TY - JOUR AB - <p>This paper discusses the constitution and mechanics of the ‘scales’ of heritage: local heritage, national heritage and World Heritage, and draws attention to the differences between the ways in which these scales relate to one another in theory and in practice. A case study from Australia is used to illustrate the tension and interaction between the three heritage scales. Particular emphasis is given to how certain ideas drawn from postcolonial thought and theories of globalisation can help archaeologists and heritage managers to understand better these complex interactions, and to how this knowledge can contribute to theorising archaeological heritage management.</p> AU - Darrin Long DA - 2005/11// DO - 10.5334/pia.247 IS - 0 VL - 16 PB - University College London (UCL) PY - 2005 TI - The Constitution and Mechanics of the ‘scales’ of Heritage: Sociopolitical Dimensions T2 - Papers from the Institute of Archaeology UR - https://student-journals.ucl.ac.uk/pia/article/id/121/ ER -
