ABSTRACT

In Moss, Norway, a former cellulose factory is currently being adapted for new uses. The onsite digester, a high-rise steel structure that was used to make cellulose before the factory closed in 2012, is a landmark on the premises. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage has not designated heritage status to the digester, although it constitutes heritage for many who used to work at the factory. The digester now faces an uncertain material future, but that does not preclude it from being remembered in various ways. Some former factory workers suggest that its heritage can be rendered olfactory by reconstructing the putrid smell the digester emitted while in service. This paper argues that ‘authorised’ views of heritage can be challenged by the ways in which working-class heritage is performed and remembered.

摘要

在挪威的莫斯，一家前纤维素工厂目前正在改造以适应新的用途。现场蒸煮器是一座高层钢结构，在 2012 年工厂关闭之前用于制造纤维素，是该场所的一个地标。文化遗产局没有指定消化器的遗产地位，尽管它构成了许多曾经在工厂工作的人的遗产。消化器现在面临着不确定的物质未来，但这并不妨碍它以各种方式被人们记住。一些前工厂工人表示，可以通过重建消化池在使用过程中散发出的腐烂气味，使其遗产具有嗅觉。本文认为，“认可”的遗产观点可能会受到工人阶级遗产被执行和记忆的方式的挑战。
