Abstract :
[en] Heritage can be framed in different ways, and the literature offers a variety of categories that are often trapped in dichotomies (such as material vs. immaterial heritage; natural vs. cultural heritage), as well as categories that try to overcome such dichotomies through more holistic concepts, such as territorial heritage or, as the WRENCH project explores, that of living heritage.
With this webinar focused on insurgencies, we want to introduce the concept Museology uses since the 70s, integral or integrated museum, and reflect together on the possibilities of framing heritage, of any kind, not as a monolithic concept, but as the result of a process of heritagization that takes into account the perceptions, demands, needs and dreams of people from the grassroots who live with the heritage, define what heritage is for them, use it and transform it. We'll focus on experiences coming from marginalized communities that have used the process of heritagization as an opportunity for emancipation, give examples from a variety of geographies of how specific types of museums, ecomuseums, or other forms beyond any codified label can function as tools that catalyze such emancipatory processes, and conclude by suggesting some possible research methods that could be included in the WRENCH toolbox.
