ABSTRACT The Taliban insurgency and related cultural heritage iconoclasm exacerbated the challenges faced by Swat Valley communities in Northwest Pakistan. Activists within Swat alongside national and international NGOs are helping to reconstruct and protect pre-Islamic cultural heritage sites in the area, which is outlined here. The article highlights the role of heritage activism and counter-iconoclastic drive within Swat as a powerful social drive for reconciliation against a perceived bias that equates Pashtun with Taliban. Sense of place, identity and social and political change influenced both the rise of the Taliban and the reaction against them within Swat. The central argument in this article is shaped on ethnographic participatory research carried out by an Italian NGO, Pakistani archaeologists and activists and the writer, as part of a drive to make pre-Islamic heritage and cultural resource tourism sustainable in Swat in the wake of the post-Taliban reconstruction. Issues of identity and loyalty to insurgent groups have also affected other social groups across the globe. In this light, a discussion of the process of activism through heritage preservation and promotion using the Swat case study may also provide useful insights for other post-conflict communities elsewhere.

斯瓦特山谷的日常遗产行动主义:对希望政治的民族志反思

摘要 塔利班叛乱和相关的文化遗产破坏行为加剧了巴基斯坦西北部斯瓦特山谷社区面临的挑战。斯瓦特的活动家与国家和国际非政府组织一起帮助重建和保护该地区的前伊斯兰文化遗址,此处概述。这篇文章强调了斯瓦特内部的遗产激进主义和反传统驱动力的作用,作为一种强大的社会驱动力,可以与将普什图人等同于塔利班的感知偏见和解。地方感、身份认同以及社会和政治变化影响了塔利班的崛起以及斯瓦特内部对他们的反应。本文的中心论点是根据意大利非政府组织、巴基斯坦考古学家和活动家以及作家进行的人种学参与研究形成的,作为在塔利班后重建之后使斯瓦特的前伊斯兰遗产和文化资源旅游业可持续发展的一部分。对叛乱团体的身份和忠诚问题也影响了全球其他社会团体。有鉴于此,使用斯瓦特案例研究通过遗产保护和推广来讨论激进主义的过程也可能为其他地方的其他冲突后社区提供有用的见解。
