Heritage and Memory Studies

Heritage studies is a field of study which examines the relationship between people, and tangible and intangible heritage. This is done by using methods from social science research. It is distinctly connected, but clearly distinguishable from the disciplines of history and heritage conservation. It seeks to understand heritage through the lens of contemporary sociocultural and experiential values. Memory studies is a field of enquiry which involves the study of memory as a tool for the purpose of remembering the past. Some of the major areas of study within this field are contemporary vs. past memory, multidirectional memory, and collective and individual memory. The topics included in this book on heritage and memory studies are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make it an invaluable source of knowledge.
