Displaced Heritage

Considerations of the effect of trauma on heritage sites.The essays in
this volume address the displacement of natural and cultural heritage caused by disasters,
whether they be dramatic natural impacts or terrible events unleashed by humankind,
including holocaust and genocide. Disasters can be natural or human-made, rapid or slow,
great or small, yet the impact is effectively the same; nature, people and cultural heritage
are displaced or lost. Yet while heritage and place are at risk from disasters, in
time,sites of suffering are sometimes reframed as sites of memory; through this different
lens these "e;difficult"e; places become heritage sites that attract
tourists. Ranging widely chronologically and geographically, the contributors explore the
impact of disasters, trauma and suffering on heritage and sense of place, in both theory and
practice. Kai Erikson, Catherine Roberts, Philip R. Stone, Stephen Miles,
