{"product_id":"sense-and-essence-birgit-meyer-9781785339400","title":"Sense and Essence: Heritage and the Cultural Production of the Real","description":"\u003cp\u003eContrary to popular perceptions, cultural heritage is not given, but constantly in the making: a construction subject to dynamic processes of (re)inventing culture within particular social formations and bound to particular forms of mediation. Yet the appeal of cultural heritage often rests on its denial of being a fabrication, its promise to provide an essential ground to social-cultural identities. Taking this paradoxical feature as a point of departure, and anchoring the discussion to two heuristic concepts--the \"politics of authentication\" and \"aesthetics of persuasion\"--the chapters herein explore how this tension is central to the dynamics of heritage formation worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Birgit Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785339400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785339400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Birgit Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938052342015,"sku":"9781785339400","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f178e8e5-fa9b-42ca-b59c-3fb994417808.jpg?v=1681433447","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sense-and-essence-birgit-meyer-9781785339400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
