Presentación y objetivos
The International Workshop “Cultural Heritage in the Shadows: A Resource and a Tool for Local Development” aims to rethink the concept of cultural heritage from a critical, inclusive, and interdisciplinary perspective. The event seeks to highlight those heritage manifestations that, despite their symbolic, territorial, or social relevance, have remained outside of institutional or academic recognition. Through presentations by international experts, papers, and collective debates, issues related to a broader conception of heritage will be addressed, including its typologies and characteristics, innovative methodologies for its study and valorization, the review of public policies and regulatory frameworks, its potential as a resource for territorial development, as well as the fundamental role of citizen participation in its identification and conservation.
