The year 2018 marks
the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the Belfast Agreement that
initiated an uneasy peace in Northern Ireland after the forty years of the Troubles.
The last twenty years, however, has still not been sufficient time to
satisfactorily resolve the issue of how to deal with the events of the conflict
and the dissonant heritages that both gave rise to it and were, in turn,
fuelled by it. With contributions from across the UK and Europe, Heritage after Conflict brings
together a range of expertise to examine the work to which heritage is
currently being put within Northern Ireland. Questions about the contemporary
application of remembering infiltrate every aspect of heritage studies,
including built heritages, urban regeneration and planning, tourism, museum
provision and intangible cultural heritages. These represent challenges for
heritage professionals, who must carefully consider how they might curate and
conserve dissonant heritages without exacerbating political tensions that might
spark violence. Through a lens of critical heritage studies, contributors to
this book locate their work within the wider contexts of post-conflict
societies, divided cities and dissonant heritages. Heritage after Conflict should be essential reading for
academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the study of the
social sciences, history, peace studies, economics, cultural geography, museum
heritage and cultural policy, and the creative arts. It should also be of great
interest to heritage professionals.
