(Re) pensando los lugares-patrimonio a partir de un caso en la llanura pampeana argentina

Both places and heritage are social constructions induced by different actors. Sundblad, in argentine pampean plain, is not exempt from these mechanisms. Currently, processes that value stories and identities are highlighted, based on certain places. In this context, the questions of research are presented in two areas: a conceptual one, which leads us to ask: What do the concepts of place and heritage imply? Can we talk about heritage-places?; and another empirical one, interrogating us: What are the heritage-places defined by residents? What social uses can be identified? What is your situation today? What tensions are reflected around them? The purpose of the research is (re) think of heritage-places from the Sundblad case, from the eyes of current and former residents of the rural village. This work is presented with a mixed research approach, in which questionnaires and interviews are applied, a participant obser­vation is given and analysis of specific literature. As a result, a classification of the places-heritage is obtained according to the vision of the inhabitants and based on social uses. Among the main conclusions, a not-so-encouraging horizon is drawn around these processes, reflecting the characteristics of the crisis in the countryside and small towns. The proposed methodology aims to set up a scheme that can be applied to other latitudes with similar characteristics, in order to investigate those places that become heritage based on the perspective of the community.
