    • Beyond Presentism: Heritage and the Temporality of Things 

      Bangstad, Torgeir Rinke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-27)
      Heritage is often seen as a symptom of a temporally disjointed and all-pervasive present which shapes the pasts it requires to make up for the failures of linear, modern and progressive history. As a consequence, the pasts in heritage are often regarded as the result of unidirectional processes of attributing value to largely compliant materials. This article explores the constitutive role of materials ...
    • Living with Heritage: Involuntary Entanglements of the Anthropocene – An Introduction 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs; Bangstad, Torgeir Rinke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-20)
      Heritage has come to be understood as a set of valued objects, landscapes and prac-tices to be preserved and maintained for the benefit of present and future generations (Harrison 2020, 20–31). In recent years, commitments to safeguard and care for heritage have proliferated, fuelled by perceptions of threat that urge caretakers to act before it is too late (Holtorf 2015; DeSilvey and Harrison 2020). ...
    • Minnesøkologi og den uregjerlige industriarven 

      Bangstad, Torgeir Rinke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)

Drawing on new materialist theory and media ecology, the ambition of this ...
    • Nærvær og presentisme: om synet på fortiden i nyere historieteori 

      Bangstad, Torgeir Rinke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Much recent theorizing in philosophy of history has revolved around the idea of enduring, persistent pasts as opposed to the proto-modern sense of time which presupposes a neat break between the absent past and the present. This article draws on examples from memory studies, archaeology, art history, law and theory of history to explain the idea of the persistence of the past, and to suggest ...
    • Verdens speil og tingenes gravsted: Om metaforbruk og «gjøren» i museologien 

      Bangstad, Torgeir Rinke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      I løpet av de siste fire tiårene har museene blitt gjenstand for en rekke kritiske analyser som tar utgangspunkt i den innflytelsen museene har som kunnskaps- og dannelsesinstitusjoner og den rollen de har spilt historisk for eksempel i ulike nasjonsbyggingsprosesser. I denne artikkelen vil jeg drøfte to metaforer – museet som speil og museet som gravsted – som har øvd stor innflytelse på hvordan ...
