22 Aug 1998TL;DR: Morris as discussed by the authors argues that the popular cultures creating history in these spaces is never simply onationalO in scale or force, and argues that cultural theorists need to take time to understand.
Abstract: What good is history to cultural studies? Who wants history, anyway? What can ohistoryO mean to the study of aesthetics in everyday life, and how can feminist cultural criticism participate in major public, political struggles over the meaning of the past? In this book, Meaghan Morris rejects the amnesiac model of postmodern culture: she takes issue both with currents of contemporary cultural theory that imagine a world obeyondO history, and with feminist approaches to culture that minimise questions of economy, class, and nation. Setting aside the study of historical narratives in media texts, she looks at struggles over ohistoryO in social settings created by capitalism: in tourist landscapes, and in television time. The materials of her analysis areNtowers, motels, shopping malls, beach scenes, local political combat zones. She focuses on history and cultural heritage as intensely conflicted issues for white working class and poor heritage as intensely conflicted issues for white working class and poor suburban communities, as well as for urban cultural elites. However, the popular cultures creating history in these spaces is never simply onationalO in scale or force. As local, regional, and global economic pressures and cultural influences interact in different places, enduring new forms of politics are emerging that cultural theorists need to take time to understand. Too Soon Too Late builds on Claire JohnstonOs early work in feminist film history to ask how critics can learn more responsively to see history in popular culture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the local context in which the pragmatics and poetics of archaeological tourism are orchestrated, demonstrating the insufficiency of studies focused exclusively on the role of nationalism/nationalist discourse in contemporary constructions of the past.
Abstract: Peru offers important perspectives for understanding the presence of the past, particularly as expressed on various landscapes of national and local identity, social and political power, and economic development. As Peru's archaeological past is converted into a vast tourist project, contradictory, negotiated, and contested relationships are played out in a constantly changing drama, with ruins, indigenous people, ordinary city residents, foreign tourists, the Peruvian government, and the private sector as the actors. Concerned with how representations of the past are created and received differently by various groups in Peru, particularly in Cusco and Nazca, I show the importance of concentrating attention on the local context in which the pragmatics and poetics of archaeological tourism are orchestrated, demonstrating the insufficiency of studies focused exclusively on the role of nationalism/nationalist discourse in contemporary constructions of the past.

TL;DR: This study investigates how value is created by this new and cutting-edge technology and provides a practical guide for enhancing customer value in the whole value creation process.
Abstract: The heritage industry often seeks new ways to attract and engage new visitors. However, managers of Cultural Heritage sites face a lack in marketing and competiveness. One of the ways to obtain competitive advantage is the investment and implementation of Augmented Reality on-site. This study investigates how value is created by this new and cutting-edge technology and provides a practical guide for enhancing customer value. An increased understanding of the topic should result in a growing adaption. Although there is research in the field of Augmented Reality and Cultural Heritage, the papers focus only on certain factors of value creation. The purpose of this study was however to provide a holistic overview of the whole value creation process. This represents a completely new area of research and opens a wide range of further research opportunities.
