Three Paradigms of Heritage from the Perspective of Anthropology

Gong Jian (19)

【Abstract】Since the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage adopted, Anthropology, as well as History and Management etc. has given much more attention to heritage research, which brings increasingly rich research results. However, heritage research from the perspective of Anthropology still remains vague and scattered state. Throughout the current research, there are three main paths: text interpretation, genealogy carding and empirical research. But none of them pays enough attention to the overall protection of the main part of culture. In view of this, heritage research should urgently pay great attention to the cultural consciousness of the local community in heritage movement in China, in order to devise a new idea for the harmonious development of the local community and heritage protection.

All of them should be carried out around “the value of technology”, otherwise we can hardly give a real protection to industrial heritage from intension to extension.
