Conserving Cultural Heritage Resilience Forcibly

项目摘要

Prior to Syria's devastating civil war and escalating refugee crisis at least 12% of Syria's gross domestic product was generated by cultural heritage crafts (Jordan Times Online, 2016). Yet by 2015, approximately 80% of these artisans had left their trade, and fled to neighbouring states in search of safety and security (Jordan Times Online, 2016) resulting in a grave threat to Syria's cultural heritage. However, whilst there remains a marginal community of artisans in Syria, the forcibly displaced Syrian artisans in Jordan are reviving their cultural heritage crafts by operating in Jordan's informal economy and adopting economic and cultural survival strategies to create their own pathways and networks to provide a livelihood for themselves and their families. The vast majority of Syrian refugees are living in extreme poverty earning below the Jordanian poverty line equivalent to US$ 96 per person per month (UNHCR, 2016). They are living with minimal prospects for economic, social and cultural development and integration. This project addresses Jordan's development challenges arising from the burgeoning influx of forcibly displaced Syrians by exploring the resilience, vulnerabilities and identities of the forcibly displaced Syrian artisans residing in Jordan since the war in Syria erupted in 2011. Doing so will help us answer questions about the socio-political impact of engaging in cultural heritage crafts on the forcibly displaced Syrian community in Jordan, the impact of cultural appropriation through 'made in Jordan' Syrian cultural heritage products on the conservation of the Syrian cultural heritage by the forcibly displaced artisans, and the impact of displacement and the arising marginalised masculinities, on the resilience of neo-patriarchal displaced Arab communities. Indeed, focusing on their resilience will help us to understand how the forcibly displaced artisans overcome social, economic and political vulnerabilities, and thus, how they respond to economic and social upheaval. In doing so, we contribute to the rapidly growing resilience discourse which has largely ignored the resilience of forcibly displaced artisans, and forcibly displaced Syrians.Mixed methods will be used to collect data from multidisciplinary stakeholders and 80 forcibly displaced Syrian artisans residing in Jordan. In addition, the project has three capacity building components. The first is to enhance Jordan's social research capacity by training postdoctoral researchers, and the second advances the largely misunderstood social enterprise model by training trainers to deliver a social enterprise start up programme for forcibly displaced artisans. The third focuses on the forcibly displaced artisans by offering them social enterprise start up training and mentoring. Stakeholder engagement is a key focus of the project and thus an introductory event and dissemination event will be held in Amman - Jordan. The introductory event will help to alleviate any suspicions about the project's aims, and the dissemination event will focus on research, practice and policy development for the forcibly displaced.The project will be realised through the interdisciplinary strengths of the team of investigators and project partners. Haya Al-Dajani (Principle Investigator) brings a gender, enterprise and displacement expertise, whilst Geoff Wilson (Co-Investigator) is an expert on resilience and Marta Rabikowska (Co-Investigator) is an expert in the creative industries and visual and sensorial methods. The Jordanian Partner the King Hussein Foundation Information and Research Centre is an internationally recognised centre focused on socio-economic planning and transformation through research, advocacy and knowledge transfer. The second Jordanian Partner - Tiraz is a unique non-profit cultural foundation and cultural heritage research centre dedicated to promoting and preserving the threatened Arab cultural heritage.

在叙利亚毁灭性的内战和不断升级的难民危机之前，叙利亚至少有12%的国内生产总值是由文化遗产工艺品产生的（约旦时报在线，2016）。然而，到2015年，大约80%的工匠离开了他们的行业，逃往邻国寻求安全和保障（约旦时报在线，2016年），导致叙利亚的文化遗产受到严重威胁。然而，虽然叙利亚仍有一个边缘化的工匠社区，但在约旦被迫流离失所的叙利亚工匠正在恢复其文化遗产手工艺，他们在约旦的非正规经济中经营，并采取经济和文化生存战略，创造自己的途径和网络，为自己和家人提供生计。绝大多数叙利亚难民生活在极端贫困中，收入低于约旦贫困线，相当于每人每月96美元（难民署，2016年）。他们的经济、社会和文化发展和融合前景渺茫。该项目探讨自2011年叙利亚战争爆发以来居住在约旦的被迫流离失所的叙利亚工匠的复原力、脆弱性和身份，以应对因被迫流离失所的叙利亚人迅速涌入而给约旦带来的发展挑战。这样做将有助于我们回答以下问题：从事文化遗产手工艺对约旦被迫流离失所的叙利亚社区的社会政治影响，通过“约旦制造”的叙利亚文化遗产产品对被迫流离失所的工匠保护叙利亚文化遗产的影响，以及流离失所和日益边缘化的男子气概的影响，新父权制的流离失所的阿拉伯社区的复原力。事实上，关注他们的复原力将有助于我们了解被迫流离失所的工匠如何克服社会、经济和政治脆弱性，从而了解他们如何应对经济和社会动荡。在这样做的过程中，我们有助于快速增长的韧性话语，在很大程度上忽略了被迫流离失所的工匠的韧性，被迫流离失所的叙利亚人。混合方法将用于收集多学科利益相关者和居住在约旦的80名被迫流离失所的叙利亚工匠的数据。此外，该项目有三个能力建设组成部分。第一个是通过培训博士后研究人员来提高约旦的社会研究能力，第二个是通过培训培训人员为被迫流离失所的工匠提供社会企业启动计划来推进被广泛误解的社会企业模式。第三个重点是被迫流离失所的工匠，为他们提供社会企业启动培训和指导。利益攸关方的参与是该项目的一个主要重点，因此将在约旦安曼举行介绍性活动和宣传活动。介绍性活动将有助于消除对项目目标的任何怀疑，宣传活动将侧重于为被迫流离失所者开展的研究、实践和政策制定。该项目将通过调查人员和项目合作伙伴团队的跨学科优势来实现。Haya Al-Dajani（首席调查员）带来了性别，企业和流离失所的专业知识，而Geoff Wilson（共同调查员）是复原力专家，玛尔塔Rabikowska（共同调查员）是创意产业和视觉和感官方法的专家。约旦合作伙伴侯赛因国王基金会信息和研究中心是一个国际公认的中心，专注于通过研究，宣传和知识转让进行社会经济规划和转型。第二个约旦合作伙伴-提拉兹是一个独特的非营利文化基金会和文化遗产研究中心，致力于促进和保护受到威胁的阿拉伯文化遗产。
