Textual Heritage (eBook, PDF)

Locating Textual Practices Across Heritage and the Humanities
Redaktion: Gerlini, Edoardo; Giolai, Andrea

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The relationship between texts and the field of cultural heritage remains ill-defined. Although scholarship has long recognized the importance of textual practices in mediating cultural identity and memory, the emphasis heritage studies places on authentic, material traces downplays the unique impact of their creative transmission and appropriation. Focusing on the afterlives of written artifacts and the re-use of their textual contents, primarily within East Asia, Textual Heritage highlights how textual practices offer a lens for understanding questions of canonization, embodiment, and circulation. Through case studies ranging from Japanese court music to digital editions, this volume advances a theory of "humanistic heritage studies" that better understands the overlap between literary and heritage studies.
