{"product_id":"heritage-studies-marie-louise-stig-szurensen-9780415431842","title":"Heritage Studies: Methods and Approaches","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first volume specifically dedicated to the consolidation and clarification of Heritage Studies as a distinct field with its own means of investigation. It presents the range of methods that can be used and illustrates their application through case studies from different parts of the world, including the UK and USA. The challenge that the collection makes explicit is that Heritage Studies must develop a stronger recognition of the scope and nature of its data and a concise yet explorative understanding of its analytical methods. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe methods considered fall within three broad categories: textual\/discourse analysis, methods for investigating people's attitudes and behaviour; and methods for exploring the material qualities of heritage. The methods discussed and illustrated range from techniques such as text analysis, interviews, participant observation, to semiotic analysis of heritage sites and the use of GIS. Each paper discusses the ways in which methods used in social analysis generally are explored and adapted to the specific demands that arise when applied to the investigation of heritage in its many forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHeritage Studies\u003c\/em\u003e is a seminal volume that will help to define the field. The global perspective and the shared focus upon the development of reflexive methodologies ensure that the volume explores these central issues in a manner that is simultaneously case-specific and of general relevance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Louise Stig Sørensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415431840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415431842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010","brand":"Marie Louise Stig Sørensen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136085635327,"sku":"9780415431842","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f19768e8-22a4-4a79-aa06-5045bcd683ec.jpg?v=1770160413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heritage-studies-marie-louise-stig-szurensen-9780415431842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
