Critical Heritage Studies is a new and fast-growing interdisciplinary field of study seeking to explore power relations involved in the production and meaning-making of cultural heritage. Politics of Scale offers a global, multi- and interdisciplinary point of view to the scaled nature of heritage, and provides a theoretical discussion on scale as a social construct and a method in Critical Heritage Studies. The international contributors provide examples and debates from a range of diverse countries, discuss how heritage and scale interact in current processes of heritage meaning-making, and explore heritage-scale relationship as a domain of politics

This demonstration offers the opportunity to explore a multisensory digital interface as part of the wider research project 'Mapping Memory Routes: Eliciting Culturally Diverse Memes for Digital Archives'. The interface is conceived as a tool for capturing memes rooted in the rich intangible heritage of culturally diverse communities in London, opening up a space for intercultural exchange to be used in meaningful urban design. Based on a model developed by artist and researcher Alda Terracciano for her multisensory installation 'Streets of.7 cities in 7 minutes', the interface is used to explore new design methods to elicit cultural memories through the use of multisensory technology. The tool aims to stimulate collective curatorial practices aimed at democratising decision-making processes in critical heritage studies and urban planning.

O presente dossiê tem como objetivo engajando profissionais e a sociedade para sustentabilidade e Patrimônios Futuros. Atividades que refletem sobre museus, patrimônio sensível, educação patrimonial, turismo, arqueologia contemporânea e métodos fazem parte desta edição Cadernos do LEPAARQ, Revista do Laboratório de Ensino e Pesquisa em Antropologia e Arqueologia da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (LEPAARQ-UFPEL). O objetivo aqui é apresentar como museus e atividades internacionais lidam com patrimônio aplicado em diversos contextos e como suas propostas de ações pedagógicas/museológicas podem ser orientadas para o futuro. Para além do impacto da covid-19 no patrimônio cultural (Saladino Muniz, 2020), o dossiê visa dialogar com perspectivas da arqueologia no contemporâneo (Gonzalez-Ruibal, 2006; Hamilakis, 2018; McAtackney McGuire, 2020) abordando engajamento para futuro global considerando o papel do patrimônio cultural (Harrison et al 2020, Holtorf Högberg, 2020), visões desde a América Latina (Muniz Almansa-Sánchez, 2020), interpretações dos patrimônios (Rampim et al 2020) e métodos educacionais (Petersson Holtorf, 2016) no contexto do patrimônio aplicado e por uma saúde planetária (Horton et. Al. 2014). The present special issue aims to engage professionals and society for sustainability and heritage futures. Activities that reflect on museums, sensitive heritage, heritage education, tourism, contemporary archaeology and methods are part of this edition of Cadernos do LEPAARQ - Journal of the Laboratory of Teaching and Research in Anthropology and Archaeology of the Federal University of Pelotas (LEPAARQ-UFPEL). The objective here is to present how museums and international activities deal with applied heritage in different contexts and how their proposals for pedagogical / museological actions can be oriented towards the future. In addition to the impact of covid-19 on cultural heritage (Saladino Muniz, 2020), the special issue aims to dialogue with perspectives on contemporary archaeology (Gonzalez-Ruibal, 2006; Hamilakis, 2018; McAtackney McGuire, 2020), addressing engagement for global futures considering the role of cultural heritage (Harrison et al 2020, Holtorf Högberg, 2020), visions from Latin America (Muniz Almansa-Sánchez, 2020), interpretations of heritage (Rampim et al 2020), contexts of segregation and educational methods (Petersson Holtorf, 2016) in the context of applied heritage and for planetary health (Horton et. Al. 2014).

Focusing on the practices and politics of heritage-making at the individual and the local level, this book uses a wide array of international case studies to argue for their potential not only to disrupt but also to complement formal heritage-making in public spaces. Providing a much-needed clarion call to reinsert the individual as well as the transient into more collective heritage processes and practices, this strong contribution to the field of Critical Heritage Studies offers insight into benefits of the 'heritage from below approach' for researchers, policy makers and practitioners

Heritage Justice explores how far past wrongs can be remedied through compensatory mechanisms involving material culture. The Element goes beyond a critique of global heritage brokers such as UNESCO, the ICC and museums as redundant, Eurocentric and elitist to explore why these institutions have become the focus for debates about global heritage justice. Three broad modes of compensatory mechanisms are identified: recognition, economic reparation and return. Arguing against Jenkins (2016) that museums should not be the site for difficult conversations about the past, Heritage Justice proposes that it is exactly the space around objects and sites created by museums and global institutions that allows for conversations about future dignity. The challenge for cultural practitioners is to broaden out ideas of material identity beyond source communities, private property and economic value to encompass dynamic global shifts in mobility and connectivity.

With empirical touchstones from Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, the authors argue that heritage and property represent different approaches to subject formation, produce distinct bodies of expertise, and belong to different rationalities of government in a global patrimonial field: that cultural property is a technology of sovereignty, part of the order of the modern liberal state, but cultural heritage a technology of reformation that cultivates responsible subjects and entangles them in networks of expertise and management. While particular case trajectories may shift back and forth from rights-based claims and resolutions under the sign of cultural property to ethical claims and solutions under the sign of cultural heritage, the authors contend that there is significant analytical purchase to be gained from their distinction. Using a critical, comparative approach, they make the case for a historically grounded and theoretically informed understanding of the difference between the two terms.

Religion and spirituality have been scarcely addressed in heritage preservation history, discourse, and practice. More recently, increased interest in the intersections between the study of religion and heritage preservation in both academic studies and institutional initiatives highlight obstacles that the field has yet to overcome theoretically and methodologically. This Element surveys the convergences of religious and heritage traditions. It argues that the critical heritage turn has not adequately considered the legacy of secularism that underpins the history and contemporary practices of heritage preservation. This omission is what has left the field of heritage studies ill-equipped to support the study and management of a heritage of religion broadly construed

This research examines how museums and heritage sites can embrace a social justice approach to tackle inequalities and how they can empower disadvantaged groups to take an equal benefit from cultural resources. This Element argues that heritage institutions can use their collections of material culture more effectively to respond to social issues, and examines how they can promote equal access to resources for all people, regardless of their backgrounds. This research examines heritage and museum practices, ranging from critical and democratic approaches to authoritarian practices to expose the pitfalls and potentials therein. By analysing case studies, examining institutions' current efforts and suggesting opportunities for further development with regard to social justice, this Element argues that heritage sites and museums have great potential to tackle social issues and to create a platform for the equal redistribution of cultural resources, the recognition of diversities and the representation of diverse voices

As one of the world's fastest growing industries, heritage tourism is surrounded by political and ethical issues. This research explores the social and political effects and implications of heritage tourism through several pertinent topics. It examines the hegemonic power of heritage tourism and its consequences, the spectre of nationalism and colonialism in heritage-making, particularly for minorities and indigenous peoples, and the paradox of heritage tourism's role in combating these issues. Drawing from global cases, the study addresses a range of approaches and challenges of empowerment within the context of heritage tourism, including cultural landscapes, intangible heritage and eco-museums. The research argues that heritage tourism has the potential to develop as a form of co-production. It can be used to create a mechanism for community-centred governance that integrates recognition and interpretation and promotes dialogue, equity and diversity.
