HABER, Alejandro  and  VERGARA, Marcia. Threads of the heritage plot in Pomán: relationality and territory. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2024, vol.17, n.1, pp.37-50.  Epub Apr 30, 2024. ISSN 1852-060X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31048/1852.4826.v17.n1.43216.

In an oblique reading of a singular case in northwestern Andean Argentina, the place of local relationships with archaeological heritage is explored vis-a-vis non local agents: science, state, capital. While the antagonisms of territorial interests can be predicted to grow alongside the evolution of the entangled relations within the territory, the situation analyzed shows a different picture. The heritagization is starred by local inhabitants consciously independent from non local discourses and powers, albeit adopting actions that are locally seen as “officially” correct. Delving one step deeper, this research asks not just for the particular contents of local knowledge (if local or non local) but for the local ideas about what knowledge is. Within this local theoretical framework, the relationships with the ruins developed along the heritagization process described so far can be seen within a territorialized bodily, concrete and intersubjective regime of care, a local theory of relatedness.

Keywords : Heritagization; Relationality; Territory; Local archaeology; Situated gnoseology.
