Heritage value discourses.
Current theoretical discussions on the preservation of cultural heritage

This paper will summarise the current theoretical discussions in heritage science (image vs. substance, aesthetic value vs. historical value; identity and alterity) and will reflect in particular on the discipline's evaluation (Denkmalbewertung) of immanent conceptions of history. With reference to the discrepancy between an increasingly boundless definition of the historical monument and a practice which focusses on classical monuments the current options for the preservation of immaterial and intellectual heritage will be discussed.
