Intercultural heritage interpretation

Main Article Content

Manuel Gándara Vázquez

Abstract

There is a current discussion about the need for the concept of heritage to include those cultural manifestations that are recognized not only by national or international authorities, but by the local communities themselves. If heritage interpretation is a way of translating the specialist’s language to the language of the general public, a question arises: what happens when the values involved are already recognized and understood by the local communities? Is heritage interpretation then redundant or superfluous? In the text I claim that heritage interpretation continues to be indispensable, if these communities intend to share their heritage with the other publics, particularly when that heritage will receive international visitors.
