Beyond the heritage consensus
Forms of Resistance and Dissident Uses of Heritage

Guest editors Cyril Isnart and Anaïs Leblon

An important paradigm is found throughout the social sciences which deal
with
the social uses of heritage: to speak about heritage is not merely to speak
about
things (buildings, monuments, works of art, intangible assets, whether
landscapes or
animals) but also, in some ways, to qualify – or requalify – the objects
termed
"heritage". Analysed as a process, heritagization proves itself more complex
and
more debated than what the world of cultural policies can ultimately show.
In fact, it
goes as far as to involve explicit forms of resistance that contest the
heritage use of
an asset and undeniably constitute a privileged and classic subject of
heritage
studies. However, these sometimes hide another more discreet side of
heritage
resistance: for the last thirty years or so, dissident uses of heritage have
been
common practice among minority communities and cultures, who adopt
heritagization
as their grammar and vocabulary of protest in the context of
counter-heritagization or
new forms of heritagization.

A dualist interpretation, with authentic, despoiled indigenous people on the
one hand and perverse forces of a heritagization imposed from above on the
other, is
therefore simplistic – if not romantic. It does not take into account the
dynamics of
appropriation and of political and cultural recycling of heritage dynamics.
Analysing
these heritage positions and practices by seeing them as part of a continuum
of
resistance, extending from the contesting of heritage uses to the dissident
use of
heritage, throws new light on the social effects of heritagization. Far from
merely
simplifying social relations by creating imagined communities and shared
symbols,
heritagization also offers new space for the conflicts and negotiations
between
groups which are continually being redefined. These two sides of
heritagization
processes have rarely been considered together and the linking of them makes
it
possible to put the activities of the heritagization field back at the
centre of the actors'
practices in all their diversity of time and space.

This special issue of Civilisations thus hopes to examine, with no
geographical
or historical distinctions, the ways of contesting heritagization and of
using
heritagization to contest, by endeavouring to grasp what is at stake in
relations with
collective identities, political issues and heritagized objects in
situations of heritage
tension. The main themes proposed for reflection are, amongst possible
others, the
following:
- Heritage multivocality. The analysis of the construction of heritage
values
could be compared with the dissident voices of the actors resisting
heritagization in
order to pinpoint the mirror effects between the two discourses proposed,
but also in
order to describe the internal dissonances of each 'side', as these are not
necessarily
homogeneous or unambiguous.
- The emergence of alternative heritage fields. Counter-heritagizations
and dissident uses of heritage. Dissident voices always appear in a social
and
heritage arena which dictates its own rules. However, ranging from the
simple use of
heritagization to the subversion of values and objects, protest practices
sometimes
redefine the limits of the heritage arena.
- Charismatic figures and the construction of minorities. Here we will be
particularly interested in the question of how the individual figures of
heritage protest
and the groups they have been able to mobilize or in whose name they speak
are
linked. Issues of individual power are thus combined with those of social
and
community visibility in a relationship in which the dissident uses of
heritage play a
central role.

Propositions of articles either in English or French (title + 250 words
abstract)
should be sent before the 15th March 2011 both to the editorial board of the
journal ([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]) and to the guest
editors
of the journal issue, Cyril Isnart ([log in to unmask]) and Anaïs Leblon
([log in to unmask]).

Civilisations is a peer-reviewed journal of anthropology. Published
continuously since
1951, it features articles in French and English in the various fields of
anthropology,
without regional or time limitations. Revived in 2002 with a new editorial
board and a
new subtitle (Revue internationale d'anthropologie et de sciences humaines),
Civilisations particularly encourage the submission of articles where
anthropological
approaches meet other social sciences, to better tackle processes of society
making.
