Reihe: The Latin American Studies Book Series

Heritage in Eight Acts brings together contributions on cultural heritage at an international level with an emphasis on Latin American and Ibero-American studies, addressing points of convergence between the local and the global in an accessible and direct way. It discusses themes that have gained importance on the heritage preservation agenda, signaling how Latin America and Europe have expanded their connections and actions in favor of the multiplicity of heritage. Eight scholars from diverse backgrounds bring critical and nuanced understandings of heritage to the context of international relations. From architecture to history and from archeology to art history, each contribution displays methodological creativity and analytical depth. The result is a synthesis with the impact of showing how points of connection can bring Latin America closer to Europe, but not from a relationship of subalternity, but of shared protagonism.
