The politics of world heritage: visions, custodians, and futures of humanity
Albina Hoffman, a diplomatic studies lecturer, and Elif Kalaycioglu, a scholar of global heritage politics, discuss how World Heritage constructs visions of humanity, the politics of inscription and authority, shifts from monumental to vernacular values, contested atrocity sites, state reassertion, and tensions around custody, expertise, and identity in heritage politics.
