Research about cultural heritage in the social sciences almost always involves the issue of power. Power, together with culture, communication, and context, has been appropriated by Intercultural Communication as one of its four main pillars of research. However, the field has no explicit theory about power. At the same time, it has so far only been minimally concerned with cultural heritage. This paper offers a look at problems in studies concerned with cultural heritage and power, existing theories on power in Intercultural Communication, the links between heritage and power, and, finally, discusses case studies that merge these topics, with the view to stimulate much-needed theoretical work on the power theme in cultural heritage and Intercultural Communication studies.
