Description

Critical Heritage Studies is a new and fast-growing interdisciplinary field of study seeking to explore power relations involved in the production and meaning-making of cultural heritage. Politics of Scale offers a global, multi- and interdisciplinary point of view to the scaled nature of heritage, and provides a theoretical discussion on scale as a social construct and a method in Critical Heritage Studies. The international contributors provide examples and debates from a range of diverse countries, discuss how heritage and scale interact in current processes of heritage meaning-making, and explore heritage-scale relationship as a domain of politics.

Tuuli Lähdesmäki is Associate Professor of Art History at the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies, University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Lähdesmäki specializes in heritage, culture, and identity politics particularly in the context of the European Union.

Suzie Thomas is Professor of Heritage Studies at the University of Antwerp, Belgium.
