Playing conservatively with a radical legacy: Digital heritage and institutional tension at Prospect Cottage

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

How do we navigate institutional conservatism and contrasting stakeholder views when creating digital heritage work with a radical cultural context? Our project to create a digital version of Derek Jarman's Prospect Cottage reveals how the adoption of game technologies, and indeed the language of videogames and play, generates discourses that simultaneously complement and challenge heritage interpretation.
