Biçim Değiştiren Bir Gelecek İnşa Aracı Olarak Miras

Miras çalışmaları ve bu çalışmaları biçimlendiren koruma diskuru, günümüzde genişleyen anlam ve eylem sahasıyla bağlantılı şekilde, kimi zaman belirgin birer paradigma değişimi halini alan çeşitli dönüşümlerin odağı konumundadır. Aynı biçimde, iklim değişimi, artan kentleşme, göç, savaş, enerji krizi gibi küresel sorunlar ve hızla değişen sosyal ve ekonomik konjonktür, mirasın ele alınışı ve yorumlanışı üzerinde önemli etkiler yaratmaktadır. Bu durumun, koruma kuram ve pratiğinin, öne çıkan güncel meseleler ve arzu edilen ortak geleceğe ulaşma sorunsalı bağlamında yeniden konumlanmasına yönelik bir gereksinim doğurduğunu öne sürmek olanaklıdır. Bu makale, koruma disiplininin geçirmekte olduğu başkalaşımdan hareketle, geçmiş ve günümüzle bağlantılı bir gelecek inşası düşüncesini tartışmaya açmaktadır. Amaca dönük, sistematik bir gelecek inşa sürecinde mirasın açımladığı olanaklılık ve korumanın bilhassa sürdürülebilir kalkınma olmak üzere gelecek biçimlendirici ilkeler ile kurduğu paralellik bu tartışmanın esas mesnetlerini oluşturmaktadır. Alanın geçirdiği dönüşümdeki belirgin kırılma noktalarının ve öne çıkan akımların izlerini süren çalışma, aynı zamanda, kapasite geliştirme yaklaşımını bu süreçteki önemli anahtar araçlar arasına konumlamaktadır. Bu sayede, kimseyi geride bırakmayan, kapsayıcı ve çoğulcu bir miras paradigmasının yaratımında, yenilikçi ve disiplinlerarası açılımların sunduğu olanakların da irdelendiğini ifade etmek mümkündür.

Heritage as a Shape-Shifting Future-Making Tool

Heritage studies and the forming discourse are the focus of various transformations. These transformations can be interpreted as a paradigm shift, affecting the broadening realm of meaning and action in contemporary times. Likewise, global threats such as climate change, increasing urbanization, migration, war, energy crisis, as well as the rapidly changing social and economic conjuncture have significant effects on the understanding and interpretation of heritage. It can be argued that this situation necessitates repositioning conservation theory and practice in the context of prominent current issues and the pursuit of building a shared future.This article aims to discuss the possibility of creating a future intertwined with the past and present, based on the metamorphosis that the field has been going through. The instrumentalization of heritage for a purposeful, systematic future-making process and its parallels with the forming principles, sustainable development in particular, constitute the main basis of this discussion. The study traces the significant points and rising trends in the transformation of the field while identifying capacity building among the key tools within the process. The possibilities offered by innovative and interdisciplinary initiatives are also examined in the creation of an inclusive and pluralistic heritage paradigm that does not leave anyone behind.
