The Power of Heritage Norms
This article brings Norm Circle Theory (NCT) into dialogue with Critical Heritage Theory (CHT) to examine normative authority in the heritage field. Although strands of CHT that draw on discourse analysis and assemblage approaches illuminate the ideological formations shaping heritage and the relationships between humans, cultural objects and nature, they often operate with a relatively “flat” ontology that tends to leave the causal powers and on…
Temporal regimes in heritage and urban planning
This article develops the notion of temporal regimes to analyse how time is ordered, valued and linked in the intertwined fields of heritage and urban planning. Heritage studies have long emphasised that ‘the past’ is actively constructed in the present, while planning theory has highlighted the future-oriented nature of planning. Yet the temporal logics that structure these practices are often treated implicitly. Drawing on sociological and hist…
Aligning heritage governance logics in Norway
Cultural heritage governance in Norway, as in many countries, is organised through a sectoral split: built heritage and cultural landscapes are managed by environmental authorities, while museums and other cultural policy instruments fall under the Ministry of Culture. This conceptual article asks whether that split matters for lay experiences of heritage and for the perceived relevance and legitimacy of governance, and how cultural policy can re…
The significance of culture for social sustainability – a discussion of cultural security and insecurity in neighbourhoods
Creating a socially sustainable city will often encompass strategies to ensure that the different communities are “cohesive” and that the many neighbourhoods are diverse to prevent residential segregation. However, the literature on diverse communities and urban diversity has detailed processes of avoidance, exclusion, and friction as well as addressed the coping mechanisms that some residents develop. In this paper, we analyse ethnographic data …
Re-framing authorised heritage discourse (AHD) within a realist explanatory framework
Employing a realist ontology of discourse, this theoretical paper aims to clarify some assumptions that form the theoretical backdrop of the authorised heritage discourse (AHD) that remain under-theorised, particularly its philosophical under-labouring that draws on critical realism (CR) and critical discourse analysis (CDA). The review conducted for this paper on studies utilising the concept of the AHD demonstrated that despite the efforts to e…
Assemblage urbanism
Purpose The paper explores the potential value of urban assemblage theory as a conceptual framework for understanding the role heritage has in social sustainable urban placemaking. The authors conceptualise urban placemaking as a dynamic and complex social assemblage. Heritage is one of the many dimensions of such a complex and dynamic urban assembly. Based on the approach to urban assemblage theory, the authors aim to uncover how postindustrial …
The emotional element of urban densification
In this paper, we will delve into a somewhat unexplored element of urban densification – namely, people’s emotional responses to physically and socially densified neighbourhoods. Undoubtedly, there is a vast amount of scholarship on the advantages of dense and compact environments over urban sprawl. While scholars tend to highlight the environmental benefits, few studies scrutinise how people living in areas marked for intense urban development r…
Visualising the past for the future
Peterson, Norway, was a former cellulose factory that is in the process of being transformed into new usage. A landmark at the premises is the “digester,” a high-rise steel structure used to make cellulose before the factory closed in 2012. The digester is now facing an uncertain material future, but this does not keep it from being represented and remembered in different ways. Peterson is also known for its elephant logo, which has been resemiot…
Remembering and reconfiguring industrial heritage
In Moss, Norway, a former cellulose factory is currently being adapted for new uses. The onsite digester, a high-rise steel structure that was used to make cellulose before the factory closed in 2012, is a landmark on the premises. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage has not designated heritage status to the digester, although it constitutes heritage for many who used to work at the factory. The digester now faces an uncertain material future, …
Selling homes
In this article, we will demonstrate how a social semiotic reading of a housing advertisement campaign differs from the audience reception of it. We have talked to the campaign’s producer – the Norwegian housing developer Block Watne – whose reflections are somewhat different from our own. The producer emphasises a policy of selling homes by choosing certain semiotic resources at the expense of others; however, in contrast to our academic reading…
Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development
The concept of sustainable development continues to influence urban planning, and one of the strategies planners use to generate sustainable urban growth is the densification of urban districts. Because densification projects often take place in historic environments, however, this model might represent a challenge to the preservation of cultural heritage. With its emphasis on economic, social and environmental concerns, the popular tripartite su…
A Suburban Dreamscape Outshining Urbanism
Cities and suburbs are often constructed as different socio-spatial entities to afford different ways of life. Although that dichotomy has been challenged, it has maintained its popularity in academic discourse. As with many European cities, the municipality of Oslo—the capital of Norway—is experiencing population growth. To provide sufficient accommodation for its inhabitants, the municipality has adopted a compact-city strategy to prevent urban…
Discourse analysis and non-representational theories in heritage studies
In the last ten years or so, we have witnessed a shift towards so-called non-representational theories in heritage studies. In non-representational theories, one is interested in cognition, affect, and emotion, as well as textual or visual representations of heritage. This turn can be viewed as a prolongation of the popular approach of analysing heritage as discourse, in which heritage is viewed as a cultural process from which the objects of her…
What’s wrong with heritage experts? An interdisciplinary discussion of experts and expertise in heritage studies
The role of heritage experts has become a prominent topic in the heritage studies literature. Proclaiming that ‘we are all heritage experts’, one of the striking features of the interest in experts within the heritage literature is the tendency to confine the discussion to the issue area of heritage, rather than situating it within the wider multidisciplinary discussion on the role of experts in modern democratic societies. Taking inspiration for…
Views, use and reception of visualisations of development proposals impacting cultural heritage
Visualisations of land-use projects have become an important part of the planning process. Using a survey of heritage professionals’ attitudes towards visualisations as a starting point, this article addresses tensions between the expressed usefulness of visualisations and critical attitudes towards the lack of ‘objectivity’ of visual representation and the risk of manipulation for strategic purposes. Moving from the survey, the article discusses…
Uses of Heritageand beyond
Uses of Heritage (2006) has been an important contribution to the development of Heritage Studies. Resting on a thorough 're-read' of this modern classic, the article analyses the text applying some central concepts from Critical Discourse Analysis and Critical Realism in order to review the arguments put forward. One of the linguistic features from Critical Discourse Analysis we draw on is 'nominalization', which refers to replacing verb process…
Cultural Heritage and Ecosystem Services
During the last decade, we have witnessed an increased interest in Ecosystem Services (ES), including the so-called 'cultural ecosystem services' and its subcategory of 'cultural heritage'. In this article, a review of academic literature of ES and cultural heritage is carried out. ES has primarily been developed by scholars from the ecological and economic disciplines, and in this article, we discuss how this impacts the way in which cultural he…
What may culture contribute to urban sustainability? Critical reflections on the uses of culture in urban development in Oslo and beyond
Culture and capital play vital roles in urban change. This paper provides a discussion of the relation between culture and capital, followed by a discussion of their relation in the urban context, including an empirical example from Oslo, Norway. Emphasis will be put on the role of culture in the creative city thesis and how culture relates to the concept of urban sustainability. A critique of neoliberal and instrumental uses of culture in the cr…
A Museum Cruise in Foul Waters
This article analyzes the debate that ensued from a suggestion to relocate three Norwegian Viking ships from Bygdøy to Bjørvika. People do not only debate the ships' material vulnerability but they also express different views of what a modern museum is and should be. Some want to upgrade and preserve the existing museum, while others want to relocate the ships and integrate them in a wider culture-led urban regeneration agenda. The ships are tor…
