Living Heritage in a Changing World
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-87430-2 (ISBN)
This book critically re-examines nomadic heritage, capturing socio-cultural transformations and engaging in an ontological inquiry into living heritage. By bridging theory and practice, as well as tangible and intangible heritage, it redefines heritage’s intrinsic logic in a changing world. Focusing on the ger, a dwelling central to Mongolian nomadic life, it analyses the continuity and transformation of ger practices. Using ethnographic research, it highlights the human-material-environment dynamic and the agency of multiple stakeholders in shaping heritage.
This work is a key contribution to living heritage and nomadic heritage studies, offering valuable insights for scholars, professionals and those interested in nomadic culture.
