Abstract

This article contributes to a growing academic debate about the role of young people in safeguarding the memory of the past to support post-war rebuilding through physical urban reform and national rebranding. It also provides new opportunities for young people to amplify their voices after years of struggle. We pose the following question: How can the youth better leverage heritage to emphasise commonalities, cultural links, and educational understanding, which can break down ideological barriers and create sustainable peace? Through a critical thematic analysis of 45 open-ended interviews held in Iraq, we developed a set of recommendations that allows the youth to engage in dialogue around the country and its cultural heritage through oral history, testimonies, and documentaries. The outcomes of this research could enable the youth to reflect on their interpretation of heritage contestation and their active role towards safeguarding Iraq’s cultural heritage.
重新唤起伊拉克青年保护文化遗产的声音:挑战与工具
这篇文章为学术界日益激烈的讨论做出了贡献,讨论的主题是青年人在保护历史记忆方面的作用,以通过城市物质改革和国家品牌重塑支持战后重建。它还为年轻人在多年斗争后发出自己的声音提供了新的机会。我们提出以下问题:青年如何才能更好地利用遗产来强调共性、文化联系和教育理解,从而打破意识形态障碍,创造可持续的和平?通过对在伊拉克举行的 45 次开放式访谈进行批判性专题分析,我们提出了一系列建议,使青年能够通过口述历史、证词和纪录片,围绕国家及其文化遗产开展对话。这项研究的成果可以使青年反思他们对遗产争夺的理解以及他们在保护伊拉克文化遗产方面的积极作用。

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.
