La fotografía en los procesos de activación, resignificación y gestión patrimonial: Los casos de Exaltación de la Cruz y San Andrés de Giles, municipios de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina

This article looks into the role and significance of photography in heritage field. Its purpose is to discuss activation process, management and resignification of heritage through photographic technic and image, in a local context. We analyze these themes through two cases of study, Exaltacion de la Cruz and San Andres de Giles districts (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). We argue that the photographic technique and image becomes an unquestionable heritage device that, as well as they allow legitimizing practices and discourses about heritage; they also favored the construction of resistances and negotiations between different actors that participate in heritage processes.
