Description: Wall Memorials and Heritage by Sybille Frank Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "Originally published in German as Der Mauer um die Wette gedenken: Die Formation einer Heritage-Industrie am Berliner Checkpoint Charlie" -- Title page verso. Publisher Description Analysing the transformation of Berlins former Allied border control point, "Checkpoint Charlie," into a global heritage industry, this volume provides an introduction to, and a theoretically informed structuring of, the interdisciplinary international heritage debate. This crucial case study demonstrates that an unregulated global heritage industry has developed in Berlin which capitalizes on the internationally very attractive – but locally still very painful – heritage of the Berlin Wall. Frank explores the conflicts that occur when private, commercial interests in interpreting and selling history to an international audience clash with traditional, institutionalized public forms of local and national heritage-making and commemorative practices, and with the victims perspectives.Wall Memorials and Heritage illustrates existing approaches to heritage research and develops them in dialogue with Berlins traditions of conveying history, and the specific configuration of the heritage industry at "Checkpoint Charlie". Productively integrating theory with empirical evidence, this innovative book enriches the international literature on heritage and its economic and political contexts. Author Biography Sybille Frank is Professor in the School of Planning, Department of Sociology at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany.
