ABSTRACTThe medina of Fez started to play a key role in the tourism industry after the Second World War (Girard, M. 2006a. “Imaginaire touristique et émotion patrimoniale dans la medina de Fès (Maroc).” Culture & Musées 8: 61–90). The city’s image, traditionally linked to craftsmen, religious buildings and cultural heritage has contributed to the tourism industry and put Fez on the international map of world destinations. Labeled in 1981 as a World Heritage site, it has been experiencing government-orchestrated rehabilitations parallel to private investments in built heritage. Contributing to the economic development of the city, these investments have also transformed the image of the medina. A flourishing touristic destination and an urban environment of daily life shape the contemporary identity of the medina, structured around plural social imaginaries sometimes complementary and sometimes competing with one another. The paper qualitatively addresses the transformation of Fez’s medina from the angle of spatial imaginaries considering the latter as a defining factor in the formation of the medina’s contemporary identity. It discusses the emergence of new spatial imaginaries, which are thriving daily at the crossroads of diverse practices and initiatives of local and international actors. Results suggest that further understanding of the conditions of emergence, and spatial expression of these imaginaries can contribute to the debate on the development of historical medina in Morocco while highlighting the forces of reinvention of local identity.KEYWORDS: ImaginariesmedinaidentityheritageFeztourism development Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
【摘要】第二次世界大战后,非斯的麦地那开始在旅游业中发挥关键作用(Girard, M. 2006)。“想象一下,在旅游和生活中,人们的生活方式是一成不变的(摩洛哥)。”《文化与穆斯林》8:61-90)。这座城市的形象,传统上与工匠、宗教建筑和文化遗产联系在一起,为旅游业做出了贡献,并使非斯成为世界旅游目的地的国际地图。1981年,它被列为世界遗产,经历了政府精心安排的修复工作,同时也经历了私人投资建筑遗产的过程。这些投资促进了城市的经济发展,也改变了麦地那的形象。繁荣的旅游目的地和日常生活的城市环境塑造了麦地那的当代身份,围绕着多元的社会想象,有时是互补的,有时是相互竞争的。本文从空间想象的角度定性地探讨了非斯麦地那的转变,认为后者是麦地那当代身份形成的决定性因素。它讨论了新的空间想象的出现,这些空间想象每天都在当地和国际行动者的各种实践和倡议的十字路口蓬勃发展。研究结果表明,进一步了解这些想象的出现条件和空间表达,可以促进关于摩洛哥历史麦地那发展的辩论,同时突出地方身份重塑的力量。关键词:虚构、中介、身份遗产、菲茨基旅游开发披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。

ABSTRACTThis article centers on three retail sites within Walthamstow, East London in the UK – Walthamstow High Street and Hoe Street; Orford Road within Walthamstow Village; and the western end of the High St in the St James area. Each of these sites utilize everyday urban “graphic heritage” – shop front design, colors, typefaces and symbols – in the making of place. However, the graphic heritage contributes to the development of very different “designscapes” and experiences of place for different people. Drawing from a range of interdisciplinary sources the article focuses on graphic heritage as a little studied feature of the urban retail streetscape. It suggests that, in a retail context, graphic heritage is used strategically by different stakeholders in placemaking activities. In some cases, this unfolds as an organically developed designscape over time. In others, formal development creates a more planned makeover. The different approaches discussed raise questions as to how this type of everyday urban graphic heritage might contribute to processes of gentrification and experiences of inclusion and exclusion; how the power and politics inherent in these seemingly mundane design choices can impact on the making of place; and how the notion of “design literacy” can be further refined in relation to the diverse range of stakeholders within the urban retail environment.KEYWORDS: Design literacydesignscapesgraphic heritagehigh streetsplacemakingWalthamstow Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTHistorical urban fabrics have many valuable attributes, but they are often subject to reconstruction plans, especially when they suffer from economic and social problems. Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is a process of evaluating the positive and negative effects of large-scale projects on different aspects of society. The Bein-al-Haramain project, which was implemented in the historical district of Shiraz in 1995, is a suitable case for this study because of its magnitude and its location in a deteriorated historical area. The project affected Mansourieh Neighbourhood, a historic area that dates back to the pre-Safavid period. The aim of this study is to explore and describe the impacts of this project on the lives of the local residents from their own perspectives. This aim is pursued by using the participatory approach of SIA in the paper. The research employs content analysis as the method, semi-structured interviews as the data collection technique, and qualitative survey as the research strategy. According to the authors’ analysis, the Bein-al-Haramain reconstruction project had mostly negative impacts on the lives of the people living in the Mansourieh Neighbourhood. The main source of the negative effects was the disruption of the connections between Mansourieh Neighbourhood and its Bazaar and the rest of the city.KEYWORDS: SIAUrban Heritagehistorical citylarge scale projectslocal inhabitantsdamaged DistrictBein-al-HaramainShiraz Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 This term selected is equivalent of Persian word for “Mahalle.” Mahalleh is an area smaller than a district usually with mental and social borders in which the inhabitants relate and identify themselves with its features.2 An area of small shops and people selling things, especially in South Asia, North Africa, or the Middle East3 Maktab or Kuttab is a type of elementary school in the Muslim world.

What is the purpose of an exhibit on Atlantic slavery? Does it seek to raise awareness of the trade in enslaved people, with a view to highlighting and overcoming its racist legacy, or to situate the Atlantic trade within the historical – and ongoing – continuum of slavery, or to draw attention to the role of slavery in constituting colonial modernity? Does giving this history its rightful place within the national story of France, Britain or elsewhere ultimately serve to embed racial divisions in contemporary society, or to expunge them? In other words, does a reckoning with Atlantic slavery open a path to tackling racism today? This article addresses these questions in turn. Its principal referent is the Musée d’Aquitaine in Bordeaux, set in the wider context of the city’s self-image and French debates around commemorating the Atlantic slave trade. The article concludes that even though Bordeaux’s slaving past is integrated into the Musée d’Aquitaine’s guiding chronology, the full ramifications of slavery for colonial modernity have not been understood or represented. Beyond simplistic dichotomies of guilt and innocence, accusation and repentance, the enormous significance of coloniality and slavery in constituting European modernity, not least the Enlightenment, have yet to be grasped and assimilated in Bordeaux.
大西洋奴隶制展览的目的是什么?它是寻求提高人们对奴隶贸易的认识,以突出和克服其种族主义遗产,还是将大西洋贸易置于历史上和正在进行的奴隶制连续体中,还是提请人们注意奴隶制在构成殖民现代性中的作用?在法国、英国或其他国家的国家故事中赋予这段历史应有的地位,最终会将种族分裂嵌入当代社会,还是会消除它们?换句话说,对大西洋奴隶制的清算是否为今天解决种族主义开辟了一条道路?本文依次解决这些问题。它的主要参考对象是波尔多的mussame d’aquitaine,背景是这座城市的自我形象和法国围绕纪念大西洋奴隶贸易的辩论。这篇文章的结论是,尽管波尔多的奴隶制历史被纳入了mus d 'Aquitaine的指导年表中,但奴隶制对殖民地现代性的全部影响却没有被理解或表现出来。除了罪责与清白、指控与忏悔的简单二分法之外,殖民和奴隶制在构成欧洲现代性(尤其是启蒙运动)中的巨大意义,尚未在波尔多被理解和吸收。

ABSTRACTThis article describes an educational path, and subsequent experimentation, for a local cultural and natural heritage didactic unit, focusing on understanding the concepts of heritage, landscape and life in a specific mountain area. The unit, aimed at secondary school children, presents its pedagogical purpose through different methods including worksheets, glossaries, guides, and activity booklets. This study of local heritage focuses on education in relation to the specific field of heritage. Problems currently affecting the region – abandonment, depopulation, and the progressive loss of knowledge and of cultural assets of the past – are central to this didactic unit, which seeks to enhance cultural awareness of local heritage. Several pedagogical techniques incorporating different graphical and textual options are implemented to characterize the setting. The analysis explains the characteristics of the unit and its results in the form of intellectual output. It promotes progressive learning based on the recognition of natural and cultural characteristics of the rural landscape while also developing transversal skills such as innovation, social and cognitive values, and awareness of sensibility and sustainability. This pedagogical tool, which is based on a joint objective and subjective approach exercised both by investigators and the local population, aims above all to encourage the interest of children and of individuals with closer ties to the territory.KEYWORDS: Childrenculture learningbuilt environmentrural landscapePenyagolosadidactic designteaching methodsplacemaking AcknowledgementsThe authors want to thank the collaboration of SEO/Birdlife staff, Mario Giménez, the freelance layout designer Naomí Alonso, and the drawer Miguel Calero from Creaciones Ilustradas.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis didactic unit has received funding and time from the project: Writing historical centers.

ABSTRACTMining activities have shaped the landscape and local communities in Belgium and several countries worldwide. This research investigates the uses and ascribed heritage status of former coal mining sites and slag heaps that are not listed as major mining sites. Many former mining sites lack official recognition and are challenging for planning and regional development. However, in many places, populations, NGOs, and authorities want to maintain the traces of local history, which mostly requires finding new usages. Based on an oral survey of residents living near two former Belgian mining sites and semi-structured interviews with actors active in transforming these sites (regarding their functions and physical components), this paper analyzes the relations between the population and these places and explores the interests of local actors. Through descriptive and exploratory statistical analyses, we underline that former mining sites and their slag heaps provide several services for society (including recreational, environmental, and cultural services), which make them significant for inhabitants. Furthermore, while local authorities showed low interest in mining heritage, they recognize the assets of former mining sites to support urban and economic development and the preservation of green infrastructure and cultural heritage. Today, various local actors influence the preservation and management of local mining heritage by selecting elements of the place’s history, developing new uses, and rewriting narratives that include past and present activities.KEYWORDS: Heritage functionsindustrial heritagelocal heritagememorymining heritagesense of placeBelgiumWallonia AcknowledgmentsWe thank the actors interviewed and the inhabitants surveyed for contributing to this research.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s ).Notes1 All the research participants were informed about the aim of the research and how the data would be used.

Furthermore, while local authorities showed low interest in mining heritage, they recognize the assets of former mining sites to support urban and economic development and the preservation of green infrastructure and cultural heritage. Today, various local actors influence the preservation and management of local mining heritage by selecting elements of the place’s history, developing new uses, and rewriting narratives that include past and present activities.KEYWORDS: Heritage functionsindustrial heritagelocal heritagememorymining heritagesense of placeBelgiumWallonia AcknowledgmentsWe thank the actors interviewed and the inhabitants surveyed for contributing to this research.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s ).Notes1 All the research participants were informed about the aim of the research and how the data would be used.

This article aims to trace the Taliban’s motives behind the deliberate destruction of cultural heritage in Swat while also looking into the local’s reaction and their relationship with cultural heritage after the conflict. The Taliban insurgents deliberately defaced and dynamited the second largest seated statue of Lord Buddha after Bamiyan in Afghanistan and bomb-damaged Swat Museum. The findings are the outcomes of in-depth interviews and FGDs conducted with locals, key informants from the community, local journalists, NGO representatives, archeologists, and Swat Museum officials. This study demonstrates that the Taliban iconoclastic acts were motivated by their “conflict goal” – the introduction and imposition of Sharia Law in the region. The “specific targeting” of the seated statue of Lord Buddha and the bomb-damaged Swat Museum are considered the principal identifiers of differences, and instrumental in “signalling” strength and commitment to the resisting actors. The polarity in explanations among the locals indicates that the Taliban tactfully manipulated the equivocal understanding of idolatry in Islam. After the conflict, apart from the realization of ownership and pride among the locals, the utmost concerns for them are the protection of cultural heritage and the construction of a religious counter-narrative on the status of idols and statues in Islam.

ABSTRACT This article concentrates on the role of social and spatial processes that influence how architectural sites of the past are deemed part of the cultural heritage. It will focus on the contested architecture of collective farms in post-Soviet Estonia. By analyzing urban–rural dynamics and mnemonic processes dealing with controversial historical periods, it will demonstrate the complex negotiations that are involved in heritagization processes. These complicated processes are illustrated by analyzing three case studies, which show how heritagization is a heterogeneous practice, negotiated on multiple levels in communities, on the collective and private levels, but also between the state and the private sector. The article argues that rural/urban representation and relational dynamics play an important role in heritagization processes. Though the collective-farm architecture was built during the ideologically contested Soviet period, the attitudes towards these premises are intertwined with multi-layered patterns of remembering, which are embedded in local social relations and community identity.
