Centered in academic theory in the area of exhibiting culture, Performing Heritage seeks to explore the art and politics of cultural representation. Focusing on the idea of the living exhibit, author Navina Jafa employs her decades-long career in the field of academic cultural tourism and the performing arts to develop a uniquely critical frame and methodology for engaging with cultures in a dynamic and performative manner. The book argues that heritage walks are necessarily creative and academically invested, and can be an effective medium for rethinking the disciplines of history, sociology and conservation and the challenges they face in contemporary post-colonial India.
