DUE: 10 December, 2026 Cultural heritage is continually interpreted, preserved and transformed through changing historical, social and artistic contexts. This session builds on this and examines how societies construct, transmit and reassess cultural memory through objects, monuments, artworks, archives and historic environments. We argue that within history and art history, such processes raise important questions about authenticity, authorship, representation and the changing meanings attached to cultural artefacts and sites.
