The debate about what kind of city Istanbul is or should be ¿ Islamic, traditional, oriental, a thirdworld metropolis, (post-)colonial or even global ¿ has been going on for a long time. Throughout the last century, this was an important issue in urban politics in general and in heritage policy and the construction of national history in particular. Heritage policy designates buildings either as heritage to be protected or as dispensable. The project ¿Istanbul Heritage - Valuable and Dispensable¿ investigates the ethical negotiations about the use of the urban structures and historical built environment in the city. These negotiations have a central ethical trait because the definition of what constitutes valuable heritage and what is dispensable implies obligations for each citizen. Consequently, it exceeds moral prescriptions. The contribution of this project to the research group is to discuss in-depth the importance of history, heritage policy and (social or collective) memory for urban ethics. This research project investigates how elements of the built environment and historical examples are attached to social actors and thus become instrumental in creating an ethics of ¿good¿ and ¿correct¿ life. The negotiations about urban heritage, therefore, relate not only to the question of what character the city should have, but also to the issue of who should live in the city and how.In the case of Istanbul between 1910 and 2013, this proposed ethical actor is always a ¿modern¿ subject. For this subject the city has to be shaped in a ¿modern¿ way; on the other hand, s/he has to prove her/himself worthy of this modernity. In the framework of this project of modernity, however, the past and the protection of its built remains always played a decisive role ¿ as paradoxical as this may sound. The modern city and the modern citizen are required to be aware of their ¿roots,¿ to treat them with respect and to conserve them by means of heritage protection. In the case of Istanbul, the relationship between the modern citizen and her/his historical heritage has constituted and continues to constitute a matter of contention. The modern citizen assumes responsibility for her/his heritage ¿ however, how should he or she choose between the many pasts at hand? Five case studies in the urban space of Istanbul will be carried out and will use historical discourse analysis in order to understand the conflicts about heritage as ethical negotiations. Taken together, they focus on the actors involved, on changes over time in the heritage discourse and on a potential boom of urban ethics in the past decade.

关于伊斯坦布尔是或应该是什么样的城市的争论已经持续了很长一段时间：伊斯兰，传统，东方，第三世界大都会，（后）殖民地甚至全球。在整个上世纪，这是城市政治中的一个重要问题，特别是在遗产政策和国家历史建设中。遗产政策将建筑物指定为受保护的遗产或遗产。该项目？《伊斯坦布尔遗产--有价值的和可有可无的》调查了关于使用城市结构和城市历史建筑环境的道德谈判。这些谈判有一个核心的道德特点，因为什么是宝贵的遗产，什么是不可剥夺的遗产的定义意味着每个公民的义务。因此，它超越了道德规范。该项目对研究小组的贡献是深入讨论历史、遗产政策和（社会或集体）记忆对城市伦理的重要性。本研究项目调查了建筑环境和历史实例的元素如何附着于社会行为者，从而有助于创造良好和正确的生活伦理。因此，关于城市遗产的谈判不仅涉及城市应该具有什么样的特征的问题，而且涉及谁应该在城市中生活以及如何生活的问题。在1910年至2013年的伊斯坦布尔的案例中，这一拟议中的伦理行为者始终是一个“现代”主题。对于这个主题，城市必须以现代的方式塑造;另一方面，他必须证明自己配得上这种现代性。然而，在这个现代性项目的框架中，过去和对它的建筑遗迹的保护总是起着决定性的作用，这听起来可能很矛盾。现代城市和现代公民需要意识到它们的根源，尊重它们，并通过遗产保护来保护它们。就伊斯坦布尔而言，现代公民与其历史遗产之间的关系一直是并将继续是一个有争议的问题。现代公民承担起对她/他的遗产的责任，然而，他或她应该如何在手头的许多过去之间做出选择？在伊斯坦布尔的城市空间的五个案例研究将进行，并将使用历史话语分析，以了解有关遗产的伦理谈判的冲突。总的来说，他们关注的是参与者，随着时间的推移，遗产话语的变化，以及过去十年中城市伦理的潜在繁荣。
