Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Urban social change and large-scale demolitions in the name of urban renewal often give rise to social conflicts. In this study, we investigate how resistances to this change emerge, coalesce and revolve, and how they use heritage to generate cumulative impact. The analyses of urban change and resistance in Gårda, a working-class neighbourhood of Gothenburg, Sweden, showed social conflicts to be instigated by their stigmatisation. Since the 1970s, Gårda has been called ‘out of place’ and marked for demolition. These demolitions were given legitimacy by the ‘housing quality standards’ that emerged in the 1930s as a means to reduce social inequalities. Over time these standards became an ‘intangible heritage’ employed in neoliberal urban policies. In response, five ‘Re-Gårda’ resistance strategies emerged to contest Gårda’s future. Resistance groups uncovered new values for Gårda, curating the vision with the slogan ‘have a coffee in Gårda’, and structuring the narrative ‘upgrade Gårda’. This challenged the dominant discourse ‘demolish’ or ‘conserve’ Gårda, and resulted in a government decision to protect Gårda as a ‘heritage site’. Investigating heritage and resistance in Gårda helped us reveal the potential of resistance in challenging the limits of authorised urban and heritage discourses, and in realising socially equal and just cities.

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.

Heritage and Urban Resistance: Exploring Identity Politics, Commons and Conflict
- 2017
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Urban resistances have erupted in several countries, disrupting everyday life and challenging urban policies and planning. This project looks at how heritage and resistance both as concepts and as empirical realities for people on the ground are fundamentally interdependent and today constitute multiple sites of conflict. The same sites, objects, and evidence of the past are often claimed by diverse community groups in ways that make everyday life a micro dynamics of negotiating identity, recognition and sense of place. How often-contradictory positions on heritage are entangled in policies for the management of contested heritage sites will be investigated in Palestine, Turkey, and Sweden

- Theorizing Heritage Through Resistance, as a contribution, process, and structure, is introduced in this chapter. It begins with snapshots of waves of resistance and social movements that erupted in different parts of the world, and inspired the editors’ engagement in the intersection of heritage and resistance. In light of these movements, the book focused on illustrating the ways through which heritage become involved in these movements and on identifying heritage-inspired purposeful practices. Working in the intersection of heritage and resistance in different situations of conflict, the book searched for opportunities for justice-making. This chapter ends with explaining the book structure, including the geography and contribution of chapters.

Urban Resistance: New Heritage and Commons in Conflict Situations.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The past decades have witnessed rapid growth of urban dissent and resistances, including everyday life insurgencies, protests, riots, and urban social movements, challenging the way cities are planned and managed. Protesters with different backgrounds united by similar sense of discontent from the current situation are likely to produce new (spaces of) ‘commons’. These commons, as conceived by protesters, could be either -temporarily secured even enclosed- physical places or places with borders in the imaginary. This paper investigates how heritage and urban resistance both as concepts and as empirical realities for people on the ground are fundamentally interdependent and today contribute and characterize new forms of conflicts and ‘commons’. Rather than ‘governing common-pool resources’ (Ostrom 1990), the commons in this study is seen as ‘the shared conceptualization of time and temporal values created by a culture-carrying collectivity’ (Bluedorn & Waller 2006) in ‘dynamic’ and ‘shared’ spaces (Hardt and Negri, 2011) that are ‘open to all’ (Harvey 2012: 72). Along this unfolding of the ‘commons’ in its imaginary, institutional, and material forms, urban resistance is understood as part of everyday life, and profoundly relate to issues of identity, recognition and sense of place. These conceptions and arguments are underlain by preliminary investigation of the destruction of the Al-Qaryon Square, located in the Historic City of Nablus, as part of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict over history and presence, and the recent violent episodes that have erupted in Istanbul related to the re-construction of an Ottoman military barrack in Gezi Park. Both cases present diverse events and situations where people’s plural interpretations of, and claims on, the very same sites, objects, and evidence of the past are just one side of a coin that on the other, constitutes micro dynamics of negotiating conflict, inclusion/exclusion, security, recognition and identity with regard to the very same sites, objects, and evidence of the past. Urban resistances in both cases not only unfold diverse socio-spatial relationships based on competing interpretation of the past, but they also construct and reconstruct aspects of new ‘shared heritage’ and ‘commons’. While these findings provide deeper understanding of urban resistance and conflicts in/over the commons, they also open up for new understanding of heritage and its commoning in contemporary societies. Such an approach to conflict in the commons may help us to make theoretical and political sense of the contemporary phenomena of urban resistance.

- 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.

Theorizing Heritage through Non-Violent Resistance
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.
