    (I am currently Director of the Centre of Heritage and Museum Studies, the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. I have a particular interest in theorising heritage as a cultural process/practice and examining the intersection between heritage theory and practice and cultural policy. I also have long-term research interests in the role of heritage and heritage discourses in political movements, including labour movements, Indigenous political movements and issues associated with multiculturalism and the politics of recognition/difference. I also have an established interest in intangible heritage and argue that indeed ‘all heritage is intangible’. <br /><br />I am editor of &#39;International Journal of Heritage Studies&#39; and series general editor with Gönül Bozoglu of &#39;Key Issues in Cultural Heritage&#39; (Routledge). <br /><br />Prior to arriving at the Australian National University in 2010, I was Reader in heritage studies at the University of York, UK (directing their MA in Cultural Heritage Management for nine years). I am, however, originally from Sydney, I taught Indigenous Studies at the University of New South Wales (1995-2000), and heritage and archaeology at Charles Sturt University (1990-1995). Prior to that, I worked as a heritage/archaeological consultant in South-Eastern Australia.<br /><br />Although originally trained in archaeology, my work is informed by, and committed to, the development of heritage studies as an interdisciplinary field of enquiry.&nbsp; <br /><br />I was, with Gary Campbell, founder of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies and its founding chair from 2012-14 (now the position of president).

Emotional Heritage brings the issues of affect and power in the theorisation of heritage to the fore, whilst also highlighting the affective and political consequences of heritage-making.

Drawing on interviews with visitors to museums and heritage sites in the United States, Australia and England, Smith argues that obtaining insights into how visitors use such sites enables us to understand the impact and consequences of professional heritage and museological practices. The concept of registers of engagement is introduced to assess variations in how visitors use museums and sites that address national or dissonant histories, and the political consequences of their use. Visitors are revealed as agents in the roles cultural institutions play in maintaining or challenging the political and social status quo. Heritage is, Smith argues, about people and their social situatedness, and the meaning they, alongside or in concert with cultural institutions, make and mobilise to help them address social problems and expressions of identity and sense of place in and for the present.

Academics, students and practitioners interested in theories of power and affect in museums and heritage sites will find Emotional Heritage to be an invaluable resource. Helping professionals to understand the potential impact of their practice, the book also provides insights into the role visitors play in the interplay between heritage and politics.

Emotion, Affective Practices, and the Past in the Present is a response to debates in the humanities and social sciences about the use of emotion. This timely and unique book explores the ways emotion is embroiled and used in contemporary engagements with the past, particularly in contexts such as heritage sites, museums, commemorations, political rhetoric and ideology, debates over issues of social memory, and touristic uses of heritage sites.

Including contributions from academics and practitioners in a range of countries, the book reviews significant and conflicting academic debates on the nature and expression of affect and emotion. As a whole, the book makes an argument for a pragmatic understanding of affect and, in doing so, outlines Wetherell’s concept of affective practice, a concept utilised in most of the chapters in this book. Since debates about affect and emotion can often be confusing and abstract, the book aims to clarify these debates and, through the use of case studies, draw out their implications for theory and practice within heritage and museum studies.

Emotion, Affective Practices, and the Past in the Present should be essential reading for students, academics, and professionals in the fields of heritage and museum studies. The book will also be of interest to those in other disciplines, such as social psychology, education, archaeology, tourism studies, cultural studies, media studies, anthropology, sociology, and history.

Drawing on detailed case studies primarily from England and Australia this book re-theorizes the idea of heritage. The idea of the ‘authorized heritage discourse’, or AHD, is introduced and traditional Western definitions of heritage that focus on material and monumental forms of ‘old’, or aesthetically pleasing, tangible heritage are challenged. An alternative conception of heritage is developed which established and develops themes of memory, performance, identity, intangibility, dissonance and place.

This book is a response to the burgeoning interest in cultural tourism and the associated need for a coherently theorized approach for understanding the practices that such an interest creates. The volume provides a theoretical and empirical account of what it means to be a cultural or heritage tourist. It achieves this by exploring the interactions of people with places, spaces, intangible heritage and ways of life, not as linear alignments but as seductive ‘moments’ of encounter, engagement, performance and meaning-making, which are constitutive of cultural experience in its broadest sense. The book further explores encounters in cultural tourism as events that capture and constitute important social relations involving power and authority, self-consciousness and social position, gender and space, history and the present. It also explores the consequences these insights have for our understanding of culture and heritage and its management in the context of tourist activity.

This book traces the history of the development of 'community archaeology', identifying both its advantages and disadvantages by describing how and why tensions have arisen between archaeological and community understandings of the past, and the various uses that interpretations of the past are put to. The focus of the book is the conceptual disjunction between heritage and data and the problems this poses for both archaeologists and communities in communicating and engaging with each other.

The year 2007 marked the bicentenary of the Act abolishing British participation in the slave trade. Representing Enslavement and Abolition on Museums - which uniquely draws together contributions from academic commentators, museum professionals, community activists and artists who had an involvement with the bicentenary - reflects on the complexity and difficulty of museums' experiences in presenting and interpreting the histories of slavery and abolition, and places these experiences in the broader context of debates over the bicentenary's significance and the lessons to be learnt from it. The history of Britain’s role in transatlantic slavery officially become part of the National Curriculum in the UK in 2009; with the bicentenary of 2007, this marks the start of increasing public engagement with what has largely been a ‘hidden’ history. The book aims to not only critically review and assess the impact of the bicentenary, but also to identify practical issues that public historians, consultants, museum practitioners, heritage professionals and policy makers can draw upon in developing responses, both to the increasing recognition of Britain’s history of African enslavement and controversial and traumatic histories more generally.

This volume examines the implications and consequences of the idea of ‘intangible heritage’ to current international academic and policy debates about the meaning and nature of cultural heritage and the management processes developed to protect it. It provides an accessible account of the different ways in which intangible cultural heritage has been defined and managed in both national and international contexts, and aims to facilitate international debate about the meaning, nature and value of not only intangible cultural heritage, but heritage more generally.

Archaeology has, on the whole, tended to dominate the development of public policies and practices applicable to what is often referred to as “heritage”. This book aims to examine the conflation of heritage with archaeology that has occurred as a result. To do so, it asks whether archaeology can usefully contribute to critical understandings of heritage, which, the volume contends, must consider heritage both in terms of what it is and the cultural, social and political work it does in contemporary societies. Archaeologists have been very successful in protecting what they perceive to be their database—a success that owes much to the development and maintenance of a suite of heritage management practices that work to legitimize their privileged access to, and control of, that database. However, is archaeological data actually heritage? Moreover, does archaeological knowledge offer a meaningful reflection of “the historic environment”, in terms of the uses, values and associations it carries for the various and different communities or publics that engage with that environment/heritage? The volume brings together academic and field archaeologists, academics from heritage studies and community activists from the UK and Europe more generally to debate these issues.

Cultural Heritage is a title in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies. Edited by Laurajane Smith, this four-volume collection brings together the essential Anglophone literature of heritage studies. Encompassing both contemporary material and material of historical significance from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the collection is explicitly interdisciplinary, with research drawn not only from the three disciplines of archaeology, architecture and history traditionally associated with material heritage, but also from subjects such as geography, anthropology, museology, sociology, cultural studies, performance studies and tourism studies.
The first volume (‘History and Concepts’) describes the development of the modern concern with conserving and preserving material from the past—often conceptualized as ‘heritage’. It also gathers the best research about the key concepts and principles underlying heritage management and conservation practices.
Volume 2 (‘Critical Concepts in Heritage’) traces the dissonant and contested nature of heritage practices and the various attempts that have been made to theorize heritage conservation, curation and preservation practices. The volume contains work on the debates over Indigenous heritage, national identity, and memory and heritage, together with papers that attempt to explain and contextualize these debates.
Volume 3 (‘Heritage as an Industry’) collects the most significant scholarship on issues about the so-called ‘commodification’ of the past and the creation of ‘consensual histories’, while Volume 4 (‘Interpretation and Community’) contains the key material on the practice of heritage interpretation and community heritage projects, as well as work on the developing debates about the nature of intangible heritage.

Using the Burra Charter as a case study we argue that the way we talk, write and otherwise represent heritage both constitutes and is constituted by the operation of a dominant discourse. In identifying the discursive construction of heritage, the paper argues we may reveal competing and conflicting discourses and the power relations that underpin the power/knowledge relations between expertise and community interests.

More effective and informed professional practices associated with repatriation can only, this chapter argues, be achieved by acknowledging and engaging with the emotional registers and repertoires of collecting, retention, and repatriation of Indigenous Ancestral Remains. Drawing on Wetherell’s (2012) concept of affective practices the chapter identifies and considers the differing emotions and their expressions that underlie demands for repatriation and the responses of scientists. Emotion has often been neglected in repatriation scholarship, but an engagement with the affective aspects of the repatriation process offers opportunities in challenging the often polarized and polarizing characterization of this debate and extends the field of analysis in considering the consequences of repatriation to community and individual wellbeing, peace-building, and healing. We explore these ideas with examples from Hawaiian and Australian Aboriginal peoples’ perspectives particularly.

Heritage sites and places are often mobilized to represent a group's identity and sense of place and belonging. This paper will illustrate how heritage and museum visiting, as a leisure activity, facilitates or impedes recognition and redistribution in direct and indirect ways. Drawing on extensive qualitative interviews with visitors to 45 heritage sites and museums in the USA, Australia, and England, the paper demonstrates the importance of emotions in mundane struggles over recognition and misrecognition. How emotions uphold or challenge investments in heritage narratives are examined. The paper argues that heritage and heritage-making is a valuable focus of analysis that reveals the nuances of how people sustain or impede claims for recognition and redistribution.

The Unesco Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage has significantly raised international and community awareness of the legitimacy of the concept of intangible heritage. Although, in raising this awareness, the Convention has not yet provided a framework that privileges the community/sub-national orientation of intangible heritage. This paper argues that definitions and ideas of heritage developed by national and international agencies such as UNESCO and ICOMOS need challenging and reconsidering. The dichotomy between tangible and intangible heritage needs re-thinking, and indeed, I posit all heritage is intangible.

Qualitative interviews were undertaken with visitors at five museums that display the histories and experiences of immigration in the United States and Australia. This paper outlines the range of embodied performative practices of meaning making that visitors undertook during their visits and the meanings and political values that they created or reaffirmed in doing so. The key performance at these museums were the affirmation and reinforcement of familial, ethnic and national identities in which individuals explored the tensions between migrant identity and the nationalizing narratives of the resident nation. The performance of reinforcement could also be used to justify both politically progressive and conservative narratives of inclusion and exclusion. Building on performances of reinforcement some visitors also engaged in acts of justification, recognition and misrecognition. In illustrating and mapping out the range of banal and complex ways these museums were used by visitors,...

This paper summarises previous arguments about the existence and nature of a Western and Eurocentric Authorised Heritage Discourse and examines the consequences this discourse has for archaeological practices associated with community engagement and outreach. This discourse frames archaeology heritage practices and works to conceive heritage as specifically ‘archaeological heritage’. The archaeological discipline owes much to the existence of this discourse, which privileges expert values over those of community and other sub-national interests and which works to constrain understandings of heritage as primarily material. This discourse hinders productive and critical community engagement and the paper argues that archaeologists need to engage in self-conscious and explicit challenges to this discourse to facilitate meaningful community partnerships.

This chapter, from the edited volume ‘Intangible Heritage’ (Routledge 2009) examines the policy response within England to the UNESCO ‘Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage’, 2003. Drawing on interview data with policy makers in England, the chapter argues that that the Authorized Heritage Discourse (AHD) impedes the ability of English cultural policy to engage with the concept of intangible heritage.

We are calling for papers on the political aspects of heritage and defining 'heritage' and 'politics' broadly. Heritage includes the range of disciplines that address the role of the past in the present, including but not exhausted by heritage and museum studies, history, archaeology, memory studies, heritage tourism, anthropology, geography, political science and sociology. We suggest that politics is defined by agonistic struggles and the exercise and contestation of power at a range of scales, and we expect submissions to address vigorously contemporary issues rather than be retrospective. Relevant scales include the nation and nationalism, international relations and diplomacy, geopolitical realignments and the Global South, the operations of international agencies (e.g. UNESCO), public and cultural policy, sub-national cultural politics, and regional, family and personal identities. Topics could include-but are not limited to-neoliberal dynamics, terror and mobilisations of fear and hatred, old and new nationalisms, public policy, recognition, restitution and reparation claims, migration and refugeeism, crises (pandemics, climate), colonial and decolonial practice, communities, self-and personhood, as well as international relations, geopolitics, soft power and cooperation to address global problems. We invite papers that address heritage and politics through a range of theoretical perspectives and approaches, including ethnographic, qualitative and mixed methods, among others. We are also open to other aspects of politics broadly defined-we are not looking to 'round up the usual suspects'-and are looking for new insights and approaches. In casting our net widely, we are very open to work by early-career researchers and PhD students and contributions from outside Europe and North America. We are proposing that papers should be between 6000 to 8000 words. Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words to

We have left this rather late for a session at the August 2020 Association of Critical Heritage Studies conference, London (https://achs2020london.com/). We need paper titles and abstracts by OCTOBER 28, 2019. Please send to your contributions to the session organisers, Gary Campbell and Laurajane Smith, c/o: Laurajane.smith@anu.edu.au Populism and Heritage Populism has once again become a pressing global political issue. Political commentators around the globe have responded to the relatively recent right-wing populist mobilisations and electoral successes, as have academic researchers (see for example special editions of journals in anthropology, political science and international relations). A recurring theme in critiques of populism is that populism is seen as both reactionary and nostalgic. Populism's critics regularly identify one of its defining features to be an unhealthy obsession with an often imagined past, mobilised with strong emotions to do political work in the present, usually to promote politically and socially conservative agendas. We note three things about the recent wave of writing about populism. First, despite heritage studies, and critical heritage studies in particular, being almost defined by its insistence on addressing the contemporary uses of the past, the emerging literature on populism does not, that we are aware of, draw on the insights of heritage studies. Second, however, critical heritage studies, because of its interdisciplinary concern with the power laden and politically charged uses of the past (broadly defined) in the present, is well placed to inform the emerging research interest in populism. Third, unfortunately, there has been very little published from heritage studies directly addressing the nature and re-emergence of populism (though see Smith and Campbell 2017; and addressing Europe; De Cesari and Kaya 2019 and Kaya 2019). We are proposing a session that brings together scholars in the CHS movement with others who have an interest in populism to explore the synergies we see in heritage studies deepening understanding of how populism animates people by drawing on the past. Potential topics may include: • International memory culture and the spread of populist tropes, communication of past oriented memes between right-wing populist groups and parties. • Comparative studies of populist past-centred narratives and their mobilisation in contemporary politics. • Illustrative national case studies of populist past-centred political action. • Theoretical and inter-disciplinary work synthesising existing work and making connections between different fields. • Work focussed on de-industrialised working-class communities and populism.

The aims of the Journal are to foster an interdisciplinary conversation about the idea of heritage and heritage studies. We see heritage studies as a field that brings together diverse disciplines to study what Raphael Samuel (1994, p. 25) defined as &#x27;one of the major... social movements of our time&#x27;. Although often dominated by literature concerned with technical aspects of conservation, curatorial and management practices, a growing interest has arisen that treats &#x27;heritage&#x27;as a phenomenon worthy of study in its own right. While this has ...

When we wrote the manifesto of the ACHS we were keen to promote a strong sense of critical engagement with social justice issues, and to encourage people to draw on the wider social sciences to study museums and heritage. We are heartened that so many people have embraced the ACHS, and that the ACHS conferences have been such a success, and intellectually and socially happy and exciting places to be. Having said that, we also have some reservations about some of the theoretical sources that are being drawn on as CHS develops, the way they are being taken up, and the consequences this may be having for developing a critical approach to the issues of social justice we hope to promote. What we are going to do in this paper is to outline the problems we have with these theoretical borrowings from what has loosely been termed the New Materialism or Post-Humanism. In some ways our discussion is impressionistic, but we would like to look at the 'local' influences these borrowings have, and the flavour they may impart to the work we do. We would also like to ask some questions about what sort of questions and themes might be foreclosed, and what that might mean for 'being critical'.
