Pamela Erskine-Loftus, "Representing the Nation: Heritage, Museums, National Narratives, and Identity in the Arab Gulf States "
English | ISBN: 0367193086 | 2019 | 224 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
The 1970s saw the emergence and subsequent proliferation across the Arabian Peninsula of 'national museums', institutions aimed at creating social cohesion and affiliation to the state within a disparate population. Representing the Nation examines the wide-ranging use of exhibitionary forms of national identity projection via consideration of their motivations, implications (current and future), possible historical backgrounds, official and unofficial meanings, and meanings for both the user/visitor and the multiple creators. The book responds to, due to the importance placed on tradition, heritage and national identity across all the states of the Peninsula, and the growth of re-imagined and new museums, the need for far greater discussion and research in these areas.

The Challenge of Cultural Heritage and Identity for Inclusive and Open Societies by Seukwa
English | June 13, 2022 | ISBN: 3631864469 | 382 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Issues of cultural identity and cultural heritage are at the heart of contemporary discourses in many parts of the world. They are used to identify and address the inequalities by marginalized groups; however, they also feed the re-nationalization and ethno-purist fantasies. But what exactly is culture? In this volume, the authors explore how culture is conceptualized and practised by young people in eight countries in numerous and very diverse contexts - schools, interest clubs, organizations and informal youth groups. The chapters show that concepts of culture vary widely within and across sites, regions and countries, highlighting the common, as well as particular, challenges that notions of identity and heritage pose for young people who often aspire to an inclusive and open society

Sofie S. Berg, Eric Fiedler, "Cultural Heritage: Perspectives, Challenges and Future Directions"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1536129135 | PDF | pages: 201 | 10.4 mb
The authors begin by discussing research on the digitalization of cultural heritage, illuminating the centralization and specific conservatism of digitization in Poland, a low level of access to digitized objects, and poor acclimatization to user needs. A study is presented on the ethical and legal aspects of shipwrecks with a complex ownership status due to the waters they lie in and because their cargo may belong to a community that was colonised, to one that does not exist today, or to a state whose territory belongs to a different, new state. This chapter concentrates on the varied formulas for shipwreck claim, as well as the debates on state succession for underwater cultural heritage and on the return of cultural objects found in shipwrecks. Next, an investigation is offered on the dimensions of design intervention for territorial Cultural Heritage, from the typology of the object of intervention to the scale of intervention, up to identifying the specific actions that can be implemented. The authors go on to review cultural policy agendas of the EU from the macro perspective in the context of EU's Europeana project as a case of digital humanities. Additionally, they discuss how the Europeana project is currently executed and what approach it is focused on. Documentation of cultural heritage is examined as a necessity, with its importance exemplified in today's tempestuous world, where many monuments vanish because of the advancement of human society, indifference, vandalism, terrorism, and other reasons. A paper is presented with the goal of determining which non-invasive methods give the instructions for preparing the proper facsimile, or "reprint of an out-of-print book that represents an identical reproduction of the original." Finally, the authors deliberate on the modification of Building Information Modeling methodology to address the modeling and management of heritage/historic buildings, resulting in Heritage/Historic Building Information Modeling.

Easton Lee, "Heritage Call: Ballad for Children of the Dragon"
English | 2001 | ISBN: 9766370346 | PDF | pages: 87 | 2.0 mb
The poems in this collection attempt to give a glimpse of life both in China and in one country, Jamaica, in which Chinese immigrants have settled. By preserving some of the stories that were passed down to him by his father about life in China, Easton Lee hopes to ensure that the history and lore of the great Chinese civilisation will help offspring of the present and future generations to understand their culture with pride and dignity.
