welcome

This blog is about cross-cultural heritage and globalization.

I am running an academic research project aiming to understand the significance and use of heritage in a globalized world. Whereas in the past heritage has been perceived and studied in terms of cultural artefacts, traditions, and places that generally belong to one particular nation's culture, now in a globalized world a cross-cultural heritage is emerging. That is because global nomads and cosmopolitan citizens give different meanings to the world surrounding them.

Here I will present my early explorations on these other expressions of cultural heritage, those that may better fit with global citizens’ collective memories.
