Patrimonios confinados. Retos del patrimonio inmaterial ante el COVID-19
Los efectos del COVID-19 repercutieron, y de forma muy significativa, en el patrimonio cultural inmaterial, dado que la imposibilidad de realizar actividades y las restricciones de movilidad y aforo comportaron una afectación sin precedentes a su desarrollo habitual. La innovadora mirada que en este libro ofrecen académicos, gestores y miembros de asociaciones culturales permite conocer las consecuencias comunitarias, sociales y económicas del confinamiento en un amplio abanico de casos de patrimonio inmaterial de Europa y América, como las fiestas, la artesanía, los museos, la danza, la música y el turismo. En sus contribuciones, los autores presentan las distintas estrategias desplegadas para mantener vivas estas prácticas culturales (alternativas virtuales, nuevos formatos festivos, celebraciones restringidas y exposiciones, entre otros). Todas estas experiencias muestran no solo una gran capacidad de resiliencia, creatividad y reinvención, sino también la necesidad de aprender de este período dramático para revisar la sostenibilidad cultural del patrimonio inmaterial.
Usos políticos del patrimonio cultural
El patrimonio es con frecuencia motivo de conflictos, de oposiciones y de discrepancias políticas. Este libro analiza los usos políticos que se hacen de él en aspectos relacionados con las identidades, las luchas sociales, los enfrentamientos vecinales, las reivindicaciones de las sociedades indígenas e incluso en contextos de guerra, a partir del estudio de casos etnográficos procedentes de Latinoamérica, Europa y España. Los autores, a través de sus exploraciones en la museografía y las políticas culturales, van más allá del análisis del patrimonio para interrogarse sobre los escenarios y los discursos por los que discurren los mecanismos de apropiación y confrontación en el campo patrimonial.
Hydrosocial Territories and Water Equity
Bringing together a multidisciplinary set of scholars and diverse case studies from across the globe, this book explores the management, governance, and understandings around water, a key element in the assemblage of hydrosocial territories. Hydrosocial territories are spatial configurations of people, institutions, water flows, hydraulic technology and the biophysical environment that revolve around the control of water. Territorial politics finds expression in encounters of diverse actors with divergent spatial and political–geographical interests; as a result, water (in)justice and (in)equity are embedded in these socio-ecological contexts. The territory-building projections and strateg...

Museums and Digital Culture
This book explores how digital culture is transforming museums in the 21st century. Offering a corpus of new evidence for readers to explore, the authors trace the digital evolution of the museum and that of their audiences, now fully immersed in digital life, from the Internet to home and work. In a world where life in code and digits has redefined human information behavior and dominates daily activity and communication, ubiquitous use of digital tools and technology is radically changing the social contexts and purposes of museum exhibitions and collections, the work of museum professionals and the expectations of visitors, real and virtual. Moving beyond their walls, with local and globa...
The Global Encyclopaedia of Informality, Volume 2
Alena Ledeneva invites you on a voyage of discovery to explore society’s open secrets, unwritten rules and know-how practices. Broadly defined as ‘ways of getting things done’, these invisible yet powerful informal practices tend to escape articulation in official discourse. They include emotion-driven exchanges of gifts or favours and tributes for services, interest-driven know-how (from informal welfare to informal employment and entrepreneurship), identity-driven practices of solidarity, and power-driven forms of co-optation and control. The paradox, or not, of the invisibility of these informal practices is their ubiquity. Expertly practised by insiders but often hidden from outsid...

The book is divided into four sections. Part I, ’The Emotional Museum’ examines the balance between empathic and emotional engagement and an objective, rational understanding of ’history’. Part II, ’Challenging Collaborations’ explores the opportunities and pitfalls associated with collective, inclusive representati...

Heritage and Social Media
Heritage and Social Media explores how social media reframes our understanding and experience of heritage. Through the idea of ‘participatory culture’ the book begins to examine how social media can be brought to bear on the encounter with heritage and on the socially produced meanings and values that individuals and communities ascribe to it. To highlight the specific changes produced by social media, the book is structured around three major themes: Social Practice. New ways of understanding and experiencing heritage are emerging as a result of novel social practices of collection, representation, and communication enabled and promoted by social media. Public Formation. In the presence...
