Border-Straddling Heritages

This book project developed through the intellectual effort to tackle and elucidate the inextricable link between heritage and borders as boundary-making processes. 

Working within several disciplinary contexts – including geography, heritage studies, anthropology, archaeology, history, museum studies, music, literature and border studies – the project brought together an international group of scholars representing a broad geography and a multiplicity of scales and perspectives. Working with the uncontainability of the past on the one hand, and the contingency and porosity of borders on the other, the project culminated in the publication of a book, together with a podcast series.

Working with the uncontainability of the past on the one hand, and the contingency and porosity of borders on the other, the chapters in this volume represent a broad geography and a multiplicity of scales and perspectives.

The Book is part of the Explorations in Heritage Studies book series by Berghahn Books, and can be purchased from their website.
The book’s indexing received support from the Korean Heritage Service. An early workshop to support the collaboration was supported by the Alfred Deakin Fund (Deakin University, Australia).

The Podcast received support from Aarhus University School of Culture and Society’s Strategic Research Fund.
