Reviewing Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment Tools through Critical Heritage Studies
- 2020

Ingår i: Sustainability. - : MDPI AG. - 2071-1050. ; 12:4

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reports on a critical review of how cultural heritage is addressed in two internationally well-known and used neighborhood assessment tools (NSAs): BREEAM Communities (BREEAM-C) and LEED Neighborhood Design (LEED-ND). The review was done through a discourse analysis in which critical heritage studies, together with a conceptual linking of heritage to sustainability, served as the point of departure. The review showed that while aspects related to heritage are present in both NSAs, heritage is re-presented as primarily being a matter of safeguarding material expressions of culture, such as buildings and other artifacts, while natural elements and immaterial-related practices are disregarded. Moreover, the NSAs institutionalize heritage as a field of formal knowledge and expert-dominated over the informal knowledge of communities.

Stories of Pasts and Futures in Planning
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Societies are constantly changing, facing new challenges and possibilities generated by innovative technologies, sociospatial re-structuring and mobilities. This research approaches these challenges by exploring the role that stories about pasts, presents and futures play in planning. It sees stories as interlinked spaces of struggle over meanings, legitimacies and powers through which “our” valuable pasts and “our” desirable futures become re-constructed, framed and projected. It argues that powerful stories might consciously or unconsciously become institutionalised in policy discourses and documents, foregrounding our spatial realities and affecting our living spaces. These arguments and assumptions are investigated in relation to three cases: Regional-Pasts, SeGI-Futures and ICT-Futures. The stories about pasts, presents and futures surrounding these cases are investigated with the aim of initiating critical discussions on how stories about pasts and futures can inform, but also be sustained by, planning processes. While studies of these cases are presented in separate papers, these studies are brought together in an introductory essay and reconstructed in response to the research questions: How do regional futures become informed by the pasts? How do particular stories about the pasts become selected, framed and projected as envisioned futures? What messages are conveyed to the pasts and the presents through envisioned futures? How can stories of the past be referred and re-employed in planning to build more inclusive futures? To engage with the multidisciplinarity of these questions, they are investigated through dialogues between three main fields: heritage studies, futures studies and planning. The discussions have challenged the conventional divides between pasts, presents and futures, emphasised their plural nature and uncovered how the discursive power of stories play a significant role when interpreting pasts and envision futures in planning practices.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Between the 30th of March and the 15th of May, more than one hundred #Palestinians were killed and ten thousands were wounded in the mass #protests along the barriers between the Gaza Strip and #Israel. The protesters called for the Palestinians’ right of return to their homes and lands from which they were expelled in 1948. Despite escalating protests, the USA and Israel celebrated the relocation of the US #embassy from Tel Aviv to #Jerusalem on a high-pitch tone. The simultaneity of these events became bizarre, if not hawkish. How can we understand these events?

Conservation, innovation and healing of the well-preserved medieval Ystad
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Urban Research and Practice. - 1753-5069. ; 8:2, s. 165-195
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article investigates the discursive powers that authorise and legitimise heritage practices in Ystad, which has a reputation as one of the best preserved medieval towns in Scandinavia. To maintain this reputation, the discursive and material heritage of certain groups and periods of history are projected at the expense of others, albeit in a legitimised manner. Methods of discursive analysis, supported by Smith’s ‘authorised heritage discourse’ and Harvey’s ‘heritageisation’, show that a static approach to heritage, assimilative and exclusionary in nature, has protected Ystad’s material heritage. This approach has never been challenged but is perpetually adjusted within frameworks of dominant and subversive ideologies, producing adverse and overlooked social and spatial consequences. Heritage practices need new perspectives on entrenched habits of thought and new trajectories within the political dynamics of planning strategies, both of which are often unrecognised by the means commonly used to measure the legitimation of intervention in heritage.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article investigates the influence of power struggles on conservationinterventions. It looks at the effect that conflict over meaning-making in representations ofcultural heritage can have on an inhabited historic environment. Narratives of particularinterventions and historically developed discourses are analyzed to explore how they becomesocially appropriated. An analytical framework is developed to unfold the narrative and heritagedimensions of interventions in the Historic City of Nablus. Focusing on the periods of “peace”and “Second Intifada”, the conclusions show how actual conservations in occupied societies arenot only influenced by direct violence, but are also enmeshed with discursive control overheritage questions relating to identity and superiority.

Conservation under Occupation in the Historic City of Nablus
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing on Foucault’s conceptualisation of power - as a set of actions performed upon other actions andreactions - this article aims to understand the mechanisms behind cultural conservation where nexus ofconflictual powers is particular densified as an effect of both an occupation force and the internationalcommunity intervention. Thereby, it examines the way discourses of cultural meanings are formed,transformed and correlated influenced by the multiple powers involved in the politics of cultural conservation.The link between discourse and power is illustrated through a particular enactment of a concrete research inwhich the Historic Centre of Nablus in Palestine is identified as a case. Conflict of power relations and interestsis a universal question however it becomes a unique phenomenon when happening in an occupied society. Thisarticle argues that occupation force, local resistance and international community interventions have exposedthe cultural resources of the Palestinian Historic centres to ‘concentrated’ processes of both ‘destruction’ and‘conservation’. Understanding the current mechanisms behind cultural conservation may therefore explorepossible ways for locally-sensitive cultural conservation.
