The analysis of these cases reveals how the Heritage Plan is guided by ethnic and religious factors, whereby heritage assets are not necessarily promoted according to their full historical value, but are instead used to sustain current power structures.

Abstract

AbstractCultural heritage (e.g., historic buildings, memorials and museums) has been used to construct and negotiate various identities and meanings in the present, specifically in the context of nation-states. In transforming the past into heritage, however, States may disregard other histories—ones which deviate from the historical narratives they promote. In this paper, I discuss the case of the Heritage Plan, Israel’s official cultural heritage policy. Specifically, by using the discursive approach, I expose and assess cases of silencing competing histories which would challenge the history promoted by the Heritage Plan. My findings suggest that, in addition to privileging Jewish heritage, the Heritage Plan is used as a mechanism for erasing competing, non-Jewish histories. This article presents three case-studies of silencing: the first investigates the Druze heritage center; the second inquires into Israeli heritage practices in the West Bank; the third examines the Castel national heritage site associated with the 1948 war. The analysis of these cases reveals how the Heritage Plan is guided by ethnic and religious factors, whereby heritage assets are not necessarily promoted according to their full historical value, but are instead used to sustain current power structures.

The monument description is as follows: “At the center of the hall, on top of a black platform, [stands] an iron-made memorial torch. On the wooden walls of the hall hung the fallen soldiers' photos and names, in between the rows of photos stands a black pole caring the words 'Yizkor' [i.e. remember in Hebrew] as well as memorial details. Further down the wall [inscribed] a sentence from David's Elegy for Saul and Jonathan, including its translation into Arabic” (see: Yzkor website, https://www.izkor.gov.il/en_10dd8e4b5989259ce68ff3bd4e7d7071).48 Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage, Action Outlines for Preservation and Empowerment of National Heritage Infrastructures (Jerusalem: Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage, 2018).49 At the time of writing this article, the Oliphant House was still under renovation.
