Book chapter (other academic/artistic)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.

- 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.

The Epistemic Work of Decolonization and Restitution: A Critical Conversation
- 2022

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)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.
