Йерархия на наследствата: нов преглед на понятието „кръстопът на цивилизациите“

Резюме: The project examines the dynamics of heritage-making, knowledge construction and interactions of heritage and politics in contemporary Bulgaria. Through ethnographic research of three recent Bulgarian-French exhibitions at the Louvre Museum in Paris, focusing on Thracian, Bulgarian Medieval and Ottoman past, it seeks to highlight the interdependencies and hierarchies between various heritage layers ascribed to different historical periods. While these layers are often presented collectively as a rich and specific cultural mosaic, they tend to remain obscured within the overarching concept of the ‘crossroad of civilisations’. By unpacking this assemblage to study distinct heritage layers separately and comparatively, the project unveils significant disparities in their valorisations, thus revealing existing dominant discourses and cultural conventions. These processes of (de-)heritagisation are further examined within the regional and wider European contexts in order to better situate national heritage politics within the ‘global hierarchy of value’ (Herzfeld 2003) and explore to what extent and how nationally produced ideas of heritage and their manifestations relate to, reinforce or contest the notions of Europe’s core and periphery.
