ABSTRACT
If the previous chapter provided the instructions for operating the archival machinery of the Jewish National Fund and the Zionist movement, this chapter observes its residue, what the archive could not have predicted: the types defined as the other of the idealized Zionist body. This chapter delves into the social hierarchies of the Zionist civil landscape and observes the role of the archive in shaping these distinctions and embedding them in the landscape. It outlines the writing of bodies of women, Arabs and Jewish refugees into the archive, as distinct from the body of the Zionist pioneer, who was either born in Palestine, joined the Zionist movement before relocating to Palestine, or overcame the dilapidated Jewish body by cultivating the lands of the national home, while providing a nuanced outlook into the complexities of their relationships, in and outside the archive. This involves a view of other archival systems in the landscape, mainly photographic collections created by Arab residents of Palestine, which provided a different perspective on local lives.
