This article investigates the post-Cold War fate of GAMA, the iconic hardened bunkers complex constructed at RAF Greenham Common, Berkshire, UK in the early 1980s to house newly deployed US nuclear tipped ground launched cruise missiles as part of the Euromissiles crisis. GAMA was then the focal point of international anti-nuclear protest, led by the women peace campaigners who camped just beyond its fences. The article investigates why, despite this prominence and the contemporary inclination towards heritagization, the site has not become a Cold War memorial or tourist attraction. The site’s limbo state is found to be a product of the entanglement of the competing cultural drivers of demilitarization, ruination, heritagization and/or re-utilization. The study concludes (by applying Agamben’s advocacy of profanation) that this limbo may be a fitting denial of the re-sacralization that this site might otherwise have faced, whether as a museum or a fully redeveloped commercial facility.

专业的GAMA：探索格林汉姆·康普邮轮导弹综合体遗址中的非军事化，遗产和房地产纠缠

本文研究了GAMA在冷战后的命运，GAMA是1980年代初期在英国伯克郡皇家空军格林汉姆空军基地建造的标志性硬化掩体，用来容纳新部署的美国核尖端地面发射巡航导弹，这是欧洲导弹危机的一部分。GAMA当时是国际反核抗议活动的焦点，由在其围墙外扎营的妇女和平运动分子领导。这篇文章调查了为什么尽管如此突出和当代倾向于世袭，但该地点仍未成为冷战纪念馆或旅游胜地。发现该遗址的边缘状态是非军事化，破坏，世袭化和/或再利用的相互竞争的文化驱动因素纠缠的产物。
