Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Using an historical perspective, whilst also putting forward modern viewpoints, this volume explores the relationship between art and material culture. It presents case studies of some of the ways in which national cultural haeritage was and still is being created and moulded into collective views of the state, its regions, municipalities, constituent groups and values. Museums are analyzed as social institutions that act as powerful forces in the forging of self-consciousness, both within specific historical contexts, and as part of the political process of democritization. This volume also chronicles the ways in which collections have played important roles in creating national identity and in promoting national agendas. Collectively, these essays form a study for anyone interested in the relationship between cultural heritage and the creation of nation states and national identity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
