Résumé en anglais
Preserving the spirit of place is often an ambiguousendeavor, 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 orpublic 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 beenpreserved, changed or even positively transformed, bringing
about a new identity. It examines the contradictions betweenpreserving intangible and tangible heritage; the misinterpretation
of heritage due to the banalization of culture; and it looks atworthy examples of heritage that are well preserved, still in use,
and in some cases, in a permanent state of revitalization.
