Dissonantes Kunst- und Kulturerbe / Dissonant Cultural Heritage / Art et patrimoine culturel dissonants

Published in 2012 by transcript Verlag, this volume emerged from the academic discourse surrounding the preservation and interpretation of cultural sites that evoke historical trauma. It functions as a scholarly inquiry into the concept of 'dissonant heritage,' a term popularized by G.J. Ashworth to describe monuments or artifacts that provoke conflicting responses among different social groups.

Jonas Nesselhauf compiled and edited this work to explore how societies manage the burden of difficult histories. By gathering perspectives across German, English, and French, the text serves as a multifaceted resource for cultural researchers. It was received primarily within European academic circles as a necessary addition to the literature on memory culture and the ethics of architectural conservation.
