“…Кроме того, критические исследования наследия активно вовлечены в масштабные современные дискуссии в области социальных и гуманитарных наук, чему способствует постулируемая ими необходимость постоянного обсуждения и пересмотра самих эпистемологических оснований концепции наследия. Их представители обращаются к соотношению понятия наследия и проблеме постгуманизма , деканонизации исторических музеев и традиционных техник репрезентации наследия в музейном пространстве [Ben-Ze'ev, Lomsky-Feder, 2020], вопросу использования новых медиа и дигитализации наследия .…”

Large-scale transformations in social sciences and the Humanities in the 1960 and 1970s (such as the emergence of cultural studies, memory studies, postcolonial studies and gender studies, public history, etc.) influenced the formation of heritage studies in the 1980s. Within the framework of this field, the concept of heritage has been substantially revised: it began to cover the sphere of the ordinary and everyday; its temporal boundaries have changed, so the objects related to the recent past began to be considered as heritage; the idea of de-monopolization of state experts in determining heritage was proposed. In the 2000s, a separate area of critical heritage studies emerged within heritage studies. Its purpose was to study the discursive practices of defining and using heritage, used primarily by the state and international institutions (the so-called “authorized heritage discourse”, AHD, proposed by a theorist Laurajane Smith); as well as the problematization of heritage as a process of constant rethinking and redefining of identities and cultural values, which involves different social groups, communities and agents. The paper examines the transformation of the understanding of heritage-as-an-object into heritage as a social action and heritage-as-process discussed in heritage studies and critical heritage studies in European countries. It presents an overview of the key stages of their development and subsequent changes, the main research issues and problems, as well as their current debates.

“…Some were composed and sung at commemoration ceremonies, gradually becoming part of a canonical literary repertoire of bereavement (Lomsky-Feder, 2004). They were integral to school curricula and historical museums (Ben-Ze’ev and Lomsky-Feder, 2020).…”

“…The Palmach fighters are described as “almost children” (Sivan, 1991) and “ultimately young” (Alterman, 1947), an image that persisted even when they grew old (Spector-Mersel, 2008). At the Palmach Museum, the protagonists are depicted as young heroes and the narrative ends in the early 1950s, so they remain forever young (Ben-Ze’ev and Lomsky-Feder, 2020).…”

In the present era of fragmentation and instability, there is an urge to recreate “islands of solidarity,” sometimes by establishing what we define as “intergenerational heroes.” They are expected to carry a bonding memory, interpreting the past in light of present challenges and future dreams. The media fashions the role of these heroes following their death. By examining the reportage of Haim Guri, a prominent Israeli poet, we decode the character of the intergenerational hero. Through a qualitative analysis of articles and visual images, we discovered four qualities: First, he embodies a generational foundational event, drawing moral authority from having “been there.” Second, he establishes strong bonds with other generational units. Third, throughout his life he is immersed in public events, and fourth, he is portrayed as consisting of inherently contradictory traits that attract a variety of audiences. We conclude by considering the “shelf life” of the intergenerational hero.

“…These detailed intellectual genealogies anchor the elements of canonization in the curriculum, which serve to legitimate knowledge and progress by rendering prominent certain scholarly figures. Canonical figures serve as a beacon to future generations, modeling disciplinary heritage for the field (Ben-Ze’ev & Lomsky-Feder, 2020). Lineage shapes how a discipline is defined, seen, understood, and whose voices matter (Zerubavel, 2012).…”

Reimagining Social Work Ancestry: Toward Epistemic Decolonization

Contextualizing disciplinary histories through the personal stories of forerunners creates compelling narratives of the craft of evolving professions. By looking to our intellectual and practitioner ancestors, we participate in a dialogue with a history that shapes our contemporary professional identities and aspirations for the future. Grounded in a decolonizing approach to social work, this article examines how the discipline shapes its professional identity and ways of knowing by centering the role of canonical founders in the social work curriculum. The global social work origin story in the curriculum often centers on Anglo-American ancestors that illustrate the development of the disciplinary boundaries of the international profession. One method of decolonizing social work epistemology at the intersection of ancestors and professional lineage could be to look to public history as a pedagogical tool in the curriculum. The article concludes by examining the use of podcasts as having the potential to decolonize the process of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating local knowledge of ancestors thus challenging the top-down approach to expert-driven epistemologies.
