Historic Preservation

Collective Memory and Historic Identity

Beschreibung

This text focuses on historic preservation, and contrasts Europe - which it argues is an elitist enterprise aimed at preserving values - and the USA, where the patterns are more democratic and dynamic. It asks whether preservation is just a media representation and a means of consuming history.
