ISIS and heritage destruction: a sentiment analysis / E. Cunliffe, L. Curini. - In: ANTIQUITY. - ISSN 0003-598X. - 92:364(2018 Aug 23), pp. 1094-1111. [10.15184/aqy.2018.134]
Abstract:
While periods of war have always seen cultural heritage placed at risk, the recent rise of ISIS has involved the deliberate targeting of heritage sites as part of a broader strategy towards local communities in Syria and Iraq. Using data collated from social media (Twitter), the authors conducted sentiment analysis of reactions to instances of heritage destruction and repurposing in the Middle East between 2015 and 2016. It is hoped that the insights gained can help the international community better tackle terrorism, protecting heritage and supporting affected communities.
