The author differ-entiates the sources and meanings of this term within various heritage discourses. First and foremost, the ambition of the paper is to propose an appropriate translation of heritagisation into Polish, one that embraces all the negative aspects of this process. The concept of heritagisation was introduced in the 90s and then later adapted by scholars representing critical heritage studies. Originally, the term was used to signal the dangers linked to the administrative processes of heritage‑making: gentrification, commercialisation, monetisa-tion and flattening the meanings of monuments and architecture from the past. The term was critically examined at the beginning of the 21st century, when scholars used it to describe the accumulation of heritage that is insufficiently protected. Nevertheless, this concept, migrating from discipline to discipline, also gained a positive meaning connected to the adaptation of heritage. In this paper the author discusses the differences between negative and positive her-itagisation. The author identifies the differences between discourses, and explains how the concept is used within various fields of study. Last but not least, the author proposes a non‑literal translation of heritagisation into Polish, which should embrace all the meanings of the concept framed by critical heritage studies theory. Finally, the author applies the concept to a case study: the history of Pavilion Powiśle/Syreni Śpiew.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Heritagisation: or when everything becomes heritage}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121532/PDF/2021-HSRK-09-Stobiecka.pdf}, doi={10.24425/hsm.2021.138370}, keywords={heritagisation, heritage, heritage studies, critical heritage studies, theory and methodology of heritage studies, future of heritage}, }
