Historical reenactment: New ways of experiencing history
Research output: Book/Report › Book › Research › peer-review
Long dismissed as the domain of hobbyists and obsessives, historical reenactment-the dramatization of past events using costumed actors and historical props-has only in recent years attracted serious attention from scholars. Drawing on examples from around the world, Historical Reenactment offers a fascinating, interdisciplinary exploration of this cultural phenomenon. With particular attention to reenactment's social and pedagogical dimensions, it develops a robust definition of what the practice constitutes, considers what methodological approaches are most appropriate, and places it alongside museums and memorial sites as an object of analysis.
