This subject offers a practical overview of the process of cultural heritage management. It introduces students to the notion of ‘heritage values’ which are used (both nationally and internationally) to define and assess the cultural significance of heritage places. The subject will also introduce students to a range of concepts surrounding the presentation of heritage places to the public. It will examine issues surrounding the role and nature of ‘interpretation’ and the application of a range of media in relation to this.
Learning Objectives:
- develop an understanding of the processes involved in the identification, assessment and management of cultural heritage places;
- develop an understanding of the purpose of public interpretation in relation to heritage places, including a range of issues associated with this;
- develop an understanding of the range of media through which ‘interpretation’ can be achieved.
