Abstract
Concepts and practices of patrimonialisation in the Middle East, although primarily imported from Europe during the last phase of Ottoman rule and the colonial mandate/period, have been reinterpreted and given new meanings and aims in the postcolonial era. I investigate a local re-conceptualisation of heritage practice, put forward by Damascenes involved in the heritage policies of Syria’s capital city. I also focus on the marginalisation of groups of people considered unfit to be part of the heritage, which is a common outcome of patrimonialisation. Finally, I explore some questions related to the ethnographical study of the global social spaces that are frequently labeled as “heritage-scapes.”
Résumé
Les concepts et pratiques de patrimonialisation dans le Moyen-Orient, bien que principalement importés d’Europe au cours de la dernière phase de la domination ottomane et du mandat/période coloniale, ont été réinterprétés et se sont vu attribuer de nouvelles significations et de nouveaux objectifs à l’ère postcoloniale. Dans cet article, j’étudie une re-conceptualisation de la pratique du patrimoine local, mis en avant par les Damascéniens impliqués dans les politiques du patrimoine de la capitale syrienne. Je me concentre aussi sur la marginalisation des groupes de personnes considérées comme inaptes à faire partie du patrimoine, ce qui est un résultat commun du processus de patrimonialisation. Enfin, j’explore certaines questions relatives à l’étude ethnographique des espaces sociaux globaux qui sont souvent étiquetés comme « paysages patrimoniaux ».
