Heritage and Democracy

Jahrestagung 2024

Veröffentlichungen des Arbeitskreises Theorie und Lehre der Denkmalpflege e.V.

Democracy is a fragile creature. So is cultural heritage. Heritage designation, interpretation and management are always affected by political circumstances. Democracy can take various forms, but the common thread is the emphasis on the empowerment of the people, the Demos, in shaping the policies and direction of the state. Whatever the approach taken towards heritage in democratic societies, it has to be subjected to the scrutiny of the public, and that includes a dialogue and discourse beyond heritage professionals. This raises the questions: Who defines, interprets, uses or instrumentalises heritage and for what purposes? The publication on Heritage and Democracy brings together interdisciplinary perspectives on the topic, examining heritage under the categories of the public good, civil society, politics and polity.

Assoc. Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Arch. Sabine Coady Schäbitz, Coventry University, Associate Professor for Architecture

Dr. Svenja Hönig, TU Berlin, Post-Doc at the Chair of Urban Conservation and Cultural Heritage
