Pro-active Dissonant Heritage Management

Horror, death and atrocities have become established
commodities in today s society and the production and
management of the darkest elements of human history
are posing various challenges. One of these
challenges is represented by the dissonance potential
that is assumed to be implicit in each phase of the
heritage production, management and consumption
process.
On account of this, this book aims at proving or
disproving the above mentioned hypothesis. Hence, a
deeper insight into the field of heritage with a
special focus on atrocity heritage will be provided,
in addition to an analysis of conflicts and
dissonances that are likely to occur within the
management and production process of atrocity
heritage. Moreover, a variety of case studies will
clarify the dissonance dilemma and will provide the
basis for the recommendations for dissonance
reduction and dissonance avoidance that will be
given. The case study of the seaside resort of the
20,000 once more, will illustrate the issue of
discords.

Klappentext

Horror, death and atrocities have become established
commodities in today's society and the production and
management of the darkest elements of human history
are posing various challenges. One of these
challenges is represented by the dissonance potential
that is assumed to be implicit in each phase of the
heritage production, management and consumption
process.

On account of this, this book aims at proving or
disproving the above mentioned hypothesis. Hence, a
deeper insight into the field of heritage with a
special focus on atrocity heritage will be provided,
in addition to an analysis of conflicts and
dissonances that are likely to occur within the
management and production process of atrocity
heritage. Moreover, a variety of case studies will
clarify the dissonance dilemma and will provide the
basis for the recommendations for dissonance
reduction and dissonance avoidance that will be
given. The case study of the 'seaside resort of the
20,000' once more, will illustrate the issue of
discords.
