Effective
Spring 2011, Heritage Management was renamed Heritage & Society. Heritage & Society is edited by
Elizabeth S. Chilton and Neil A. Silberman with the
Heritage
& Society is a global, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholarly,
professional, and community reflection on the cultural, political, and economic
impacts of heritage on contemporary society. We seek to examine the current
social roles of collective memory, historic preservation, cultural resource
management, public interpretation, cultural preservation and revitalization,
sites of conscience, diasporic heritage, education, legal/legislative developments,
cultural heritage ethics, and central heritage concepts such as authenticity,
significance, and value.
The
journal provides an engaging forum about tangible and intangible heritage for
those who work with international and governmental organizations, academic
institutions, private heritage consulting and CRM firms, and local, associated,
and indigenous communities. With a special emphasis on social science
approaches and an international perspective, the journal will facilitate
lively, critical discussion and dissemination of practical data among heritage
professionals, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
Heritage
& Society includes peer-reviewed research on policy, legislation, ethics, and
methods in heritage management and will showcase exemplary projects and models
of public interpretation and interaction. A peer-reviewed Forum section
presents position statements and responses on key current issues. The journal
also includes reviews of books, web pages, exhibits, and innovative heritage
projects throughout the world.
Editorial
Focus:
Heritage & Society publishes original research that contributes to the
theory and practice of Heritage as it impacts on wider contemporary society. In
general, the journal is aimed at both working heritage practitioners and
scholars concerned with evolving heritage theory and its application in
real-world situations. The journal will provide resources both for ongoing
heritage initiatives within nation-specific legislative frameworks as well as
more theoretical research papers with international or cross-cultural
significance.
Exemplary
case studies, project reports, heritage management theories, and technological
or technical innovations will be featured in the Journal’s Resources
Section, which offers readers a selection of evolving heritage tools and
techniques. The Forum Section will be devoted to opinion and carefully
formulated position papers on contentious subjects of current heritage policy
and law.
