What can heritage care gain from Critical Heritage Studies?

Vít Jesenský
NPÚ, ÚOP Střední Čechy

Critical heritage studies are a sovereign dynamic multidisciplinary field that deals with the concept of cultural heritage as a social process formed by communities and socio-political power. Despite the closeness of their objectives, the mutual discourse with heritage care as such is not very developed, and not only in the Czech Republic. The aim of this article is to identify and analyze part of the issues and outputs of heritage studies that may be beneficial or stimulating for the practice and theory of heritage care and to indicate the obstacles to such use. It draws attention to differences in the concept of cultural heritage and heritage properties, in the approach to practice, methodology, and in international discourse. Potential benefit is found in the mediation of the broader context of care for cultural heritage, in the deepening of interdisciplinarity in research, in possible cooperation in the analysis of the quality of heritage care, and in the broader conception of heritage values, especially social ones.

Keywords: critical heritage studies; cultural heritage; theoretical approaches; Czech heritage care
