Abstract

Heritage management is a complex and demanding task; when successful, it will always show (either in the forefront or in the background) the compound multidisciplinary approach standing behind it. Heritage interpretation, not surprisingly, very often plays a key role in this process. Contemporary understanding of heritage management, by professionals as well as by laymen (since they are interconnected), must consider all the relevant (site/county/country/region) specific factors, foremost the social or economic ones beside essential preservation. Heritage management tends towards ensuring tangible (as well as intangible, or more precisely indirect) benefits for local communities and in this way towards the development of society in general. Critical heritage studies over the last few years have significantly influenced the perception of heritage, and consequently the essence of heritage management and heritage interpretation. Stress on the participative and inclusive approach has become crucial, where multi/polyvocality is (almost) self-evident. While the aforementioned words are regular buzzwords today, this article looks for their origins. Surprisingly, this practice could be easily tracked to the early 1970s and the eco-museums movement which is quite a revealing experience. We attempt to demonstrate how the practices of eco-museums could be interlinked with contemporary demands, the need for participative and inclusive heritage interpretation, and management approaches/practices. Finally, the paper will point forward the need for socially responsible heritage management which could indeed be recognised as a demand for heritage literacy and as a model/tool to mitigate diverse interests where contemporary heritage management is concerned.

Nächstes Kapitel The Uses of Space Syntax Historical Research for Policy Development in Heritage Urbanism

From the nineteenth century.

Compare here, for example, the moment when the UNESCO Convention on Intangible Heritage (2003) were adopted, or the tendency (achieved through the Association for Critical Heritage Studies and regular conferences) concerning the need to critically examine ideas and concepts of heritage that have been intensively developing at the global level only since 2012, when the first conference of the Association for Critical Heritage Studies took place (in Gothenburg, Sweden).

It is worth noting here that there is no single socio-humanistic perspective for understanding heritage. More precisely, there is no unique understanding within social and humanistic sciences of what heritage is, where perspectives differ significantly depending on tradition, previous experiences and preferences of the researchers in certain scientific disciplines. Nevertheless, recent trends indicate a common focus towards a scientific discipline (of heritage studies) directed at the idea of heritage per se, heritage as a phenomenon, no matter if this is sometimes expressed by means of contradictory attitudes.

The author cites a number of territories in Europe which are designated as a “little Switzerland”, or, for instance, “Venice of the North”.

See note 1, the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage was adopted only in 2003 and officially entered into force in 2006, only 12 years ago.

See more in Ashworth and Howard (1999), Graham et al. (2000), Howard (2003), Rypkema (2005), Ashworth et al. (2007), Boccardi (2015), Kohl and McCool (2016), etc.

Objects, buildings, phenomena, ideas, etc.

The Faro Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society.

Including within projects funded by the European Commission.

For example, open-air museums or heimatmuseums.

In an area of approximately 500 km².

The Schneider family, which possessed large industrial complexes in the area on which the local economy was dependent, had been accused of collaboration with the Nazi regime after the Second World War and accordingly the management of its industries had been transferred to Paris. The dislocated management entailed a lack of interest, which, together with the changing trends in industry, resulted in the neglect and deterioration of industrial plants, and therefore in a loss of jobs.

Such as systematic research, registration, cataloguing, organisation of more complex activities and advocating the interests of the museum before representatives of the authorities.

But was also disputed at that time by some from the existing museum establishment.

Published, at that time by UNESCO, today as the Museum International by Wiley-Blackwell and ICOM.

All definitions and interpretations stated in the paragraph are according to Hubert (1989).

According to Davis (1999, 2011).

Interpretation also means acting, demonstration, performance.

Better to say vocational.

Among the first who left a mark in the field, and entitled to bear the name “father of heritage interpretation”, was the American naturalist, occasional mountain guide and writer Enos Mills, who among other things deserves credit for the foundation of the Rocky Mountain National Park. In the future area of the Park, Mills worked as an independent and self-proclaimed guide-interpreter from the 1880s.

In his book Interpreting Our Heritage F. Tilden defines interpretation as: “An educational activity which aims to reveal meanings and relationships through the use of original objects, by first hand experience, and by illustrative media, rather than simply to communicate factual information” (Tilden 1977).

While heritage interpretation could be used to assist this goal, it cannot start and end with it.

No matter that F. Tilden did not use the aforementioned terms.

“Through interpretation, understanding; through understanding, appreciation; through appreciation, protection” (Tilden 1977).
