1.1. Jargon and Stakeholders

We cannot, it is not easy to demolish these important buildings and then we are going to construct a new set of image because it is to play with the peoples emotions peoples belonging. And Jennie Sjoholm what she did was because in this particular point of time there is a huge jargon on you know who is doing what and there are many reports coming on reports and reports.

In this chunk, we learn that demolishing important buildings is emotionally difficult for the community. Jennie Sjoholm's work focuses on the confusion created by many reports about the project's stakeholders and their roles.

Think of it like planning a big family event where everyone has different opinions. If there are too many ideas (or reports in this case), it can become overwhelming and lead to uncertainty about who should be in charge.

And in fact there also to understand the Kiruna character and the belonging of it like you can see this is the LKAB company land, and this is the Kiruna Kommun this is the service and the supply town and wherever the railway aspect is there this is the railway land, so you have these 3 are the major stakeholders of the Kiruna: one is the railway, the other one is the LKAB state-owned mining company and the other one is the Kiruna Kommun to serve the people.

This chunk identifies the three main stakeholders involved in Kiruna's situation: the railway, the LKAB mining company, and the Kiruna Kommun (local municipality). Each stakeholder plays a different role in shaping the future of the town.

It's like a school project group where one person is responsible for logistics (railway), another handles funding (LKAB), and the third represents the class's needs (Kiruna Kommun). Their collaboration is essential for success.

And a lot of documents a lot of heritage board there is lot of documents coming in Kiruna councils country administrative board, and LKAB and a lot of consultants which are developing all the reports but then Jennie what she did was she tried to really put together and she tried to analyse you know what is the purpose of this whole document and how are they related to the conservation of these heritage buildings.

Here, Jennie Sjoholm attempts to make sense of the numerous documents and reports being generated about Kiruna. She aims to assess their relevance to conserving the town's heritage buildings, showing that clarity and organization are crucial for effective communication.

Imagine trying to organize a library filled with countless books. Each report is like a book, and Jennie is like a librarian who must categorize them to find which ones are important for preserving the town's history.

And then in 1984 what you can see here is like it is all the red dots which are actually talking about the designated areas you know they are all the listed buildings around, and there is a conservation plan which has been adopted in 1984. And here the heritagisation has actually referred to various aspects; one is the addition of new heritage because when they came to know that yes the Kiruna is going to move further. And then there is a relocation aspect which has been planned out for these heritage buildings.

The heritagisation process started with a conservation plan adopted in 1984, which identified important buildings in Kiruna. As the town planned to relocate, new aspects of heritage were added to the conversation, including the relocation of these buildings.

Think of heritagisation like deciding which family heirlooms to take when moving to a new house. Just as some items may hold more sentimental value than others, certain buildings in Kiruna are recognized for their historical significance and need to be preserved.

And also the reaffirmation of already designated heritage so how they are giving a reaffirmation as a special importance on it again so that they emphasize that this is the most important building you need to keep that on the move as well. Re-interpretation of already designated heritage and the rejection of previously designated heritage this is where the whole process went on.

This chunk discusses how certain buildings' heritage status was reaffirmed, meaning they were recognized again as significant. The process involved reinterpreting old heritage and sometimes deciding to reject heritage claims on others, indicating a dynamic conversation around what constitutes heritage.

It's like a family deciding to keep certain traditions alive while letting go of others. Just as some traditions might be modified to fit modern life, the buildings in Kiruna need to be re-evaluated in the context of relocation.

Let us see how it went, and there have been a lot of the controversial aspects of how this particular culture has going to be taken into account in the move process so that is where even the general director of the national heritage board also wrote in a debate article that you know the battle is about which history we will be able to tell about Kiruna in the future and thereby about the modern Sweden of the 20th century right.

There are ongoing debates about which historical narratives will be upheld as Kiruna relocates. The general director of the national heritage board suggests that preserving culture through these histories is vital for defining modern Sweden.

Consider a city deciding which significant historical events to celebrate. The discussion about how to commemorate these events, while also considering the city’s future, highlights the complexities of cultural preservation amidst change.

And coming to the Heritagisation process I would like to emphasize on 3 important aspects one is a heritagisation, re-heritagisation and de-heritagisation. So one is the heritagisation process I just explained you that in 1984 the whole listed the conservation plan has been developed. And when Kiruna is on move when people know that these buildings are going to move to the new location as well and that is where they started reaffirming these the significance of these heritage properties even the old miner have stayed here the first miner have stayed here or his cottage or a railway track, railway coach you know like that there are various aspects which come into the picture and then they started re-heritagisation that is where Jennie calls it as re-heritagisation.

This chunk outlines three key processes surrounding the concept of heritagisation: heritagisation (the initial identification and preservation of heritage), re-heritagisation (the reevaluation and affirmation of heritage properties), and de-heritagisation (deciding what heritage may no longer be relevant).

Think of heritagisation as maintaining a garden. Initially, you plant seeds (heritagisation), but as time passes, you might need to tend to it, uproot weeds (de-heritagisation), and sometimes even plant new flowers or trees that represent your evolving taste (re-heritagisation).
