This book presents new ways of understanding heritage and heritage work. It develops and addresses the ways in which physical processes of creation, maintenance and decay are entangled with cultural and political processes of management, access, and care.

The book analyses a critical practice of heritage work that is oriented to recognising and collaborating with diverse knowledge holders and their practices of caring for heritage. This requires rethinking accepted heritage concepts, such as heritage management, artefact, site, and the definition of heritage itself. The book presents an engaging and applied approach to this task through examples that include Majapahit statues and temples in Indonesia, skating in London, an online heritage movement, building bivouacs in Australia, First Nations advocacy for Country, and batik collections in the Netherlands.

Offering a new model for collaborative heritage research and analysis, this book will be of interest to researchers, students and practitioners. . Drawing from developments from the posthumanities, cultural geography, and critical heritage studies, it presents a collaborative mode of scholarship and writing that considers how people care for and use the things they are left by history.

Industry Reviews

In this erudite work, Jones synthesizes interdisciplinary theoretical sophistication with meticulously grounded empirical observations, presenting them in accessible prose. Balancing concepts with concrete situations, Heritage is Movement is a timely reminder that heritage is consequential for people's lives in real, tangible ways. The book is written with care for places, for people, for the work of other thinkers, and above all, for the reader. It will be useful for students, academics, and practitioners in heritage studies and cognate fields.
