ABSTRACT
This edited book has explored multivocality in 21st-century World Heritage-making, grounded in recent research relating to the Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage site. In exploring multivocality in heritage, the editors engage in a dialogue based on the work with the book. Of particular importance is how to deal with conservation and change in World Heritage. The editors conclude that a way forward is to provide a more nuanced understanding of change in conservation and preservation practices, not least in order to counter the still taken-for-granted premise in much heritage discourse that change is foremost to be avoided, and that values are to be saved and fixed through conservation.
