Abstract

This article compares how multi‐ethnic heritage is
conceptualized and how it is treated in reality. Focusing on the case
of Chişinău—a borderland city that was once known forits cultural
diversity—the article examines the complex nature of opinions
about the city’s multicultural heritage expressed by representatives
of its cultural elite and collected as an interview corpus in 2012.
Then, the article looks at several recent heritage projects in
Chişinău and beyond (2010–2018) and analyzes to what extent the
heritage discourse is realized in practice, in a context where the
emergence of an approach focused on reconciliation and the
promotion of diversity is only a very recent development.
