| Title | Heritage: Chain, Hierarchies And Conflicts An Ethnography Of The Tierradentro Archaeological Park And Nasa Indigenous Territory, Colombia |
| Summary | The World Heritage Chain is the series of relations and events that are created through the communication between UNESCO's international heritage framework, its interpretation and legislation at the State level, and the implementation and management of its activities at the local level. This three-tiered chain and its actors are to be discussed through its ethnography at the Tierradentro World Heritage and Archaeological Park in Colombia. The Tierradentro Archaeological Park in Colombia is located within the Nasa indigenous reservation administered by its local governance at San Andrés de Pisimbalá. The pre-Columbian tombs and statues were declared World Heritage in 1995 and since then they form part of the UNESCO pantheon of shared World Heritage. However, this heritage structure has been a contributing factor to the intercultural conflict present at the site since 2006. The conflict escalated when the Colombian heritage management body, the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History, did not consult the Nasa on the Management Plan document of the Park. This study maps these actors and follows their discourses to link the main sites and points of dispute at an indigenous territory and multicultural region turned World Heritage site. |
