Heritage value from below A local community perspective on conservation, preservation and authenticity in SE Sweden

  • Ludvig Papmehl-Dufay Linnaeus University

Resumo

This paper discusses how archaeological heritage can function as a focus of community identity in a rural setting, and what happens when an original monument is replaced by a copy. The case study presented deals with a visually striking ancient monument on the island of Öland, SE Sweden, that was accidentally broken in 2014 and later reconstructed. This case thus touches upon concepts such as authenticity, age value and aura of ancient objects and monuments, but also community engagement in local heritage and the ability of archaeology in adding value to existing sites and monuments. It is concluded that a dissonance often exists between the official assessment of heritage value, and values appreciated by the local community. In the latter, social value can be seen as connected to the concept of pastness, where a range of factors both material and immaterial combine to render a monument or a site its perceived significance.Resumo: Este artigo discute como o patrimônio arqueológico pode funcionar como um foco de identidade comunitária em um ambiente rural, e o que acontece quando um monumento original é substituído por uma cópia. O estudo de caso apresentado trata de um monumento antigo visualmente impressionante na ilha de Öland, sudeste da Suécia, que foi quebrado acidentalmente em 2014 e posteriormente reconstruído. Este caso, portanto, aborda conceitos como autenticidade, valor de idade e aura de objetos e monumentos antigos, mas também o envolvimento da comunidade no patrimônio local e a capacidade da arqueologia em acrescentar valor aos monumentos locais e sítios existentes. É concluído que existe uma dissonância muitas vezes entre a avaliação oficial do valor patrimonial e os valores apreciados pela comunidade local. Neste último caso, o valor social pode ser visto como conectado ao conceito de passado, onde uma gama de fatores tanto materiais quanto imateriais se combinam para dar a um monumento ou local seu significado percebido.
