FORUM: From Siwa to Cairo, the making of heritage feeds from the Others’ desire
Article (in French) published in Égypte/Monde arabe n°5-6, 2009: Pratiques du patrimoine en Égypte et au Soudan. Issue edited by Omnia Aboukorah, Jean-Gabriel Leturcq, Alain Roussillon †.
The idea is to compare the designation of building features as heritage in Cairo and in Siwa Oasis in Egypt, apparently two very contrasted situations. The local actors (to be distinguished by categories), in Siwa and in Cairo, speak about architecture to actually mention something else.
