Is heritage democratization possible and desirable?
Paulo Peixoto (CES/FEUC)
July 7th, 2010, 17:00, CES-Coimbra
Within "Heritage and Management of Historical Environment" Seminar Cycle
Presentation
What if, suddenly, the discourses around heritage democratization turn into a heritage dictatorship’s rhetoric? What if the arguments regarding the need to democratize heritage begin to focus on the defence of heritage vandalizing? Are we, at the beginning of 21st century, looking at heritage in a completely different way?
