| Abstract | This chapter focuses primarily on how 'heritage' is interpreted by various social actors, either individually or collectively. It is indicated that what is 'natural' is contested, heritage is a performance, and debates occur as to what is genuine, authentic or fake. Memories, too, are selective: victors in power struggles ignore or downplay shameful historical episodes in favour of those that show them in a favourable light, and World Heritage status is usually accorded only to sites that have gone through a rigorous negotiation process to determine which of them is of universal value (and reflects most favourably on the dominant government and interest groups of the time). |
