Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores the complex negotiations and contested meanings surrounding cultural heritage, including the repatriation of ancestral remains, the exhibition of difficult histories like slavery, and the engagement with traumatic pasts at memorial sites. It examines how heritage is legally classified, institutionally presented, and publicly received, considering issues of ownership, dispossession, and collective memory.
