bismarck, on his way to uniting the new German Empire, led the Prussian army to victory over the Danish.
