Description
Against Cultural Property: Archaeology, Heritage and Ownership by John Carman The concept of cultural property is widely used in heritage management, but its meaning and implications are rarely discussed. This radical work challenges the dominant ideas surrounding ownership and care of material from the past. By examining different types of property relations, the book presents an argument that the notion of 'property' is inappropriate for cultural objects. Carman explores four main types of property relation, considering their impact on cultural heritage. The result is a thought-provoking critique of the status quo in heritage management. This volume is part of the Debates in Archaeology series, which addresses contemporary debates and issues in the field. Through its examination of property relations, Against Cultural Property offers a fresh perspective on the care and ownership of cultural objects.
