Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

“These essays express the multiple meanings that are made through popular culture, and weigh carefully the way in which the popular tends to spin through webs of capital. ... This collection ... valuable to specialists, is also particularly useful for those looking for an introduction to this particular field, and likewise is well suited for adaptation in undergraduate courses. With its mix of the particular and the general, Encounters with Popular Pasts is a welcome addition to the ongoing conversation.” (Malgorzata J. Rymsza-Pawlowska, Museum Anthropology Review, Vol. 10 (2), 2016)

Reseña del editor:

This volume is based on the recognition that heritage is popular and popular culture is now readily transformed into heritage whose meanings and myths reshape social life and political and economic realities as well as re-make “tradition.” The papers in this volume consider: What does popular heritage look like? To whom does it speak? Is it active in dissolving class and cultural boundaries or just in reproducing new ones? How do societies manage a heritage that is fluid, immediate and that straddles extremes of serious conflict and hedonistic frivolity? When/under what circumstances is the creation and expression of new cultural forms – popular culture – capable of being transformed into heritage?.
