This article examines a recent controversy over the Catholic Church’s registration of Cordoba’s iconic Mosque-Cathedral as official Church property in 2006. In analyzing the controversy, we take up broader theoretical questions regarding the politicization and contestation of national cultural heritage, and the sociology of public controversy more generally. Drawing upon Alexander’s work on civil discourse and practice, we focus on the importance of performative aspects of civic debate. We argue that effective performances of “publicness” involving the conscientious suppression of visible signs of particularity, especially those related to Islam, have been critical to the successful politicization of the Mosque-Cathedral’s ownership and management. Politicization, however, has not produced any significant movement toward consensual resolution. In explaining this failure, we offer a more nuanced account of the conditions that limit the potential for consensus and “civil repair” as an outcome of public controversy in deeply divided societies. Our findings also have implications for understanding the growing role of international institutions and declarations in shaping the contours of localized controversies surrounding national cultural heritage.

两极分化与政治化的局限:科尔多瓦清真寺-大教堂与文化遗产政治

本文考察了天主教会在 2006 年将科尔多瓦标志性的清真寺-大教堂注册为官方教会财产的近期争议。在分析争议时,我们提出了关于国家文化遗产的政治化和争论以及公共社会学的更广泛的理论问题。更普遍的争议。借鉴亚历山大在公民话语和实践方面的工作,我们关注公民辩论的表演方面的重要性。我们认为,包括有意识地压制明显的特殊性迹象,尤其是与伊斯兰教有关的迹象在内的“公共性”的有效表现,对于清真寺-大教堂的所有权和管理的成功政治化至关重要。然而,政治化并没有产生任何朝着协商一致解决方案的重大动向。在解释这种失败时,我们对限制共识和“公民修复”的可能性的条件进行了更细致入微的说明,这些条件是严重分裂社会中公众争议的结果。我们的发现也有助于理解国际机构和宣言在塑造围绕国家文化遗产的局部争议的轮廓方面日益重要的作用。
