World Heritage Site Management
Natural Heritage Management

We examined disposal across different heritage domains, considering the potential for ‘imaginative decommissioning’ (DeSilvey 2017) and the possible differences between disposing in cultural and natural heritage realms.

Salvation / Sacrifice

If heritage is defined by those objects, places and practices it is charged with “saving”, we rarely pause to consider its opposite effects: the ways in which it also involves forms of sacrifice.

Autonomy

When we say something has ‘autonomy’ we usually mean that it is free from external control or influence. In academic debates, some have argued that autonomy is the defining quality of rewilding initiatives

Stories

In museums of the contemporary everyday, ‘stories’ is a term that has repeatedly been used by those with whom we have talked.
