Critical Cultural Heritage Studies

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: IS707F

Critical Cultural Heritage Studies is a masters-level course at Malmö University that studies the significance of cultural heritage in relation to power processes in societies. In particular, intersectional power relationships and difficult/dissonant heritages are studied from the perspective that heritage is constructed in the present. Cultural heritage is not something static and powerless; it is something dynamic and potentially dangerous as various actors use history and heritage to control societies. This course will analyze and discuss actors and strategies when it comes to the creation and control of the present and future through the construction of a perceived past. The course is given together with our partner university in Scotland, University of the Highlands and Islands with participating teachers and students from that university. The course has web-based meetings (via Zoom) at fixed times.
