π± heritage is political
Smith 2022 (1)
Heritage is a political resource; no matter how this concept is defined, "heritage" is charged with representing individual and group identity, sense of place and belonging.
Graham, Ashworth and Tunbridge 2000 (5)
"the study of heritage, like that of geography itself, involves acknowledging the ways in which interpretations are context bound and power laden" (sic) (5)
Heritage, and its accompanying objects and symbols, is inextricably embroiled in structures of power.
