Abstract

This paper examines how armed conflict impacts the recalibration of Aleppo’s historic urban and cultural fabric, using the Al-Jdeideh quarter as a case study. This article critically reflects on the ongoing (post-)conflict, top-down (post-)reconstruction activities in Aleppo’s historic core, drawing on ethnographic research of visual mapping and semi-structured interviews with current Aleppo dwellers in the city and former dwellers displaced across Europe. Our findings highlight that the current reconstruction activities lack locals’ values and needs, and amplify the altered socio-economic dynamics between the (former) communities’ absence and presence. Therefore, these activities are resulting in a skewed representation of what once was a major hub of culture, commerce, heritage, and everyday life. As such, the paper argues that the current reconstruction attempts lack a comprehensive and context-specific approach, and need to explore more inclusive pathways of human-centered and sustainable recovery.
(重新)校准遗产:叙利亚阿勒颇的 Al-Jdeideh(冲突后)变革
本文以 Al-Jdeideh 区为案例,探讨武装冲突如何影响阿勒颇历史城市和文化结构的重 新调整。本文通过对阿勒颇市现有居民和在欧洲流离失所的前居民进行视觉测绘和半结构式访谈的人种学研究,对阿勒颇历史核心区正在进行的(冲突后)自上而下的(后)重建活动进行了批判性反思。我们的研究结果突出表明,当前的重建活动缺乏当地人的价值观和需求,并扩大了(前)社区缺席和在场之间的社会经济动态变化。因此,这些活动导致曾经是文化、商业、遗产和日常生活主要中心的地方被歪曲。因此,本文认为,目前的重建尝试缺乏全面和针对具体情况的方法,需要探索更具包容性的以人为本和可持续恢复的途径。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Social Archaeology is a fully peer reviewed international journal that promotes interdisciplinary research focused on social approaches in archaeology, opening up new debates and areas of exploration. It engages with and contributes to theoretical developments from other related disciplines such as feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, social geography, literary theory, politics, anthropology, cognitive studies and behavioural science. It is explicitly global in outlook with temporal parameters from prehistory to recent periods. As well as promoting innovative social interpretations of the past, it also encourages an exploration of contemporary politics and heritage issues.
