Abstract
ABSTRACT Heritage always calls for inclusion, but when it comes to development, the inclusionary aspect of heritage is frequently undermined. In the contemporary era, the holistic heritage approach has frequently degraded into layers of ignorance and low-priority subjects. The neoliberal developmental paradigm alienated the community from their aesthetic and cultural values and forced them to move forward into a new era of development. This write-up encourages the community to participate in restoring the heritage elements in the city of Chandannagar by spreading the message ‘conserve and feel proud.’. The field report looks for ways to integrate utilitarian developmental perspectives with non-utilitarian cultural values and praxis in Chandannagar.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage is a new journal intended for participants, volunteers, practitioners, and academics involved in the many projects and practices broadly defined as ‘community archaeology’. This is intended to include the excavation, management, stewardship or presentation of archaeological and heritage resources that include major elements of community participation, collaboration, or outreach. The journal recognises the growing interest in voluntary activism in archaeological research and interpretation, and seeks to create a platform for discussion about the efficacy and importance of such work as well as a showcase for the dissemination of community archaeology projects (which might offer models of best practice for others). By inviting papers relating to theory and practice from across the world, the journal seeks to demonstrate both the diversity of community archaeology and its commonalities in process and associated theory. We seek contributions from members of the voluntary sector as well as those involved in archaeological practice and academia.
