Istasse interrogates how heritage appears (or not) when inhabitants undertake construction and restoration projects in their homes, furnish and decorate their spaces, talk about their affective and sensual relations with houses, face conflicts in and about their houses, and more. Shedding light on the continuum between houses-as-dwellings and houses-as-heritage, the author establishes heritage as a trajectory: heritage as a quality results from a ‘surplus of attention’ and relates to nostalgia or to a feeling of threat, loss, and disappearance; to values related to purity, materiality, and time; and to actions of preservation and transmission. Living in a World Heritage site provides a grammar of heritage that will allow scholars to question key notions of temporality and nostalgia, the idea of culture, the importance of experts, and moral principles in relation to heritage sites around the globe.Palgrave Studies in Urban Anthropology,2946-2444EthnologySociology, UrbanEthnology—Middle EastCultureEthnographySociocultural AnthropologyUrban SociologyMiddle Eastern CultureEthnology.Sociology, Urban.Ethnology—Middle East.Culture.Ethnography.Sociocultural Anthropology.Urban Sociology.Middle Eastern Culture.964.3Istasse Manonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063709BOOK9910337716003321Living in a World Heritage Site2534107UNINA
