Abstract

"This indispensable new resource is the first English-language anthology of historic preservation theory with an international perspective. It includes close to 100 essential texts spanning three centuries of preservation discourse and theory, from the Enlightenment to the present, each with a critical introduction by the editor. Unique in its geographic and temporal breadth, it shows how ideas stemming from disciplines such as jurisprudence, architecture, art, planning, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and many others were woven together over time into what we now call historic preservation."--

Abstract

Old things, historic things, smelly dirty things, all the things that were considered the very opposite of “contemporary,” have suddenly irrupted forcefully into architecture and art, blurring their boundaries. This book takes stock of the emerging generation behind this turn, and examines their experimental engagements with the preservation of culturally charged objects. Structured around a series of interdisciplinary dialogues among practitioners and thinkers, and illustrated with recent projects, the book provides a window into the unfolding intellectual frameworks, aesthetic modes, cultural ambitions, and political commitments that are the basis of experimental preservation.

Abstract

Refugee camps are established with the intention of being demolished. As a paradigmatic representation of political failure, they are meant to have no history and no future; they are meant to be forgotten. The history of refugee camps is constantly being erased and dismissed by states, humanitarian organizations, international agencies and even by refugee communities themselves, who fear that any acknowledgment of the present condition in the camp may undermine their right of return to their place of origin. The only history that is recognized is one of violence and humiliation. Yet the camp is also a place rich with stories, narrated through its urban fabric. In tracing, documenting, revealing and representing refugee history beyond the narrative of suffering and displacement, Refugee Heritage is an attempt to imagine and practice ‘refugeeness’ beyond humanitarianism. Such a process requires not only rethinking the refugee camp as a political space: it calls for redefining the refugee as a subject in exile and understanding exile as a contemporary political practice that is capable of challenging the status quo. The recognition of “the heritage of a culture of exile” constitutes a new perspective from which social, spatial and political structures can be imagined and experienced, beyond the idea of the nation-state. This book-dossier attempts to deactivate the claims of objectivity and universalism contained in the conventions followed by UNESCO in determining World Heritage status; it presents different narratives that do not fit within such statist discourse, reorienting heritage towards non-hegemonic forms of life and collective memory. By reusing, misusing and redirecting UNESCO World Heritage guidelines and criteria, Refugee Heritage challenges definitions of heritage and their colonial foundations, asking instead how architecture is mobilized as an agent of political transformation. Refugee Heritage is comprised of the first four parts of the Annex 5 UNESCO nomination dossier for the inscription of Dheisheh Refugee Camp as a World Heritage Site, and an Appendix containing architectural interventions, conversations and responses, produced over the course of the last six years with the participation of organizations and individuals, politicians and conservation experts, activists, and governmental and non-governmental representatives. The publication of this book has been made possible with the generous support of the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm; Iaspis, the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s International Programme for Visual Artists; Van Abbemuseum; Art Jameel in Dubai. The book was presented on the occasion of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, 2021.

Abstract

Les trois journées du colloque ont porté sur les problèmes qu’a fait émerger récemment la prise en compte des mutations des limites spatiales, temporelles et disciplinaires qui touchent autant les objets de l’historien de l’architecture que le champ de ses investigations. Dans un monde dans lequel les frontières politiques comme les cadres de références identitaires ont changé, où la mondialisation culturelle prend une importance grandissante, le thème des mutations spatiales, temporelles et disciplinaires présente une pertinence à la fois actuelle et historique. Ce thème, à la fois transchronologique et transgéographique, a permis ainsi de faire réfléchir ensemble historiens de l’architecture et chercheurs (historiens, historiens de l’art, sociologues, géographes, etc.) travaillant dans le champ de l’architecture et de son histoire quelle que soit leur discipline.
