“…Especially in the current formative stage of the EHL it matters how much the dynamic processes of forming a heritage are affected by generally fixed contexts and related understandings. Different scholars have written about the transformative potential of heritage that contributes to debates over controversies and therefore facilitates societal changes (Harrison 2013;Turunen 2019). One criticism concerning AHD is its homogenising attempt: although it promotes common views and consensus, the ideas and concepts of heritage are not problematised (Lähdesmäki 2019).…”

This article scrutinises the subject positions of 'being', 'becoming' and 'challenging' European in the context of the European Heritage Label (EHL), a flagship cultural heritage action of the European Union. While the positions are widely used in academia to analyse the relationship between the Central and East European (CEE) countries and the EU/Europe, the setting of the current research shows how the power dynamics between CEE countries and the EU contribute to forming 'European heritage' and contribute to the EHL as EU-level authorised heritage discourse in the making. Simultaneously, the transformative potential of heritage makes these subject positions visible and opens them up for changes. THIS ARTICLE FOCUSES ON THE FORMING OF EUROPEAN CULTURAL heritage from the perspective of the multifaceted relationship between the Central and East European (CEE) countries and the EU/Europe. 1 The relationship is illuminated in scholarly discussion on the basis of three subject positions: the initial two are the positions of 'being' European and 'becoming' European that indicate identification, and the third is 'challenging' European, which is critical towards the EU and its policies. While these three subject positions are not unique to CEE, they have been extensively used and elaborated both in academic and public discourse in the framework of the common communist past and the exceptionally broad EU accession process. These analyses form a valuable background context for the current article. This article offers a novel perspective on the topic by making visible how these subject positions endure and are actualised in the sphere of European cultural heritage. First, the

“…En la cuestión de lugares de memoria se percibe que, a la hora de describir y justificar ese significado histórico para obtener el Sello Europeo, se introduce en la narrativa con asiduidad la paz y la democracia, llegando a tener una posición central (Turunen, 2019). Este es el caso de bienes como el Palacio de la Paz de la Haya (Países Bajos), los Sitios de la Paz de Westfalia (Alemania) y varios sitios relacionados con la Primera y Segunda Guerra Mundial.…”

“…Este es el caso de bienes como el Palacio de la Paz de la Haya (Países Bajos), los Sitios de la Paz de Westfalia (Alemania) y varios sitios relacionados con la Primera y Segunda Guerra Mundial. Referencias a los derechos humanos (como la Carta de la Ley de Abolición de la Pena de Muerte de 1867, Portugal) y la solidaridad (por ejemplo, el Centro Europeo de Solidaridad, Polonia) también son comunes (Turunen, 2019). No es posible olvidar cómo la integración europea se presenta aún como un resultado de la voluntad de mantener la paz en Europa, de manera que la paz se convierte en una base fundante de la propuesta y narrativa europea.…”

“…Sin embargo, las justificaciones y vínculos con esos valores de la democracia y los derechos humanos continúan a menudo siendo vagos: de hecho, hay una discusión limitada sobre qué significan en realidad estos valores o cómo aplicarlos al definir la importancia europea de los potenciales sitios EHL (Turunen, 2019). Así, es común que de vez en cuando se generen debates en torno a estos valores y los problemas de discriminación y derechos humanos que sigue afrontando el continente europeo en la actualidad, como por ejemplo el rol de la paz ante la crisis actual de personas refugiadas en las fronteras de la Unión Europea, entre otros diversos conflictos actuales (Mäkinen, 2019).…”

Este estudio aborda el debate actual sobre la posible inscripción de bienes vinculados a conflicto en el seno de la Convención de Patrimonio Mundial de UNESCO. Analiza decisiones del Comité de Patrimonio Mundial, tanto recientes como su evolución en el tiempo, junto con lecturas de informes realizados por diversos agentes en la materia. El estudio evidencia las bases y dificultades actuales en torno a la temática y traslada este debate a otras figuras de UNESCO, propuestas de Naciones Unidas en materia de derechos humanos y otros organismos internacionales, de cara a promover vías y caminos para garantizar un debate orientado. De esta manera, se visibiliza y promueve el necesario debate en torno a la patrimonialización de elementos que nos remiten a conflictos y violaciones de derechos humanos en nuestra historia y que deberá ser también abordado en los próximos años por parte de UNESCO y el Comité de Patrimonio Mundial, entre otros.

“…Although we mainly engage here with the theory and methodology behind our collaborative work and conceptual innovation, a short introduction to our fieldwork is needed before we enter these debates. The European Heritage Label (EHL) is the EU's heritage action initiated in 2011 to highlight the so-called European significance (see Lähdesmäki and Mäkinen 2019;Turunen 2019) of heritage sites across Europe. Creating an idea of joint European cultural heritage is fundamentally a political act.…”

Challenges and Solutions in Ethnographic Research: Ethnography with a Twist seeks to rethink ethnography 'outside the box' of its previous tradition and to develop ethnographic methods by critically discussing process, ethics, impact and knowledge production in ethnographic research. This interdisciplinary edited volume argues for a 'twist' that supports openness, courage, and creativity to develop and test innovative and unconventional ways of thinking and doing ethnography. 'Ethnography with a twist' means both an intentional aim to conduct ethnographic research with novel approaches and methods but also sensitivity to recognize and creativity to utilize different kinds of 'twist moments' that ethnographic research may create for the researcher. This edited volume critically evaluates new and old methodological tools and their ability to engage with questions of power difference. It proposes new collaborative methods that allow for co-production and co-creation of research material as well as shared conceptual work and wider distribution of knowledge. The book will be of use to ethnographers in humanities and social science disciplines including sociology, anthropology and communication studies.
