The Heritage, Creativity and Innovation Nexus: Critical Approaches and Interdisciplinary Perspectives explores the central role that innovation and creativity play in contemporary heritage practices.

Drawing on a rich body of in-depth case studies from around the world, the editors and authors interrogate the shifting connections between heritage, creativity and innovation. Presenting cutting-edge theoretical discussions written by leading experts, the volume explores the practices and significance of the heritage, creativity, and innovation nexus from a critical, interdisciplinary perspective. It interrogates key dimensions of the nexus, such as the creative economy and new digital technologies, as well as creative uses in politics, identity construction, and framing of history.
