Résumé (en anglais)

The requisite of each discipline is the definition of the subject of its interests. Moreover, this definition should be constantly updated. The subject of heritage preservation and conservation is heritage. What is our modern understanding of heritage? Heritage is not presently defined objectively. The notion of heritage is extremely wide; it may include almost all elements of culture and nature. A single object and a town, a wooden cottage and a palace complex, a pyramid built thousands years ago and a 30-year-old building- are all treated as the elements of cultural heritage. The elements of Japanese heritage are the actors of the traditional Kabuki theatre, in Australia, Ayers Rock, which aborigines believe to be a holy mountain, is preserved, in Africa, heritage includes tribe customs. Heritage may mean names of streets, systems of fields, recipes for alcohol production. Such a variety cannot be defined as a whole and explicitly. A closed definition of heritage is not possible. What is the reason of this variety and hence problems with its description which conservation is faced with?
