Abstract
This book examines the shift from the identity-marking heritage of European nation states to a contemporary migrating heritage across Europe and beyond, drawing on interdisciplinary source material. The author argues that European migrating heritage encompasses not only the migration and mobility of post-colonial artefacts, but also the migration of people, technologies and disciplines, crossing boundaries and joining forces in cultural networks and partnerships to address new emerging challenges of social inclusion and cultural dialogue, new models of cultural identity, citizenship and national belonging. The book highlights the strengths and benefits from new cultural networking practices but also the challenges and issues that arise, how these could be addressed and what lessons can be learnt. It also sets out to answer the questions ‘how’. How can we leverage the power of cross-border cultural networks in a contested place such as Europe today? How can European cultural institutions elaborate the necessary approaches and strategies to achieve a type of cultural cooperation that is truly based on cultural practice? How can the actions of the European Commission and relevant cultural bodies in Europe be strengthened, adapted or extended to meet these goals? The book will be of interest to scholars and students in museum and cultural heritage studies, visual studies, sociology of organizations, cultural heritage management and information studies. It will also be relevant to practitioners and policymakers from museums, libraries, NGOs and cultural institutions at large.
