Abstract In this paper I examine the way in which violence, human rights and indigenous heritage were being stressed and accommodated in the “intercultural” policies implemented in Argentina between 2016 and 2019. In order to do this, rather than analyzing how heritage is built or what it is, I approach the heritage instituted as a human right in a double aspect. On the one hand, relieving its metacultural character, that is, the reflections it puts into play about culture. The evaluative and affective accentuation of certain values, knowledge, stories and experiences as heritage is based on and, in parallel, delimits a vision of the world that defines the culture itself at all times. On the other hand, on its performative faculty; in what heritage does in the framework of governance patterns of an oligarchy that combined neoliberalism and conservatism in Argentina. The ultimate purpose of these considerations is to highlight some edges of the indigenist policy of recent years that was not taken into account and contribute to the discussion of heritage and human rights policies as modalities of intercultural coexistence.

Keywords : Heritage; Human rights; Institutional violence; Indigenist policy (2016-2019).
