这篇文章讨论了遗产的两个方面--纠缠和转变--这在墨西哥尤卡坦半岛最近的一个文化遗产项目中变得清晰起来。关于纠缠,遗产只有在与政治、生计和个人传记等其他关切相结合时才具有相关性。在项目过程中,一系列不可预测的纠缠出现了,这些纠缠将当地遗产的影响力和知名度提升到了一个意想不到的程度。转型是指遗产不会被冻结在过去的主张。相反,它是在运动中,并受到变化。本文中讨论的遗产的转换进行了检查,从移动性范式的角度来看,并理解,在一定程度上,作为第一次为外人执行遗产的经验。在迄今为止的遗产项目沉淀身份的变化,本文探讨了什么是玛雅人的身份,并认为这是一个流动的结构,既可以锚定在过去和谈判在现在。这种观点解释了一个事件,即当代人将自己的身份锚定在一个壮观的1000年历史的废墟上,但福尔斯无法解释对较小废墟的不平衡认识。
This article discusses two aspects of heritage – entanglement and transformation – that became clear during a recent cultural heritage project in Yucatan, Mexico. Regarding entanglement, heritage becomes relevant only when coupled with other concerns, ranging from politics to livelihood to personal biographies. An unpredictable array of entanglements came into being during the project and these entanglements elevated the impact and visibility of local heritage to an unanticipated degree. Transformation refers to the claim that heritage is not frozen in the past. Instead, it is in motion and subject to change. The transformations of heritage discussed in this paper are examined from the perspective of a mobilities paradigm and understood, in part, as resulting from the experience of performing heritage for outsiders for the first time. In so far as the heritage project precipitated changes in identity, this paper explores what is meant by Maya identity and argues that it is a fluid construct that can be both anchored in the past and negotiated in the present. This perspective makes sense of an event in which contemporary people anchored their identity in a spectacular 1000-year-old ruin, but falls short of explaining the uneven recognition of smaller ruins.
