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.

Expeditionary Anthropology
Teamwork, Travel and the ''Science of Man''
Thomas, M. & Harris, A. (eds)
Expeditions played a major role in the development of anthropology, but their significance has been eclipsed by the discipline’s valorization of the lone observer. This rich assessment of cross-cultural research and team-based travel is part of a new historical turn that regards expeditions as cultural formations, and provides new and compelling perspectives on the histories of anthropology and empire.

Tourism, Magic and Modernity
Cultivating the Human Garden
Picard, D.
“...an excellent and engaging commentary on the tourism industry, postcolonial societies and environmental governance. Its strength lies in the nuance and intricacy of its portrayals of social life and the way that it opens up a difficult yet much needed theoretical space in which to contemplate issues such as how we should investigate tourist subjectivity, how collective imaginaries are formed and sustained, and how dynamics of affect and desire constitute tourism as a social practice. Its readability and the vividness of characterisations in Picard’s accounts of his ethnographic observations will make the book an accessible and appealing text to students of tourism studies and social anthropology, and to these fields it makes a notable contribution.” · Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change
