“…She asserts that examining these sites should be “by exploring [their] emotional and experiential realities,” hence shifting “from exclusively focusing on the heritage structure as an object to viewing heritage as a relationship” (Gantois, 2020: 183). Recently, Jelic and Staničić (2022: 480) called for embracing interdisciplinarity, reframing heritage “as a reflection of the past and future, simultaneously tangible and intangible, an object and an experience.”…”

This paper examines how armed conflict impacts the recalibration of Aleppo’s historic urban and cultural fabric, using the Al-Jdeideh quarter as a case study. This article critically reflects on the ongoing (post-)conflict, top-down (post-)reconstruction activities in Aleppo’s historic core, drawing on ethnographic research of visual mapping and semi-structured interviews with current Aleppo dwellers in the city and former dwellers displaced across Europe. Our findings highlight that the current reconstruction activities lack locals’ values and needs, and amplify the altered socio-economic dynamics between the (former) communities’ absence and presence. Therefore, these activities are resulting in a skewed representation of what once was a major hub of culture, commerce, heritage, and everyday life. As such, the paper argues that the current reconstruction attempts lack a comprehensive and context-specific approach, and need to explore more inclusive pathways of human-centered and sustainable recovery.
