Cíle předmětu
This research seminar focuses on how the emerging cultural heritage discourse has influenced our conceptions about history, culture, and identity and led to the institutional development of heritage tourism in the increasingly globalized cultural landscape. In the first half of the course we are going to familiarize ourselves with the conceptual richness of the cultural heritage discourse and review some of the theoretical reflections on this expanding field. In the second half of the seminar we are going to look at case studies from across the globe: the Czech Republic and Hungary, Egypt and Canada, Scotland and Brazil, the United States and Guatemala. The format of the course is a combination of brief lectures and a controlled discussion of various assigned readings (including book chapters, journal articles, case studies, as well as policy documents). The students should be prepared to give concise presentations on the readings during the class meetings and carry out brief research tasks between them. The class convenes every other week on Thursdays between 10.30 and 13.45.
