Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A nostalgic interest in the past is a well-recognized feature of fast-changing, contemporary societies. It finds its expression in a variety of history-making practices of which the establishment of local heritage museums is a major manifestation in many parts of the world today. Katriel develops a communication-centered perspective on the study of heritage museums and -- by extension -- other tourist sites, highlighting the role of discourse in these institutionalized, yet vernacular contexts of cultural production, social legitimation, and identity formation. Descriptive and critical in orientation, this book combines a close analysis of museum discourse with an exploration of such larger issues as: \* the socio-cultural role of museums as arenas for the production of collective memory, \* the ideological and performative constraints that shape museum presentations, \* the interfacing of verbal and visual codes of communication in the context of material displays, \* the dialectical interplay of the local and the global in contemporary life, and \* the interpenetration of the personal and the communal in vernacular processes of narrative production.
