Abstract

Industrial heritage is socially constructed in contemporary society, and diverse subjects and historical contexts create differentiated constructed outcomes. Taking 798 art zone in China and Zeche Zollverein in Germany as research objects, this paper explores and compares the diverse discourses behind the development of industrial heritage and the development strategies under its influence. When a wide range of forces such as government, groups, art, social actors, and people play against each other, the direction of heritage positioning becomes complex and ambiguous. The paper uses a combination of fieldwork and literature research to clarify the relationship between the multiple discourses through the development and strategic modes behind the two cases.
