Reconstruction of urban heritage in post-war Rome, 1944-1951: Transnational flows and national identity

意大利作为一个参考点，为世界各地的保护社区，由于在战后时期的遗产研究和城市规划的激烈发展。尽管学者们已经讨论了战后罗马城市重建和身份更新之间的相互联系，但跨国流动在这一联系中的作用却很少研究。本研究旨在探讨战后罗马1944年至1951年这一关键而未被充分研究的时期，在这一时期，通过重建活动重建新的民族认同，阻碍了与其他文化交流的复杂过程。跨国流动和国家复兴如何相互影响？考虑到建筑和建成环境可以创造和肯定文化价值，本研究将从城市遗产研究的学科视角来探讨这一研究问题。它将调查意大利城市文化和其他欧洲/美国文化之间的相互交流，评估它们对罗马重建战略的影响。此外，跨国流动意味着在创伤后集体记忆的形成过程中看待自己和他人的不同方式。在这方面，这项研究将有助于目前正在进行的关于冲突后文化遗产的全球辩论，并促进更好地了解全欧洲战后定居点所体现的共同文化和政治历史。

Italy serves as a point of reference for the conservation community worldwide, thanks to the intense development of heritage studies and urban planning during the post-war period. Although scholars have discussed the interconnection between urban reconstruction and identity renewal in post-war Rome, the role of transnational flows in this connection has been little studied. This research aims to examine the crucial and understudied period from 1944 to 1951 in post-war Rome, when the construction of a renewed national identity through reconstruction activities intersected intricate processes of exchange with other cultures. How did transnational flows and national renewal shape each other? Considering architecture and built environment can create and affirm cultural values, my research will explore the research question from the disciplinary perspective of urban heritage studies. It will investigate the reciprocal interchanges between Italian urban culture and other European/American cultures, evaluating their impacts on reconstruction strategies for Rome. Moreover, transnational flows imply different ways of viewing oneself and others in the formation of collective memories after trauma. In this vein, this research will contribute to the ongoing global debate on post-conflict cultural heritage and foster a better understanding of the shared cultural and political history embodied in Europe-wide post-war settlements.
