Opis

This study develops a communication-centred perspective of heritage museums, exploring their socio-cultural role as arenas for the production of collective memory. Also analyzed is the social legitimation and identity formation they produce through the interplay of the local and the global.

Recenzje

"This fine book becomes doubly rewarding when Katriel's insight probes beyond the more formal apparatus of museums and narration."
