Heritage is a unique concept with an ever-expanding semantic scope. As a category used for describing the cultural reality, it refers to concepts previously applied in many academic fields. In this sense, heritage exhibits intriguing links with historical monuments and cultural property, tradition, history, social memory, and memorials, or, even more broadly speaking, with culture. Heritage stems from these notions, but at the same time it brings together academic fields which investigate “the current presence of the past" and the strategies of its valorization, negotiation, application or resistance, of intentional forgetting and retrieving. The local, national, regional and global dimensions of heritage, its dependence on various processes taking place in the modern world, and its deep roots in the past together form a web of interrelations, which we propose to explore from different perspectives. This is how interdisciplinary synergy emerges, fuelling the Heritage PRA, which is a collaboration platform for representatives of many branches of the humanities and social sciences. The Heritage PRA primarily comprises the following academic disciplines and fields of research: anthropology; archaeology; economics and finance; ethnology; foreign languages and literatures; philosophy; history; art history; linguistics; Jewish studies; cognitive science; comparative literature; cultural studies; literary studies; musicology; social communication and media studies; political science and public administration; management and quality studies; law; cultural property protection; Polish studies; literary translation; religious studies; sociology; theatre studies and film studies.
