Synopsis

Speaking of heritage, inheritance can be meant, the traditional canon of cultural goods, or biological inheritance. In all cases, it is about generation-to-generation transmissions where continuity and change are in an exciting relationship. The chapters of the book examine important stations in the cultural, legal, religious and knowledge history of heritage from the Middle Ages to the present. At the centre is the break between pre-modern and modern. This gives the current interest in heritage a historical depth of field: which kinship models are the basis of modern inheritance law? Why do you think future generations will be interested in what is each defined as cultural heritage? And in the face of new developments in epigenetics, how is the cultural share in biological inheritance to be determined?
