摘要

This collection of ten, wide-ranging essays explores various aspects of heritage, and more specifically, conundrums in heritage management in contemporary, culturally pluralist communities. With topics as diverse as street art and graffiti, social housing, monuments, seaside resorts and the Country House (capital letters mandatory!), this collection presents many thought-provoking and fresh concepts and approaches to heritage. Like the heritage field itself, the authors represent a range of academic disciplines, from archaeology and geography, to architecture and history, as well as contributions from heritage practitioners. From the creativity of these essays, one senses that many of these authors are boundary riders: testing the limits of their respective fields and taking what could be perceived as a backwards-looking field firmly into future territory
