Resumen:
|
This paper wishes to inspect views towards heritage in periods of conflict. The aim is to compare how notions over heritage monuments are renegotiated during periods of war and other conflict situations. An example for this examination will be the monument of the Acropolis, one of the most profound symbols of World Heritage. The analysis will follow two directions: the theoretical analysis of every different viewpoint in selected case studies and their comparison to reveal the complexity of the issue of heritage, in various periods of modern history. One case study will be the battle of Athens by the Greeks (March 1822), when the besiegers avoided to attack the Acropolis to save the Parthenon, while some Athenians entreated them to destroy the Acropolis -the place where the Ottoman military lurked (Voutier 1823). Their suggestion was that after the establishment of the Greek state, the new sculptors and architects would cover the loss. The second example will be the battle of Athens (December 1944), one of the first incidents that led to the Greek Civil War. During this fight the monuments of the Acropolis were used as a stronghold by the E.D.E.S. (National Democratic Greek Association) alongside the British allies that came to its aid against E.A.M.(National Liberation Front). During this civil war conflict the perception of heritage gave way to an interpretation of the hill as a strategic vantage point. The third example will be placed at the end of the conflict, in the imminent period afterwards. The use of the World Heritage site as a means of conversion for the defeated of the Civil War, towards the new national narrative. The actual locus point is transferred to the exile island of Makronissos, in which the material replicas of the Parthenon and other monuments lay, examples of another use of the monuments in periods of conflict. By revealing this constantly changing and perpetually renegotiated views on heritage, the question of heritage could be approached from a different wiewpoint. It could be argued that in periods of conflict, heritage becomes valuable and elusive at the same time. What in times of peace would be interpreted as heritage, it is considered otherwise in conflicted situations… The paper wishes to suggest that the promotion of such attitudes in heritage narrations could be considered as a valuable addition to the discussion.
