“TO MADONNA...I BUILD A MONUMENT”. MULTIPLE AND DIVERSE USES OF HISTORY IN MEXICO CITY.Heritage, related to its use or appropriation by people, comes again to the scene as a no delay problem related to the deep transformations taking place at present in big cities. It is al old issue eventhough renewed for a new context. The expansion of the meaning of concepts as heritage, historical center and history have had influence on the ways things were focused up to now, permitting a switch from the traditional stages of exhibit and enlarging what could be legitimated as heritage. A new dimension of heritage is being introduced from the local stances, eventhough in correspondence with the way in which social actors appropriate of the universal/global categories. So, the production process of heritage is not any more only a question related to the State, instead it has turned into a strategic and very instrumental question for the neighbors of several parts of the city. In the case of Mexico City these issues have begun to grow in relevance. That’s why this paper intends to analyze these new conceptions, uses and appropriation of heritage and history, comparing the historical center of Tlalpan and the modern Polanco Colony in Mexico City.

ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE. A FALLEN MONUMENTS’ STUDY.The essay presents some results of an anthropological field research concerning war memorials, developed in the city of Naples in the last five years. The author first introduces the main historical and theoretic aspects regarding these monuments; she then analyses their present social uses in order to find out their symbolic meaning and value for social subjects. As the author points up, the observation of commemorative ceremonies in honour of the fallen shows that the dialectic between functions and uses of these monuments is in reference to the field of power relationships.

Cuando comencé mi vida académica y tuve que vencer el miedo a hablar frente a los alumnos, fui a buscar a mi profesor de antropología para pedirle orientación sobre cómo planear una clase. “No tenga miedo de decir lo obvio —me dijo él— comience con lo que usted cree que todo el mundo ya sabe, así se pueden aclarar muchas cosas”. Siguiendo este consejo comenzaré por lo obvio. Como el tema que nos convoca es cultura y patrimonio cultural, el punto de partida puede ser la noción misma de cultura, tal como se presenta en el sentido común. Siendo el CONDEPHAAT un órgano que pretende formular una política cultural, el conocimiento del sentido común constituye un elemento importante para una actuación que se proponga llegar a un público lo más amplio posible, pues es reconociendo el sentido común como podremos establecer una comunicación con la población.
