Dois modelos de intervenção patrimonial em Centros Históricos: cidade-arquivo e cidade-arquivo-vivo
| Summary: | The elaboration and implementation of public policies to intervene in historical centers arouses debates in several scientific areas, and the field of Heritage Studies plays a prominent role in this context of multidisciplinary discussion. Situated in this debate, the present article proposes a new pair of concepts to discuss critically the practices of patrimonial intervention in historical centers: the archive city model and the living-archive city model. The pair of notions is constructed from the theoretical contributions presented by the anthropologist Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett in her study on the meta-cultural character of the heritage and, at the same time, corroborates the understanding (with anthropological background) of the cultural heritage as an entity with tangible and intangible dimensions that are inseparable. At the end of the text, it is tried to demonstrate the applicability of the two patrimonial intervention models proposed from the consideration of a case study: the historical center of Salvador (Bahia), Brazil. |
