Klappentext

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Ethics offers a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the main concepts that shape and inform heritage ethics, whilst also giving consideration to the ways they are applied in practice.

Bringing together various lines of interdisciplinary inquiry, the volume provides a systematic approach to the topic that broadens the scope of heritage ethics beyond restitution and ownership of the past. Analysis is accompanied by relevant case studies from all over the world, which will help to map the cultural differences in ethical approaches when it comes to making decisions about heritage. The case studies also highlight the nuanced application of the concepts discussed throughout the volume. Divided into six parts, the Handbook provides an overview of the relationship between ethics and heritage and content on conventional topics, but also includes material about emerging ethical issues in heritage, such as digital heritage, homeless people's heritage, migrants' heritage, difficult heritage, the ethics of heritage futures and the ethics of heritage institutions.

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Ethics is the first volume to provide a rigorous analysis of the main concepts that shape and inform the debate of the ethics of cultural heritage and critical heritage studies. It will be essential reading for academics and students working in the following fields: Museum and Heritage Studies, Anthropology, Archaeology, Applied Philosophy, and Tourism Studies.
