On behalf of Laurajane Smith:
Dear List members,
I am preparing a four volume edited collection for Routledge on
'heritage'. This will appear in their Critical Concepts series, which
means that the content will be drawn from work already published. This
means that it will have an historical element, and representation from
more recent work. It also means that not only journal articles but
chapters of books and other forms of published work can be included.
The reason I am posting is to canvas suggestions as to what should be
included in the volumes. I have my own ideas, influenced by 15 years of
teaching and research in the area, but am very interested to get a
broader feel for what others see as the defining publications in the
area.
So I am asking you to nominate articles/chapters/websites and etc that
you feel are not only representative of the literature on heritage
issues in general (history, definitions, nature and uses of heritage,
major conflicts, debates etc) but those publications that have inspired
you or personally had an impact on your practice and/or research in
heritage areas.
I am cross posting this email, as I am very concerned to make this as
interdisciplinary as possible - so don't feel that anything that you
recommend should represent only those ploughing the same disciplinary
furrow in the intellectual field.
I will compile and then post a list of recommendations when/if I get
responses for general interest and possibly discussion by list members.
Please send all initial recommendations off list (unless you think it
might make a topic for discussion on the list itself) directly to me on:

thanks very much,
Laurajane
