Culture and Perspective delves into a multifaceted exploration of heritage management during crises, with a particular focus on the public nature of cultural heritage. Contributors address a range of critical issues to understand, evaluate, and reevaluate the role of the state in heritage management. These include the decline and shrinking of state structures, which have traditionally dominated heritage management; the enhancement and expansion of private initiatives to fill the gaps created by the inadequacy of the state; the public character of heritage, encompassing ownership and access; and the synergies between state structures and private initiatives in the context of the public nature of heritage.
Key themes explored include state heritage policies during crises and the legal framework governing heritage management. The role of non-government/non-profit agencies is examined, as well as their contribution to heritage preservation. The intersection of heritage and business enterprise, particularly in the context of developmental and energy infrastructures near historic environments, is explored. Museums' role in the current socio-economic landscape is analyzed, as well as their potential for fostering public engagement. Additionally, digital media and new forms of public engagement generated by these platforms are discussed.
This comprehensive examination of culture and perspective provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of heritage management during crises, highlighting the roles of various stakeholders and the need for collaborative efforts to preserve and promote cultural heritage for future generations.
