Recenzii
'Towards World Heritage brings together some of the best minds in historic preservation and offers a series of outstanding essays on the early history of the movement in a transnational perspective. Steering clear of the twin shoals of aestheticism and triumphalism, the essays in this volume recognize that preservation debates are always suffused with politics. Towards World Heritage is an invaluable volume for scholars and practitioners alike.' Max Page, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA 'Overall, this book is an interesting volume, which sheds light on the neglected study of the initial phase of international preservation efforts of world heritage and the related politics on the local and global scales.' Journal of Heritage Tourism '... as an innovative survey of international attitudes at a crucial time for the emergence of national approaches to cultural protection, this book has much to offer.' Landscapes 'Towards World Heritage is a collection of ten pieces, most of them probing new territory, to reveal how complex and multifaceted that early history is. As a collection, these essays make a very useful contribution to our still limited knowledge of preservation’s own past. For American readers, the book merits attention foremost for the issues that are analyzed'. Richard Longstreth,The Public Historian '... a work which advances the study of international heritage and conservation, and which demonstrates how we need to be aware of the international themes and links in the history of heritage'. English Heritage Historical Review '... well-produced and nicely illustrated ... the collection’s purpose is to explore, through thematically linked case studies, the political, intellectual and cultural contexts of the rise of a significant interest in ’international heritage’ in the half-century or so from the late nineteenth century'. Journal of Transatlantic Studies
Descriere
Historic preservation, whether of landscapes or buildings, was an important development of the nineteenth century in many countries. There is however surprisingly little understanding about how it took place. In order to begin unlocking a very complex phenomenon that has helped to define our own age, this dynamic collection of essays brings together a transdisciplinary line-up of academics and practitioners to reconsider preservation's origins.
