Abstrakt
Działania wymierzone w dziedzictwo kulturowe z zamiarem wsparcia nowych politycznych i społecznych celów w świecie antycznym i niestety obecnie było i jest powszechną praktyką reżimów autorytarnych. Faraonowie usuwali imiona swych poprzedników (i dłutowali własne) na egipskich obeliskach; król Edward I zabrał i przetransportował kamień ze Scone – szkocki kamień koronacyjny – do Opactwa Westminsterskiego w 1296; maoistowski Wielki Skok Naprzód doprowadził do zniszczenia całej chińskiej struktury feudalnej w połowie XX wieku. Naziści systematycznie bombardowali i zrównali z ziemią ponad 90% warszawskiego Starego Miasta; ISIS ostatnio zniszczyło grobowiec biblijnego proroka Jonasza w Iraku. Niszczenie dziedzictwa kulturalnego z premedytacją dotyczy także legitymowanych rządów, jak na przykład w RPA czy USA. Ma to znaczenie głównie w odniesieniu do zabytków i nazw ulic kojarzących się z kontrowersyjną przeszłością, jak niewolnictwo i nierówność rasowa. Zabytki i nazwy ulic, które łączą się z niewolnictwem i nierównością rasową, to poważne kwestie wytyczające i wzmacniające odrębną narrację kulturową, mające znaczenie na wielu płaszczyznach miejskich w RPA i USA. Ale prawu chroniącemu bądź niwelującemu kontrowersyjne zabytki i nazwy ulic w obu krajach poświęcono dotychczas mało uwagi. Niniejszy artykuł bada i konfrontuje ze sobą ramy prawne ochrony lub niwelacji kontrowersyjnych zabytków i zmieniania kontrowersyjnych nazw ulic w RPA i USA.
