Introductions to Portraying Heritage AN Series
Erve Chambers, Whose Heritage Is It?: History, Culture
and Inheritance (April 2005 AN). When heritage is highlighted for public consumption, it can force
culture into a public realm which becomes detached from its more intimate reality.
Center for Heritage Research Studies: Eastern Shore Initiate
Michael Paolisso has conducted research into the heritage of the Bay watermen
communities, primarily to assist with environmental management efforts.
Erve Chambers has focused on two long-term research projects designed to
explore relationships between heritage resources, tourism and place-based consciousness
in the Chesapeake Bay region. Placing the Eastern Shore into a broader
context, Donald Jones produced a public access guide to natural and cultural
resources on Department of Defense lands situated across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
Melissa Coates and Stacy Lathrop, Envisioning Global Policy in World
Heritage (May 2005 AN). World heritage is one of several ways of envisioning and constituting a global policy.
“World
Heritage and Cultural Economics,” Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett,
soon to be published in Museum Frictions: Public Cultures/Global Transformations,
contends that at the same time supranational bodies like UNESCO produce universalizing
notions of “world heritage,” they often separate traditions and
legacies from their local contexts.
