Résumé (en anglais)

Preserving the spirit of place is often an ambiguous endeavor, since determining precisely what is significant, what is not and what lies in between can be challenging. In many places, the significance of features, history and traditions has been modified by a variety of agents, such as artists, tour operators or public authorities, at times with good results, other times altering authenticity. This paper analyzes different cases in Bolivia, Spain and Cuba, with the objective of showing how the spirit of place has been preserved, changed or even positively transformed, bringing about a new identity. It examines the contradictions between preserving intangible and tangible heritage; the misinterpretation of heritage due to the banalization of culture; and it looks at worthy examples of heritage that are well preserved, still in use, and in some cases, in a permanent state of revitalization.
