Changing Concepts of Temporality in Cultural Heritage and Themed Environments
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Time and Temporality in Theme Parks. - Hannover : Wehrhahn Verlag. - 9783865255488 ; , s. 115-130

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Theme parks and other themed environments commonly evoke stories about the past in order to provide their customers with enjoyable experiences. The underlying visions of the past can easily be dismissed as creative fiction drawing on common stereotypes. Usually, these visions are only very loosely related either to historical accounts based on academic research or to genuine cultural heritage. However, rather than dwelling on anachronisms in theme parks, I am interested in this paper in exploring discernible connections between cultural heritage and artificiality, authenticity and theming. Even cultural heritage needs to evoke stories about the past to provide visitors with enjoyable experiences. I argue that an important precondition for that to succeed is not the historical age of an observed object but its pastness. Pastness denotes the perceived quality that a given object is of the past. Pastness is not immanent in an object but may result from the object’s appearance (e.g. patina), its context (e.g. in a museum), or its correspondence with preconceived expectations among the audience. Therefore, pastness can – and indeed must – be designed and managed. There are thus important lessons to be learned from successful theme parks for cultural heritage management. I conclude by speculating about the social significance of fictitious heritage in themed environments.

On Pastness : A Reconsideration of Materiality in Archaeological Object Authenticity
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Anthropological Quarterly. - : Project Muse. - 0003-5491 .- 1534-1518. ; 86:2, s. 427-444
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article argues for a modified constructivist approach to archaeological object authenticity which takes the object’s materiality seriously. This is accomplished by defining authenticity not in relation to the age of an object but to its age-value, i.e., the quality or condition of being (of the) past—its pastness. Pastness is the result of a particular perception or experience. It derives from, among others, material clues indicating wear and tear, decay, and disintegration. These material clues, and thus the presence of pastness, can be created entirely in the present.

Reconsidering Heritage Destruction and Sustainable Development in a Long-Term Perspective
- 2023
-
Ingår i: The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Destruction. - : Routledge. - 9781003131069 ; , s. 413-423
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter proposes that heritage destruction can be seen as a medium and manifestation of dynamic transformation that ultimately allows more sustainable forms of development to emerge, not least when seen in the context of long-term change. Using insights from current debates on heritage futures and examples from cultural history, we argue that Heritage Studies needs a critical and open-minded discussion of the existing and potential effects of cultural heritage in society, potentially even developing a code of not simply conservation but destruction, change, and decay.

Museum futures and other heritage futures
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Handbook of Futures Studies. - UK : Edward Elgar Publishing. - 9781035301591 - 9781035301607 ; , s. 145-156
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over more than a century of museum and heritage practices, it has been maintained that we need to protect and preserve the past for the benefit of future generations. Emerging discussions in Heritage Studies on heritage futures have started to challenge the axiomatic nature of this rhetoric, showing that preservation is not always the best (or sole) way to address the future in museum and heritage practices. Here we draw on these emerging discussions to address museum futures and other heritage futures. We elaborate on examples of possible futures in museums and heritage practices, including aspects of security policy and mobilization of civil societies in conflict situations, museum and heritage activism for the future, climate change and ways to embrace change to accommodate for sustainable futures. From our results we see variation in how futures are anticipated in museum and heritage practices, including addressing futures as: (1) unspoken and implicit; (2) as a contemporary agenda to act from; or (3) as an unfinished process that informs contemporary practices.
