Why is it important?
The relationality of heritage sovereignty pushes for more serious attention to be paid to the politics of assemblage and the ongoing process of power–territorialization reconfiguration
Perspectives
Heritage nomination is very much about politics of knowledge, and the tension between rule of experts and communities. The special case of silk roads, as a cultural route, transcends borders of multiple countries, therefore offer a valuable site to study territoriality in post-Westphalian time.
