Commemoration and the expression of political identity

“…Governments tend to enjoy a powerful influence over the interpretation of historical events, particularly in national heritage settings (Jeong and Santos 2004;Goulding and Domic 2009;Patil 2011;Park 2016), often leading to contestations over the history presented at heritage sites by those groups that feel under-or mis-represented. As discussed earlier, successive governments in Spain with differing political agendas have adopted conflicting approaches to memorialisation and to the Historical Memory Law.…”

“…Participants' imagination was fired by their confrontation with iconic buildings that they had seen photographs of or that they had read about. This points to a move from the consumption of history, as contested a concept as that is (Goulding and Domic 2009;Patil 2011;Park 2016), to being consumers of heritage, betraying the complicated relationship between the two fields. As Lowenthal (1998) notes, heritage adopts from and enlivens aspects of history.…”

“…Thus history provides the resources upon which heritage relies (Ashworth 1994). Heritage is necessarily drawn from history, constructed through the partial lens of the historian (Park 2016).…”

Electrodermal activity measurement within a qualitative methodology

“…These range from simple emotion recording surveys (e.g. Hosany, 2012;Woosnam, 2012), to physiological response measures (Kim and Fesenmaier, 2015;Shoval et al, 2018) to netnography (Ji et al, 2016) and ethnographic studies (Park, 2016). Kim and Fesenmaier (2015, p. 421-422) usefully summarise three key approaches that have been applied to researching emotions in a tourism context and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each : o n a l J o u r n a l o f C o n t e m p o r a r y H o s p i t a l i t y M a n a g e 5 1) Self-report: This can be in the form of diaries, interviews or questionnaires and aims to collect subjective experiences.…”

‘Presence’ and ‘absence’ in themed heritage

“…Accordingly, we consider the 'presence' of materiality versus the 'absence' of history. We recognize that interpretation that excludes or silences important histories (Martin, 2010;Park, 2016), or reinforces a particular hegemony or ideology through the cleansing of history (Goulding & Domic, 2009), can blind us to the implications of those histories in the present. Drawing on participatory observation and visual data, we focus on a museum which is dedicated to a radical and transformative period -the so called Industrial Revolution.…”
