Belonging on the Move
The study investigates how adult migrants to Norway develop a sense of belonging through both attachment and mobility. Building on transnational and mobilities perspectives, it emphasizes embodied affect—the sensory and emotional experiences arising from everyday routines, movements, and interactions with place. Drawing on a three-stage, mixed-method design (life-history interviews, mapping, and walking interviews) and through narrative inquiry f…
City Governance, Participatory Democracy, and Cultural Heritage in Barcelona, 1986–2022
Citizen participation in Barcelona has undergone a gradual process of institutionalisation that has accelerated over the last ten years.Today, participatory governance in areas such as urban planning and the management of social spaces is a hallmark of the city.However, citizen participation is only now beginning to occur in cultural heritage and comes with certain limitations.Through three diachronic case studies, this article explores the archi…
The Role of Cultural Heritage in Norway’s Immigrant Integration Processes
Dissecting authorised participation in cultural heritage
Participatory processes are a democratic tool in the field of cultural heritage, but what happens when the whole process revolves around a set of expert premises? How symbolic and authoritative would such participation be? This article will reflect on the dynamics of citizen participation and the power of institutional narratives focused on urban cultural heritage. Thus, this work proposes a methodological review and discussion through a case stu…
Participation and cultural heritage management in Norway. Who, when, and how people participate
Participation in democracy has been suggested as an inherent value of democracy by allowing citizens to participate in political decision-making.Since the 2000s and, more particularly, after the creation of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Convention and the Council of Europe's Faro Convention, there has been a call for a participatory approach to heritage management.In 2008 Norway ratified the Faro Convention justifying the existence of s…
Memorializing forced migration and beyond. Commemorating Salvador Allende in Barcelona as memory-work in the context of civic memory and the politics of belonging
This paper argues that streets and squares performing commemorative events in relation to their assigned names could be seen as sites of memory. It focuses on how in these urban landmarks memories and legacies of exile could be addressed using public places as memory-work in the context of civic memory. To support these conclusions, I will analyse Barcelona’s square named after Salvador Allende to argue that the square and its yearly commemorativ…
Exploring participatory heritage governance after the EU Faro Convention
Purpose This paper aims to analyse the key Faro notions of “heritage community” and “democratic participation” as defined in the Faro Convention, and how they challenge core notions of authority and expertise in the discipline and professional practice of cultural heritage. Design/methodology/approach This paper examines notions of “heritage community” and “democratic participation” as they are framed in the Faro Convention, and it briefly introd…

Feeling like at home in airports
When analysed as network places for the mobility of subjects and objects, many descriptions refer to airports as placeless and meaningless spaces carrying no singular identity to themselves and to their users. This imagery does not necessarily fit with those people whose experiences are intrinsically linked to mobility as a recurrent early life style and as a part of their subjective identity. Drawing on affect theory this paper portrays an alter…
Stones, Books and Flags
Since the 1980s, Barcelona's local institutions have been pioneers in creating a close relationship between culture, urban regeneration, and the social and economic development of the city, and subsequently in implementing a new paradigm in cultural policy for entrepreneurial, cultural, and creative cities. As a consequence, the city has also become a model for place branding and cultural tourism. In this context, Born, an archaeological site of …
Heritage on the move. Cross-cultural heritage as a response to globalisation, mobilities and multiple migrations
Globalisation is creating new perceptions of social and cultural spaces as well as complex and diverse pictures of migration flows. This leads to changes in expressions of culture, identity, and belonging and thus the role of heritage today. I argue that common or dominant notions of heritage cannot accommodate these new cultural identities-in-flux created by and acting in a transplanetary networked and culturally deterritorialized world. To supp…

Archaeological Heritage Management and the Post-Valetta Scenario in the Netherlands
Reverse Archaeology propones archaeological knowledge as a source of inspiration for spatial planningdesign, aiming to give a practical output to research paid by developers when an area is affected by archaeologicalresources not suitable for in situ preservation and public enhance. The response shows that it provides a tool forimplementing Dutch Belvedere programme but does not actually give a comprehensive answer to the fullmanagement of archae…
Educational facilities in archaeological reconstructions
Today, the creation of archaeological parks, parks of archaeology or archaeological theme parks are opening up archaeological issues to the public and providing them with new forms of interpretative tools for understanding prehistoric times. In fact, these reconstructions of the past are increasingly considered the best tool for delivering clear and understandable images of a ‘broken’ past to the public. Nevertheless, it is still not clear how us…
