Preface
The global rise of heritage studies and heritage industry in recent decades has been a story of crossing frontiers and transcending boundaries. The 2018 Association of Critical Heritage Studies (ACHS) Conference thus takes borders as a broadly defined, yet key, concept for better understanding how heritage is valued, preserved, politicized, mobilized, financed, planned and destroyed. Thinking through borders raises questions about theories of heritage, its methodologies of research and where its boundaries lie with tourism, urban development, post-disaster recovery, collective identities, climate change, memory or violent conflict. Held in the city of Hangzhou, China, Heritage Across Borders has connected international participants with local issues, and in so doing opened up debates about the ruralurban, eastwest, tangibleintangible and other familiar divides.
Since it was formed in the early 2010s, ACHS has held three conferences in Gteborg (Sweden, 2012), Canberra (Australia, 2014) and Montreal (Canada, 2016) with the number of participants growing. As the largest conference of its kind in Asia, the fourth edition attracted over 460 participants from different disciplines.
The 2018 ACHS Conference features one public speech delivered by Prof. Michael Herzfeld from Hartford University and five keynote speeches from: Prof. David J. Bodenhamer at Indiana UniversityPurdue University Indianapolis; Prof. Jianming Cai at Chinese Academy of Sciences; Prof. Le Cheng at Zhejiang University; Prof. Nelson H. Graburn at University of California, Berkeley; and Prof. Michael Rowlands at University College London.
