    Gestión. Estudios La protección del Patrimonio Mundial en España The World Cultural Heritage protection in Spain Víctor Fernández Salinas Profesor de Geografía de la Universidad de Sevilla y Vicesecretario del Comité Nacional Español de ICOMOS Resumen La pertenencia a la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial se ha asumido en España frecuentemente como un reto para convertir poblaciones y territorios en destinos atractivos dentro del campo emergente del turismo cultural; en cambio, la filosofía de la Lista, que otorga más responsabilidades que privilegios, es relegada a un segundo plano. Los compromisos aceptados en el momento de la inclusión, entre ellos los planes de gestión, son a menudo olvidados o sometidos en todo caso a proyectos urbanos poco sensibles con el patrimonio y veleidosos respecto a una pretendida modernización urbana o a la simple especulación inmobiliaria. Palabras clave: Patrimonio Mundial. Gestión del Patrimonio. Lista del Patrimonio Mundial. Paisaje Urbano. Abstract The inclusion in the World Heritage List has been frequently assumed in Spain as a challenge to turn localities and territories into attractive destinies inside the emergent field of cultural tourism; however, the spirit of the List, that grants more responsibilities than privileges, is relegated to a background. The commitments accepted at the moment of the inclusion, among them the creation of appropriate management plans, are often forgotten or put under urban projects little respectful with heritage or even harmful to it, since their main aims are usually a pretended urban modernization or the simple real estate speculation. Keywords: World Heritage. Heritage Management. World Heritage List. Urban Landscape. e-rph junio 2008 | revista semestral Víctor Fernández Salinas Profesor titular de Geografía Humana en la Universidad de Sevilla, institución en la que trabaja desde 1984, sus principales líneas de investigación se centran en la ciudad como objeto de estudio y el patrimonio –especialmente en la dimensión de las políticas culturales ligadas al territorio y al desarrollo.

  • La Percepción Ciudadana De La Marca Patrimonio Mundial En Barcelona
    LA PERCEPCIÓN CIUDADANA DE LA MARCA PATRIMONIO MUNDIAL EN BARCELONA. Public perception of the World Heritage brand in Barcelona Marc Compte-Pujol (1) (1) Universidad Ramón Llull, Barcelona (España), [email protected] RESUMEN El sello Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO es seguramente el instrumento de conservación más reconocido y efectivo del mundo. Debido a su gran potencial comunicativo, cada vez es más común su concepción y gestión como marca comercial. Sin embargo, los estudios de percepción de la marca Patrimonio Mundial por parte de la sociedad son muy escasos y eso a pesar de la teórica importancia que para los gestores del patrimonio tiene la implicación y participación de las comunidades. Con el presente estudio, queremos contribuir a llenar progresivamente este vacío investigador mediante el análisis de la conciencia de marca y de las primeras asociaciones vinculadas al recuerdo de la marca que produce el Patrimonio Mundial en la mente de los ciudadanos. Para llevarlo a cabo, hemos realizado 40 entrevistas a residentes en la provincia de Barcelona (España), al contar ésta con varios elementos inscritos en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial. Del análisis de los resultados hemos obtenido algunas ideas clave sobre lo que realmente piensa y siente la opinión pública barcelonesa cuando le hablamos de Patrimonio Mundial. Unos inputs que, creemos, pueden ayudar a mejorar la gestión comunicacional de los bienes Patrimonio Mundial no sólo en la provincia catalana, sino también en muchos otros lugares poseedores de bienes declarados por la UNESCO. Palabras clave: Asociaciones de marca; Conciencia de marca; Gestión de marca; Marca Patrimonio Mundial; Percepción; Valor de marca.

  • 10 Tesoros Del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial De España Son , Por Orden Alfabético, Las Siguientes
    LAS 45 CANDIDATURAS QUE ASPIRAN A CONVERTIRSE EN UNO DE LOS 10 TESOROS DEL PATRIMONIO CULTURAL INMATERIAL DE ESPAÑA SON , POR ORDEN ALFABÉTICO, LAS SIGUIENTES : 1 - Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla El Ayuntamiento de la ciudad de Sevilla ha mostrado su voluntad de participar en la campaña de elección de los 10 tesoros del patrimonio inmaterial de España al presentar como candidatura la celebración de la Bienal de Flamenco. La Bienal del Flamenco, a lo largo de 30 años de historia, ha demostrado ser el referente del flamenco en el mundo convirtiéndose en uno acontecimiento más atractivos culturalmente. El flamenco como patrimonio es un bien de interés cultural, un género artístico, una expresión cultural completa, un compendio de producción músico-oral, un ritual, y en definitiva, un modo de vida que transciende al propio arte. Por lo tanto, la Bienal de Flamenco es un fenómeno cultural que divulga, promueve, difunde y salvaguarda este rico patrimonio cultural inmaterial andaluz, español y europeo. 2 - Camino de Santiago El Camino de Santiago ha significado en la historia europea el primer elemento vertebrador del viejo continente. El hallazgo del sepulcro del primer apóstol mártir, Santiago el Mayor, supuso encontrar un punto de referencia indiscutible en el que podía converger la pluralidad de concepciones de distintos pueblos ya cristianizados, pero necesitados en aquel entonces de unidad. La creencia cada vez más extendida en los milagros de Santiago provocó que la gente comenzara a peregrinar hacia Santiago de Compostela para obtener su gracia. El primer peregrino conocido fue Gotescalco, obispo de Puy, el año 950, en unión de una importante comitiva.

Murphy Since 1975, the Spanish autonomous region ofCatalonia has been renegotiating its political and cultural place within Spain. The designation and promotion ofplaces within Catalonia as World Heritage Sites-a matter over which regional authorities have competency-provides insights into the national and territorial ideas that have emerged in recent decades. This study ofthe selection and portrayal ofWorld Heritage sites by Turisme de Cata1unya shows that the sites reflect a view ofthe region as 1) home to a distinct cultural group, 2) a place with an ancient past, and 3) a place with a history of territorial autonomy. These characteristics suggest that even though many Catalan regionalists seek a novel territorial status that is neither independent ofnor subservient to the Spanish state, the dominant territorial norms ofthe modem state system continue to be at the heart ofthe Catalan nation-building project.

Contact: [email protected] Ritualization of Ethno-nationalism: A Textual Analysis of a Hungarian Corpus Christi Procession Lisa Pope Fischer New York City College of Technology Abstract: Observing a Corpus Christi procession in post-socialist Hungary, this article uses a textual analysis to explore how the ritual mirrors post-socialist trends that affirm Hungarian identity. This article serves to both document an interesting ritual procession but also view it in light of growing ethno-nationalism that both unites a community yet also shows exclusion of others. It is like a mirror at a microcosmic level that reflects a kind of ritualization of ethno-nationalism. [Key words: Ritual Procession, Textual Analysis, Identity, Catholicism, Post-Socialist Hungary] Today is "Úrnapja" the day of the Corpus Christi procession, the Sunday two weeks after "Pünkösd" (Pentecost/Whitsuntide). On regular Sundays one might find a paltry group of elderly women in church attendance, today, however, the church overflows with young and old, neighbors and outsiders attracted to this beautiful celebration. After the mass in the church, they will all walk on the petal path to each of the four altars to honor the holy Eucharist, representing Christ’s last supper when he offered bread as his body, and wine as his blood.
