Affect and empathy : thinking about the power of material things to move visitors

    Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

    Abstract

    Some of those of us who work in the fields of archaeology and heritage studies are trying to get a better understanding of this kind of ‘place attachment’ so that we can find an approach to heritage conservation that preserves places not just as bricks and mortar but as sites that real people have real histories with.
