The book studies representations of the Other, their construction, Europeanization and use in Poland and Sweden in various heritage related contexts. The book accentuates the social inclusion, marginalization or – increasingly common in Scandinavian and Central European peripheries – exclusion.
The book studies how multiple representations of the Other are constructed, Europeanized and used in Poland and Sweden in various heritage related contexts (museums, cities, war cemeteries, commemoration sites etc.) in the second decade of the 21st century. In a more general sense, the authors raise the question of how otherness (in terms of culture, ethnicity, class, gender, etc.) is constructed and leads to its social inclusion, domestication, marginalization or – increasingly common in Scandinavian and Central European peripheries – exclusion.
