Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: Heritage landscapes, cultural in the Unesco nomenclature, are an emerging theoretical field on cultural properties. However, despite its remarkable recognition, this concept is heavily concerned by the contradictions that, both in the heritage field and in landscapes, characterize the current scientific debate. The Unesco, the most recognized international institution on cultural properties, above all by the World Heritage List, reflects these conceptual and methodological paradoxes that also interfere in any circumstances wich have arisen since the adoption the World Heritage Convention in 1792. This article, in addition to analyze the presented framework, proposes lines to improve understanding, and consequently the protection, of cultural landscapes included in the above-mentioned list.
