ABSTRACT
This final chapter revisits the starting points of the book, exploring the possibility for repositioning the minor, the everyday, the ordinary, as a dimension of the past in the present. This also implies an ontological decentering of heritage away from inventories and lists, away from the major, the official, the authorized, the monumental, the masterpiece, and towards the life lived, the personal, the body. However, this is not just an inversion of major and minor, nor a reproduction of the dualism. Using the insights of Erin Manning, the chapter proposes that the potential of thinking with plural heritages is to understand relationalities, to see the flow between and across minor and major, to catch a glimpse of how an unknown life story suddenly hinges on a famous historical moment. It is also to think with the vibrancy of heritage as an endless relationality of materials, bodies, affects, and memories.
