Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter theorizes on the intersection of heritage and resistance, building on empirical findings reported from different situations of conflicts in which people’s diverging rights to heritage are contested, negotiated, or even violated. Heritage and resistance are brought into conservation here to explore opportunities for a positive change. Conceived as a verb and a process, heritage has an agency. It expands into areas of life and policy, and uncritical engagement in the intersection of heritage and resistance can lead not only to unnoticed processes of biases, exclusion, or racism, but can also jeopardize their potential for the production of socially equal and just spaces. In conclusion, this chapter identifies the potentials and limitations of the intersection, manifested in the interlinked concepts of justice, value, and right.

- This chapter is dedicated to a conversation with Ciraj Rassool, a scholar-activist, and professor of history and director of the African Programme in Museum and Heritage Studies at the University of the Western Cape. The conversation was conducted virtually on 12 January 2021, with Ciraj Rassool in Cape Town. Prior to the conversation we introduced Rassool to the theme of the book and shared with him a set of topic-questions. Rather than seeking to canvas the bibliography of his intellectual and political development, the conversation sought to reflect on the development of his identity as a scholar-activist during the apartheid and post-apartheid of South Africa, and across the academic, activism and applied fields of inquiry.

- During and after the war in Croatia in the 1990’s, almost half of the 6000 partisan monuments erected between 1945 and 1990 were demolished. National sentiments ran high and these monuments were perceived as tokens of the regime that attacked Croatia in order to deny it independence. Most of these monuments were in places were fighting in the Second World War had taken place. In other regions, they became objects which were and are being culturally bracketed. Based on ethnographic examples, mostly from the peninsula of Istria, this chapter puts nationalism into the context of local experience and production of meaning as well as in a national and international frame. It analyzes/presents monuments as dynamic objects that can be emotionally charged, physically challenged, or pass into oblivion.

Methodological Insights Within the Intersection of Heritage and Resistance Research

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book is about the entanglement of heritage and resistance in different situations of conflicts, and the opportunities this entanglement may provide for social justice. This entanglement is investigated in the different contributions through theoretical and empirical analyses of heritage-led resistance to neoliberal economic development, violation of the subaltern, authorised narratives and state-invented traditions, colonialism and settler colonialism, and even dominating discourses of social movement, to name just a few. Crossing the disciplinary boundaries of heritage and resistance studies, these analyses bring new insights into several timely debates, especially those concerned with the interrelated critical questions of displacement, gentrification, exclusion, marginalization, urbicide, spatial cleansing, dehumanization, alienation, ethnic cleansing and social injustice. Following our purposeful and future-driven approach, we wish to bring new energy to the field of heritage studies through the focus on the potential of heritage and resistance for hopeful change rather than adding to the field yet another overwhelming engagement with conflict and war.

Ethnoscaping Green Resistance: Heritage and the Fight Against Fracking

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter explores specific instances where environmentalist resistance to fossil fuel extraction mobilizes definitions of ‘heritage’ connected to colonial histories and ethnocentric visions for the future. Through discourse analysis of Facebook groups of the most successful campaigns to prevent hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in the United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa, national ‘ethnoscapes’ that bind activists together are exposed as wrapped up in attempts to secure the nation as a white possession. Pre-enclosure Britain, the Australia of the Eureka Stockade, and white colonial expansion in South Africa are produced as Golden Ages, which must be inoculated against the histories of genocide and repression of autochthonous populations. The consistent discursive work needed to whitewash heritage in the metropole, and to legitimize present land control in the colonies, is presented as a major obstacle to building the kinds of coalitions that are necessary for environmental protection on a global scale.

Fighting Denial of the Right to the Past: Heritage-Backed Bodily Resistance and Performance of Refugeeism and Return

- This chapter researches the emerging struggle for return from below, as a practice enriching and subverting diplomatic efforts in the post-Oslo times. Postponing the right of return from peace talks has prompted Palestinian refugees to explore alternative means for return. Groups of internally displaced Palestinians with Israeli citizenship moved to live on their sites of expulsion, challenging the Israeli law that criminalized their action. I will bring their story into a dialogue with the broader narratives of both the Palestinian national liberation movement and the Zionist settler colonial power, to unpack their dynamics of resistance. Interviews with activists showed that living with the ruins and the reproduction of history and memory of an-Nakba from below enabled them to transform their identity from ‘refugees’ to ‘citizens’, invert their vulnerability into resource for resistance, and restore the sense of urgency of an-Nakba history.

- There is a great difference between working on and working under totalitarian government. For me as an archaeologist of recent past, both have happened. Evidently, I am an archaeologist working on totalitarian methods of oppression living most of my life under the tyrannical political context of Iran. To elucidate the case, I analogize the archaeologist of modernity living under a totalitarian state to be seemed like Pandora holding her box in which the stories of many sufferings have been hidden. In contrast, the brutal state may to achieve the archaeologist’s box using oppression and violence against him/her. Opening the box, literally writing or speaking about the stories kept in it in public, would increase the danger of being suppressed. In such a condition, the archaeologist would have two straight ways to choose, the first one is to ignore the brutality of the system and adopt his/her methods to work on safe topics mostly proposed and funded by the governmental institutions while the second way is to accept the penalty of being independent and pay the price of working on tyranny. It is more than a decade that I have chosen the second path. Frankly, years ago I had no clear idea how this option would change my life but today, I have a clear image of it which may be awkward. This choice has made me both the object and subject of my own researches. Here, in this chapter I am going to open my Pandora box and share with broader readers what would happen for an archaeologist of modernity under totalitarianism. I do not intend to narrate a personal story but factually, I am going to excavate my own life to present the evidences and patterns of oppression for other scholars working on or under tyranny.
