Opis

Emotion, Affective Practices and the Past in the Present explores the ways emotion is embroiled and used in contemporary engagements with the past, particularly in contexts such as heritage sites, museums, commemorations, political rhetoric and ideology, debates over issues of social memory and touristic uses of heritage sites. Including contributions from academics and practitioners in a range of countries, the book reviews significant and conflicting academic debates on the nature and expression of affect and emotion and, through the use of case studies, draws out their implications for theory and practice within heritage and museum studies.
