Abstract: |
The study investigates ways in which people understand standing `heritage' buildings and structures in the landscape, with particular attention to visual understanding. It also looks at some of the roles that `heritage' structures in the landscape play in the negotiation of identity at national, European and local levels. These investigations are then used to contribute to the debate regarding the `value of heritage' in contemporary society. Group interaction from a series of family focus groups was analysed and indicated sets of socially constructed mental images, termed visual repertoire. A second element to the thesis is focusing activity. Through this the multiple meaning of visual repertoire are allowed to work, either smoothing over conflicts between multiple meanings or giving rise to conflict and leading to contested landscapes. The implications for the `value of heritage' debate are subsequently discussed, with the conclusion that `heritage' has both multiple meaning and multiple natures. |
