Heritage Dynamics
Understanding and Adapting to Change in Diverse Heritage ContextsKalliopi Fouseki
University College London, 2022
A systemic reconsideration of the formation and preservation of heritage.
As a sociocultural concept, heritage flows through cycles of emergence, change, disappearance, and revival. These lifecycles are influenced by heritage environments such as museums, landscapes, cities, and intangible networks of cultural circulation. In Heritage Dynamics, Kalliopi Fouseki develops a new theoretical and methodological framework that will enable heritage scholars and practitioners to unpack the ways and conditions under which heritage changes. Under the contexts of urban cities, residential buildings, museum collections, and subjects of intangible heritage especially concerning flamenco, this work re-orients the consideration of heritage as an object, process, or discourse, towards a more systemic thinking that captures the complexity of this historical-cultural force.

Heritage and Change
Southern Paiute and Chemehuevi Nuwuvi Basketry, 1870 to 2026Catherine S. Fowler
Museum of New Mexico Press, 2026
The Southern Paiute and Chemehuevi people have lived for countless generations in the southern Great Basin of western North America in a homeland that extends to parts of Utah, Nevada, California, and northern Arizona. Referred to by a variety of names and spellings in the EuroAmerican literature, they are the people whose name for themselves is “Nuwu”—or collectively, “Nuwuvi.” Nuwuvi basket weaving is a traditional and evolving art form that connects weavers to their ancestors and to the natural world.
This publication, years in the making, includes chapters by Catherine S. Fowler, Judith W. Finger, John J. Kania, and Larry Dalrymple that explore the cultural history of the Nuwuvi people, the work of known weavers, and the characteristics and development of Nuwuvi basketry from the 1870s to 2022. It focuses particularly on the fine-coiled work produced during the American Arts and Crafts Movement period of the 1890s to 1930s. Working separately and together, the authors analyzed over 1,200 baskets in museum collections across the United States, from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., to the Lost City Museum in Henderson, Nevada. They researched the baskets’ collectors—from John Wesley Powell to Helen J. Stewart and Isabel T. Kelly—and conducted interviews with contemporary weavers. In order to give the reader as broad a visual understanding of Nuwuvi coiled baskets as possible, images of baskets from the collection of Judith and Andrew Finger are included. The book is lavishly illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs.
