Heritage management

The Heritage Management section welcomes contributions that fall within the scope of Critical Heritage Studies and offer an in-depth reflection on contemporary models, practices, and instruments of heritage management, considering the conceptual, epistemological, social, and technological challenges currently facing Heritage Sciences and Techniques.

In a context of increasing social, cultural, and environmental complexity, heritage management is understood as a dynamic and situated process that articulates scientific knowledge, institutional frameworks, public policies, and social practices.

We welcome papers that address heritage management in contexts of change, the transformation of governance models, the relationships among preservation, education, and cultural mediation, as well as the challenges posed by digital technologies, sustainability, and social responsibility. Contributions are expected to combine theoretical reflection with analysis of practices, case studies, or ongoing processes. Proposals from different disciplinary areas that mobilise critical, interdisciplinary and reflective perspectives are welcome.
