By investigating a series of recent crises in each of these areas, Securing the Past shows how their underlying justifications relate closely to one another. Paul Eggert shows how they have been philosophically undermined by postmodern theories and charts another, richer way forward to a new future for the past.

L'accroissement des échanges internationaux et la multiplication des références identitaires, tout en aplanissant les vieilles frontières nationales, ont établi l'environnement immédiat de chacun comme espace privilégié de représentation ; puis, un beau matin, tout pouvait être «patrimoine». «Patrimoines pour le XXIe siècle» explore ce nouvel univers de possibles, né d'un big bang référentiel qui a entremêlé les images, au point où l'on consacre maintenant des bazars, des t-shirts et des vêtements de hockey, tout en construisant fièrement des «places de Vosges» à Montréal et des maisons bretonnes près de Paris. Cependant, pour dépaysant qu'il soit, ce monde à l'envers de la patrimonialisation nous rend-t'il vraiment un reflet nouveau de nous-même?

Summary:
Since at least Tudor times there have been architectural salvages : panelling, chimney pieces, doorways, or any fixtures and fittings might be removed from an old interior to be replaced by more fashionable ones. Not surprisingly a trade developed and architects, builders, masons, and sculptors sought out these salvages. By 1820 there was a growing profession of brokers(...)

Summary:
Since at least Tudor times there have been architectural salvages : panelling, chimney pieces, doorways, or any fixtures and fittings might be removed from an old interior to be replaced by more fashionable ones. Not surprisingly a trade developed and architects, builders, masons, and sculptors sought out these salvages. By 1820 there was a growing profession of brokers and dealers in London, and a century later antique shops were commonplace throughout England. This fascinating book documents the break-up, sale, and re-use of salvages in Britain and America, where the fashion for so-called "Period Rooms" became a mainstay of the transatlantic trade. Much appreciated by museum visitors, period rooms have become something of a scholarly embarrassment, as research reveals that many were assembled from a variety of sources. One American embraced the trade as no other - the larger-than-life William Randolph Hearst - who purchased tens of thousands of architectural salvages between 1900 and 1935.
