| Abstract | |
This research analyzes the conflict of values and meanings in the recognition of cultural heritage preservation practices in Lençóis, Bahia. This was the first urban center pre- served at the request of its own inhabitants by Brazil\'s National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute. This research examines the local community\'s conflicting intentions and the various steps taken by authorities since the beginning of the preservation process in 1971. Since then, residents have continued to content with a series of government interventions including those of the Historic Cities Program, the creation of the Chapada Diamantina National Park by the Brazilian Forest Development Institute, the Tourism Development Program of Bahia and the Northeast, and the Monuments Program. Through interviews and documentary research, it is evident that there are many disagreements between local citizens and experts about the mea- nings of preservation, as well as internal differences among heritage organizations and conser- vation programs. In determining certain goods and values which necessarily disregard others, and taken together with cyclical factors, cultural heritage has been reinterpreted in Lençóis. These, in addition to the lack of participation in decisions about what to preserve and how to do it, caused clashes that have revealed forms of cultural resistance. This research concludes that understanding all the nuances of local culture and needs is critical to the effective mana- gement and characterization of heritage sites, and that this process should be more inclusive and participatory in the life of a city.
