- Inhalt
- This seminar intends to reflect on Scotland s cultural heritage as an important national asset with a focus on cities. Instead of the country s natural heritage, which is often favoured in analyses of Scotland s past, we will assess its particularly urban heritage. After a first, general overview of Scotland s eight major cities (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Perth, Stirling, and Dunfermline), we will explore various approaches to urban heritage in cultural memory studies and urban theory. In the following sessions, we will then focus on particular aspects of urban heritage in Scottish cities pertaining to architecture and monuments, industrial heritage and regeneration, art and cultural industries, literature and film as well as public memory.
