在遗产理论和实践中，参与现在都是一个关键问题。参与不是游客数量或其他影响评估的问题，而是遗产本身实践和意义的组成部分；遗产是指在遗产遗址及其周围由各种人进行的见证、解释、纪念和挪用行为。对参与的类似担忧在美术中也很明显，在美术中，表现已经凌驾于物质形式之上。本文以参与的理念对Long Kesh and the Maze监狱遗址的遗产保护实践进行了思考。除了相对较小的上市路段外，它的建筑在2006年被拆除，大部分场地都荒废了。在暴力、受害者、宗派主义、恐怖主义，特别是1981年绝食抗议的遗留问题上存在分歧，使其作为冲突后遗产目的地和冲突解决地的发展计划停滞不前。监狱的过去在关于其未来可能的用途以及更广泛地说关于冲突遗产在解决冲突进程中的作用的辩论中仍然发挥着相当大的作用。这一章的问题是：参与能解锁这个有争议的监禁地点的遗产吗？它反映了自贝尔法斯特协定签署以来，过去二十年来关于Long Kesh和The Maze监狱监禁遗产的辩论中争论不休和达成共识的时刻，但也探讨了关注非物质和物质、表演和空间方面的问题，可能会提供另一种理解其遗产的方式。
In both heritage theory and practice, participation is now a key concern. Participation is not a matter of visitor numbers or other evaluations of impact but integral to the practice and meaning of heritage itself; heritage is located in acts of witnessing, interpreting, memorialising and appropriating undertaken by all kinds of people at and around sites of heritage. A similar concern with participation is evident in fine art, where performance has taken primacy over the material form. This paper ‘thinks with’ ideas of participation in relation to the practice of heritage at the prison site of Long Kesh and the Maze. Apart from relatively small listed sections, its buildings were demolished in 2006 and most of the site is deserted. Disagreements over the meaning of violence, victimhood, sectarianism, terrorism, and, in particular, the legacy of the hunger strikes of 1981, have halted plans for its development as a post-conflict heritage destination and place of conflict resolution. The past of the prison still exerts considerable power in debates over its possible future use and, more generally, over the role of conflict heritage in the conflict resolution process. This chapter asks: could participation unlock the heritage of this contested site of incarceration? It reflects upon moments of contest and consensus in the debate about the heritage of imprisonment at Long Kesh and the Maze over the last twenty years, since the signing of the Belfast Agreement, but also explores how a focus upon the immaterial as well as material, performative as well as spatial, may offer an alternative way of understanding its heritage.
