Taking the significant Faro Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society (Council of Europe 2005) as its starting point, this book presents pragmatic views on the rise of the local and the everyday within cultural heritage discourse. Bringing together a range of case studies within a broad geographic context, it examines ways in which authorised or ''expert'' views of heritage can be challenged, and recognises how everyone has expertise in familiarity with their local environment. The book concludes that local agenda and everyday places matter, and examines how a realignment of heritage practice to accommodate such things could usefully contribute to more inclusive and socially relevant cultural agenda.
Industry Reviews
'Imaginatively illustrated and thoroughly referenced and footnoted ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' Choice 'Individually and in sum, the chapters collected here launch a convincing attack on the ways in which "expertise" has been used to build authority and hence to exclude laypersons from an involvement in heritage. They do so not only by critiquing the concept directly, but also through case studies which show how counter-heritages can radically undermine older models to provide innovative, new, and ultimately more democratic ways of understanding heritage and its role in contemporary society.' Rodney Harrison, UCL Institute of Archaeology, UK
