The material authenticity of cultural heritage has been questioned by societies in which the modern paradigm of conservation has not developed from within the native culture. This paper examines the philosophical and practical traditions in Iran regarding the materiality and authenticity of past structures. By reviewing the emergence of the Western conservation paradigm in Iran, this paper highlights two key factors: the rapidness of this paradigm shift and the remarkable contradiction between the new and old paradigms. By borrowing the Deleuzo-Guattarian concept of a ‘body without organs’ (BwO), this paper problematises the rapidness and radicality of the paradigm shift in Iran. It suggests exploring the under-investigated possibilities between the pre-modern and modern paradigms to address the gap between native circumstances and Western standards.

关于伊朗城市保护的过去和未来的思考

社会对文化遗产的物质真实性提出了质疑，在这些社会中，现代保护范式并未从本土文化中发展出来。本文考察了伊朗关于过去建筑物的重要性和真实性的哲学和实践传统。通过回顾西方养护范式在伊朗的兴起，本文强调了两个关键因素：范式转变的迅速性以及新旧范式之间的显着矛盾。通过借用德勒索-瓜塔里安的“没有器官的身体”（BwO）的概念，本文对伊朗范式转变的迅速性和激进性提出了质疑。
