Description: Wall Memorials and Heritage : The Heritage Industry of Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie, Hardcover by Frank, Sybille; Spengler, Jessica (TRN), ISBN 1138782939, ISBN-13 9781138782938, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Recent cultural and spatial turns in the Humanities and Social Sciences have led to a rising interest in heritage studies. The literature has however so far failed to include a systematic overview of the theoretical perspectives on "heritage," the commodification of heritage, or the globalizing heritage book offers a comprehensive overview of the interdisciplinary international heritage debate and analyzes the transformation of Berlin's former Allied border control point, "Checkpoint Charlie," into a global heritage industry site. This crucial case study demonstrates that an unregulated global heritage industry has developed in Berlin which capitalizes on the internationally very attractive - but locally still very painful - heritage of theBerlin Wall. Productively integrating theory with empirical evidence, this innovativ enriches the international literature on heritage and its economic and political contexts.
