“…Forskning viser at man lokalt dels velger andre prioriteringer enn man ville gjort sentralt (Mydland og Grahn 2012;Mydland 2013;Swensen et al 2013). Denne trenden sammenfaller med økosystemtje-nestetilnaermingens fokus på mennesker og tjenester, og understreker behovet for å inkludere flere i verditilskrivelse og vekting av verdier på kulturminnefeltet.…”

“…Experts (e.g. historians and archaeologists) usually decided which objects constituted landscape heritage and how it was to be preserved (Smith, 2006;Swensen, Jerpåsen, Saeter, & Tveit, 2013). Yet, over the last decades, heritage was conceptualised as discursive meaning production and a focus on the meanings that people assign to material landscape features prevailed (cf.…”

The Production of Local Landscape Heritage: A Case Study in The Netherlands

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In their daily surroundings, people perpetually produce heritage, as they experience, assign meaning to and act upon local historical landscape features. We conducted a case study in a peat district in the Netherlands to investigate heritage construction in various local landscape practices. These practices reflected distinctive patterns of routinised activities, motives to engage with these activities, historical landscape artefacts that are deemed valuable and meanings assigned to these artefacts. Across these landscape practices, we identified different modes of producing heritage meanings: (a) driven by landscape aesthetics, (b) framed by potential spatial threats, (c) structured by family roots, and (d) generated by the desire to belong to the community. Our study demonstrates that heritage production can vary a lot even within a relatively homogenous local culture. In addition, our results suggest that heritage is sometimes produced implicitly, rather than explicitly.

“…This international classification of heritage has led to a dualistic view separating 'tangible heritage' as material artefacts and structures and the 'intangible heritage' linked to abstract concepts including that of cultural values, meanings, memories and feelings (Swensen et al, 2013;Smith, 2006). The tangible-intangible divide adheres to a dualistic mode of perception: it is as if cultural values and meanings could be separated from a physical locale, material culture and a community's mode de vie.…”

Affordances of Historic Urban Landscapes: An Ecological Understanding of Human Interaction with the Past

Heritage has been defined differently in European contexts. Despite differences, a common challenge for historic urban landscape management is the integration of tangible and intangible heritage. Integration demands an active view of perception and human-landscape interaction where intangible values are linked to specific places and meanings are attached to particular cultural practices and socio-spatial organisation. Tangible and intangible values can be examined as part of a system of affordances (potentialities) a place, artefact or cultural practice has to offer. This paper discusses how an ‘affordance analysis’ may serve as a useful tool for the management of historic urban landscapes.
