About this book

The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Cultural Heritage and Conflict critically analyses the relationship between cultural heritage and conflict as well as the tangible and intangible remnants, traces and spaces of competing heritages and memories of the past in the present. This interdisciplinary encyclopedia brings together leading scholars from different disciplines across the humanities and social sciences to provide the state of the art and most comprehensive overview of theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of cultural heritage and conflict. The encyclopedia covers the fields of heritage and memory studies, cultural studies, museum studies, arts and media, literature, semiotics and performative studies, postcolonial studies, ethnology and anthropology, Holocaust and genocide studies, conflict and identity studies, archaeology and material culture studies, landscapes, conservation and restoration, cultural, public and oral history, critical and digital heritage studies. The interdisciplinary scope of the encyclopaedia breaks new ground in the study of contemporary narratives of cultural heritage and conflict and the ways in which they broaden public understandings of the complex spacio-temporal dynamics between heritage, memory, conflict, and identity. By crossing academic, artistic and professional boundaries, the encyclopedia aims to offer an open space for the rich scholarship in these fields, and to contribute to a better understanding of the extent to which practices and discourses of heritage and conflict operate as vehicles at local, national and transnational levels.
