Continuity continues: the listed building declaration of Hindås Ski Jumping Hill and an imaginable future for marginalised heritage

Purpose The purpose is to increase the understanding of when a heritage in the non-profit category becomes a part of the established heritage sector, and how this can be understood with regard to the rising awareness of climate change in heritage management and recent theories within the field. The case is Hindås Ski Jumping Hill in Hindås, Sweden, which since 2022 is a listed building in Sweden. Design/methodology/approach Methodologically, the article is based on dialogical approach to heritage making. The analyses are made through an interview with two persons from Erik Boström’s Stiftelse (Erik Boström’s Foundation), as well as text analyses of correspondence between the stakeholders and the heritage authorities and expert evaluations. Findings The article shows that the listed building process of Hindås Ski Jumping Hill can be seen as a fond to which changing approaches to heritage management are visible, where a more inclusive attitude towards non-profit (or marginalised) heritage has been growing in the past years, as well as a shift towards a post-anthropocentric view on heritage. This can be linked to a rising awareness in the heritage field of the impact of environmental change and climate crisis. Originality/value The article joins a growing field of research that draws on post-humanist ideas about heritage, but makes a contribution by exploring heritage that for the Swedish case is normally considered marginalised. In this respect, the heritage of sport is an example that stands out, as it can be seen as particularly human-centred and nostalgia-driven.
