Re-emerging Pasts
A research and publication trajectory on histories, memories and heritage narratives that have been marginalised, suppressed, neglected or are returning to public debate. In 2025, the research group produced its first publication: Future Stories in the Global Heritage Industry, published by Routledge and edited by Alia Yunis, Robert Parthesius and Niccolò Acram Cappalletto. The volume examines how communities in the Global South experience, negotiate and reinterpret the global heritage industry, especially in relation to UNESCO World Heritage designation and dominant heritage narratives.
Research focus
When histories return to public debate.
The trajectory centres narratives that have been marginalised, suppressed or neglected, and asks how communities reinterpret inherited heritage frameworks.
It connects questions of recognition and heritage justice to lived experience in the Global South.
