CULTURAL HERITAGE RESEARCH (see pages 5-8 for my archaeological work)
My overriding interest is in the cultural politics and economics of local, national and
international appropriations and representations of the past as these play out in the built
environment. That focus necessarily involves attention to the intersections among production of
social space, community sustainability, construction of identity, memory, tourism, globalization,
authenticity, nation branding, and heritage management policy. I’ve conducted a series of
research projects – brief and extended – around these interests such as:
• an analysis the controversial “neo-Inca” embellishment of the historic center of Cuzco,
Peru
• the contrasting scripts of Cuzco’s two archaeological museums
• the production and consumption of “quick” heritage – “heritage on the go” – in airports,
hotels and restaurants in Thailand, Korea, and Peru
• nation-branding in Peru as expressed in tourism advertising in print and web formats
• how spectacular ancient burials in Lambayeque, Peru have been manipulated politically
at the national level and deployed at the regional level to promote local identity
• the performance of intangible cultural heritage counterposed with the benefits and
drawbacks of World Heritage status as seen through the eyes of local stakeholders, with
particular reference to Thailand.
