The publication addresses architectural conservation as a discipline that plays a vital role in the construction of identities, and therefore, is prone to being appropriated for political purposes. The publication contains 14 research papers that reflect diverse ideologised memorialisation processes and have been grouped by three sub-themes: destruction/reconstruction, transformation, and interpretation. The international contributors from diverse academic backgrounds discuss heritage politics in different cultural regions, nation-states, and political systems in order to investigate cases of ideologised heritage conservation and their relationship to religion, history, and politics.
