Summary/Abstract: In the history of the reception of cultural heritage, one notes a systematic shift in the focus of attention from material to intangible bearers of value at the beginning of the 21st century. The roots of this change in approach lay in the deconstruction of modernist doctrine and the aspiration to base our dealings with heritage on an understanding of traditional value systems and the maintenance of social continuity. Over the past two decades, the theory of cultural heritage protection and conservation has undergone a revolution, based upon geographic, historical, and cultural contextualisation and on placing people at its heart. William Logan presents this shift, which runs through theory, doctrine, and practice, as due to our having realised that heritage is incarnated in people and not in inanimate objects (Logan 2007).
