CONNECTING THINGS (VOLUME V, PUBLICATION SERIES OF THE RESEARCH TRAINING GROUP IDENTITY AND HERITAGE)

Interdisciplinary Research on Identity and Heritage, Publication Series of the DFG Research Training Group 2227, Volume V. With contributions from speakers at the 6th Annual Conference of the Research Training Group and further selected contributions. Edited by Janna Vogl, Ayşegül Dinççağ Kahveci, Mariam Gegidze, Pablo Santacana López


Those researching on identity and heritage constructs examine objects, places, or traditions, revealing connections to objects that are symbolically charged in multiple ways and can become relevant as heritage for different groups.
The 5th volume of the Research Training Group “Identity and Heritage” focuses on the relationships that are formed and (de-)stabilized by objects and their social contexts.  The contributions in this volume explore the tension between the reinforcement of supposed continuity and the motivation for change that material aspects of heritage can bring. They address the role of affects, question the instrumentalization of things in heritage processes, examine what can be understood as ‘substance’, and explore how material ‘remnants’ are dealt with.
What exactly are things, items, or objects – and what significance do they have for inheritance practices?
