Résumé (en anglais)

Historical preservation is a discipline that requires a unique interpretation of space and the physical landscape. However, federal and state laws have increasingly dictated historical preservation, which has had the effect of constraining the discourse surrounding historic sites and their interpretation. Regulations require that historic sites be assigned a “period of significance;” a slice of time in which the site is considered to be important and which the public is made to experience it. This practice excludes the larger and continuous histories of sites and the way they have been experienced by all overtime. Borrowing upon Michel Foucault’s idea of heterotopias, this paper will assess the current understanding of historic mining sites at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and suggest new ways to study, interpret, and experience them.
