Abstract: The main goal of this talk is to provide a review of the current state of affairs in researching and managing heritage in Central Asia – a vast part of Asia comprising five post-Soviet states. The speaker, himself from Central Asia, has worked extensively in the region both before and after completing a PhD on heritage and its interaction with nation-building efforts. The talk is envisioned as a discussion session, posing more questions than answers, and aims to raise awareness of the issues from the perspectives of both heritage management and critical heritage studies in relation to the region. Current political considerations in the region will serve as a backdrop to these discussions.
