This course aims to critically engage students with the various ways in which the past has been presented, preserved, interpreted, transformed and consumed throughout history up to the present. It foremost seeks to provide students with insights into the complementarity between the fields of history and heritage, its sources, theories, practices and main stakeholders. The focus will be on topics with both historical and heritage significance, which will be discussed through a set of common themes (i.e., presentation, preservation, interpretation, transformation and consumption of the past) and through cases from across the globe and across time. Students will be introduced as such to the historical contours in which different forms of history and heritage were developed and crystalized, and its impact on today's theories and practices of history and heritage.
