In 2008 the Republic of Ireland entered an economic crisis as part of the global economic crisis. It was met with austerity measures, and Ireland has since experienced large cuts in state spending on health, education, and heritage. Across Europe, the effects of the crisis on heritage have mostly been highlighted in general or supposed terms rather than empirically analyzed. Based on interviews with state and non-state actors in the heritage sector, this paper investigates the effects of the economic crisis and austerity within Irish official heritage management. The crisis has brought changes to the ways heritage is conceptualised and dealt with from a state perspective. These changes are important to track because one key part of the continuous process of production of heritage and its values in society is the ways state heritage management frames and works with heritage. The analysis focuses on four implications: budget cuts; how the crisis creates uncertainty, pauses, and short-termism; an increasing instrumentalization of heritage; and an increasing involvement and dependency on non-state actors. Economical logics, expertise, legal liabilities, short-term emergency responses, and skills in making persuasive arguments grow in importance, while long-term strategies and projects that may not lead to measurable revenues in terms of tourism or employment get put aside. The study opens up critical questions of (in)equality and changing influences within heritage management, of what and who is, should, and can be included in and supported by state heritage management, and by which logic.

危机的回响：经济危机和紧缩时期爱尔兰国家遗产工作的实践和意识形态改造

2008 年，爱尔兰共和国进入经济危机，这是全球经济危机的一部分。它遇到了紧缩措施，此后爱尔兰在卫生、教育和遗产方面的国家支出大幅削减。在整个欧洲，危机对遗产的影响大多以一般或假设的方式强调，而不是实证分析。基于对遗产部门的国家和非国家行为者的采访，本文调查了爱尔兰官方遗产管理中经济危机和紧缩政策的影响。这场危机改变了从国家的角度对遗产进行概念化和处理的方式。跟踪这些变化很重要，因为遗产生产及其社会价值的持续过程的一个关键部分是国家遗产管理框架和遗产工作的方式。分析侧重于四个影响：预算削减；危机如何造成不确定性、停顿和短期主义；遗产的日益工具化；以及越来越多地参与和依赖非国家行为者。经济逻辑、专业知识、法律责任、短期应急响应以及提出有说服力的论点的技能变得越来越重要，而在旅游或就业方面可能无法带来可衡量收入的长期战略和项目则被搁置一旁。该研究提出了遗产管理中（不）平等和不断变化的影响的关键问题，包括什么、谁是、应该、
