jointly present
a Seminar
on
'OUR COMMON HERITAGE: NEW TOURIST NATIONS,
POSTSOCIALIST PEDAGOGY, AND THE GLOBALIZATION
OF NATURE IN RUSSIA AND CHINA'
(joint work with Jana Breidenbach)
This paper is about the differing ways in which the globalization of “heritage” by the
UNESCO’s World Heritage Programme is appropriated in two postsocialist countries with
booming tourism. While World Natural Heritage is used for tourism development in China,
it is deployed against it in Russia. The discussion of the reasons sheds light on the differing
modes of governmentality and visions of development in the two countries.
