Description

The concept of heritage is historically linked to a specific context and is neither a universal nor a neutral category. To apply it today to the broadest possible range of phenomena, it is essential to remember and interpret both the establishment of the idea of ​​heritage and the most significant stages of its institutional and intellectual development. The ultimate paradox of a constructive approach to analyzing heritage can be expressed in a simple statement: heritage is never inherited; rather, it must be built.
