Abstract / Summary

Beginning from the premise that the notions of ‘minority’ and ‘heritage’ are socially constructed in part by discursive processes, in this chapter Koreinik and Hodsdon draw on language and heritage studies in considering the discursive construction of minority cultures’ intangible cultural heritage in the context of social justice. They consider how discourse has shaped the relevant concepts at play (including the construction of difference in minority contexts, and the authorised heritage discourse, and review different approaches to discourse analysis. Finally, they offer an illustration of the potential value of using what has been called positive discourse analysis – or a combination of critical and positive, or what the authors term ‘appreciative’ approaches – as a way of understanding how revoicing by minority cultures is already happening, and how it can be better supported in future.
