Since the beginning of the armed conflicts and public uprisings that accompanied and followed the ‘Arab Spring’ that started in 2010, cultural heritage sites have been hit hard, damaged and often destroyed by different perpetrators. The Syrian Civil War has resulted in unprecedented damage to cultural heritage sites, monuments, and facilities. This has provoked observers, politicians, and international and national non‐government organizations to debate about the impacts of damaging Syria’s ‘irreplaceable’ patrimony and how to safeguard its past from the ongoing destructive actions. This paper investigates the transformation of the terminology of heritage—and the uses of heritage—in Syria before and during the ongoing conflict, and how the internationally renowned term ‘heritage’ emerged to promote the destruction of Syria’s cultural patrimony. This paper explores the semantics and impacts of the continuous destruction and the ongoing reconstruction plans on the cultural heritage of Syria. To conclude, I argue that those destructive actions started a process of ‘heritagizing’ the present which will eventually become a part of the Syrian collective memory.

竞争遗产:消除罗马叙利亚冲突后的遗产*

自从2010年开始的“阿拉伯之春”并伴随着武装冲突和公共起义开始以来,文化遗产遗址遭到重创,破坏,并经常被不同的肇事者摧毁。叙利亚内战对文化遗产,古迹和设施造成了前所未有的破坏。这激怒了观察家,政客以及国际和国家非政府组织,以讨论破坏叙利亚“不可替代”遗产的影响以及如何从正在进行的破坏性行动中保护其过去。本文调查了在持续冲突发生之前和之中,叙利亚的遗产术语及其使用的变化,以及国际知名的“遗产”一词如何出现以促进对叙利亚文化遗产的破坏。本文探讨了持续破坏和正在进行的重建计划对叙利亚文化遗产的语义和影响。总而言之,我认为这些破坏性行动开始了“使现在成为“遗产”的进程,该进程最终将成为叙利亚集体记忆的一部分。
