| Sumario: | This paper is about the relation between the concepts of Memory – Identity – Patrimony from an anthropological focus. Since the intrinsic ambiguity of those concepts, it´s considered the preponderant role play by the mechanism of memory/oblivion-individual identities/collective identity in the choose of what it will be considered patrimony inside a community. The concept of patrimony have not been the same along the history and its changing meaning have evolve since the idea of an illustrated treasure to the idea of a touristic resource, and rating it as a cultural product and a mechanism of identity construction. The museum is one of the institution in charge of determine and perpetuate what is consider patrimony and what is not. This could represent the past, in a reliable way or not, it could distort it from its selections and classifications, it could restrict the past because of its codes of historic representation, the way in which it tell it story, the way in which the artifacts are presented. The artifacts are gathered and presented to generate a particular sense to the visitor that observes it. |
