| Title: | Towards a new imagination of Europe? The politics of contentious heritage in institutional and everyday performances |
| Description: | This paper introduces contentious heritage as a way to draw on the past for reflection, controversy and debate. It directs attention to contentious heritage as an attitude, performed in everyday live, by artists, and increasingly by institutions. Based on ethnographic research, it is argued that heritage performances on the local, regional and popular level may well be a step on the path towards a new imagination of Europe, where the divisive dimensions of heritage are combined with a respectful and inclusive attitude, rather than toxic expressions of othering. |
| Keywords: | contentious heritage, ethnography, imagination, Europe, performativity, everyday life, public performance. |
