Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to examine the process of “heritagization” of labour culture occurred in former coal mining areas. Using data based on fieldwork conducted in some (ex-) industrial cities and semi-structured interviews with several actors related to industrial heritages, I found that labour culture is “heritagized” not as class culture but as local culture under the influence of state power and global competition.
