Wertegemeinschaft

Eher mit gemischten Gefühlen lese ich, daß "Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte des Völkerstrafrechts ist die Zerstörung von Kulturgütern als Kriegsverbrechen geahndet worden" wie etwa die FAZ schreibt.
Ein Ahmad al Faqi al Mahdi ist durch den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof in Den Haag. verurteilt worden, weil er vorislamisches Kulturgut zerstört hat. Die FAZ - und der Gerichtshof? - berufen sich auf eine "Weltgemeinschaft". Aber ein solches Subjekt, das kulturelle Werte durch ihre bloße Existenz zu globalen erhebt, gibt es nicht. Das ist so fragwürdig, wie die formelle Deklaration ausgewählter Kulturgüter und -stätten als "Welterbe". Dafür gibt es keinen Addressaten, außer partikulare.
Man kann nicht für die Zerstörungen sein, aber auf wen beruft man sich legitimerweise, um Zerstörungen von kulturellen Werten zu ahnden wie Verbrechen, die gegen Menschen begangen werden? Wessen Werte werden verteidigt?

Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa, dank der UNESCO neuerdings wieder ...

Erhaltene Seite des Originalmanuskripts
Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa... Seit wenigen Tagen ist das Kommunistisches Manifest UNESCO-Welterbe. Das Kommunistische Manifest, 1848 in London erschienen, und der erste Band des „Kapitals“ von Karl Marx gehören künftig zum Weltdokumentenerbe der UNESCO. Die deutsch-niederländische Gemeinschaftsnominierung ist ab sofort im „Memory of the World“-Register verzeichnet. Die Schriften von Marx seien aufgenommen worden, „weil diese weltweit einen großen Einfluss auf soziale Bewegungen hatten“, erklärte die UNESCO-Kommission. Vom Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei von 1848 existiere heute noch eine handschriftliche Seite, die in einem Amsterdamer Archiv lagert.

Soll das Konzentrationslager Buchenwald kulturelles Welterbe werden?

Die Stadt Weimar bemüht sich, unterstützt vom Leiter der Gedenkstätte, das ehemalige Konzentrationslager Buchenwald als Weltkulturerbe anerkennen zu lassen. Es wäre das erste Mal, daß ein Ort massenhafter Verbrechen in den Rang eines Weltkulturerbes erhoben würde.
Es gibt auch Gegenstimmen. Orte des Verbrechens könnten und dürften niemals eine solche Anerkennung finden, denn Verbrechen solchen Ausmaßes seien "nicht Kultur".

 Das ist eine riskante Argumentation, weil sie darauf hinausläuft, Gewalt und Verbrechen aus dem Kulturbegriff auszuschließen. Unterschlagen würde damit eine Dialektik, von der das Konzept des Welterbes selbst zehrt: alles was an dieser kulturellen Überlieferung von Barbarei kontaminiert ist, wird durch seine Kulturalisiserung verdrängt und gleichsam unsichtbar.
Eine unter Schutz gestellte Stahlfabrik sollen wir als Kathedrale der Industrialisierung und nicht als Ort entfremdender Arbeitsbedingungen und etwa Produktion von Rüstungsgütern wahrnehmen. Die Fragen nach den Quellen des Reichtums und der Macht, die einem indischen Mogul die Errichtung eines märchenhaftes Mausoleums (Taj Mahal) erlaubt, soll nicht gestellt werden.
Genau diese Kulturalisierung der Barbarei ist aber ein Effekt der Unterschutzstellung im Namen eines sogenannten Welterbes. Es soll ein Kanon global gültiger kultureller Werte geschaffen werden, der eine positive (vor allem ästhetische) Anerkennung erheischt. Und das durchaus im Sinne des Konzepts der Sehenswürdigkeit, deren Wert und Bedeutung schon vorab postuliert und verbrieft ist und somit jedem sich immer wieder erneuernden Diskurs entzogen, der diese Bedeutung befragen und infragestellen könnte.
Die Verantwortlichen der Stadt Weimar und der Leiter der Gedenkstätte betonen, daß es genau um diese Dialektik von Hochkultur (Stadt) und Verbrechen (Lager) ginge. Machte man Ernst damit, machte es nur Sinn, wenn es Konsequenzen für das - vielfach problematische - Konzept des Welterbes hätte. Aber in dessen Praxis ist eine reflexive Problematisierung des kulturellen Erbes nicht vorgesehen.
Und: So fragwürdig die Attitude ist, mit der sich eine hand voll von Kulturbürokraten zum globalen Erblasser ernennt, so fragwürdig wäre der Effekt, der nun auch ein in Deutschland liegendes NS-Konzentrationslager einem globalen Erben überantwortet und damit auch die Frage nach Schuld und Verantwortung verschieben würde.
