Latin American Heritage

Focusing on Brazil, this book approaches the term "heritage" from not only a historical and architectural point of view, but also considers its artistic, archaeological, natural, ethnological and industrial aspects.

The book is divided into four thematic sections - 1) traditions and intangible heritage, 2) archaeological heritage, 3) natural heritage and landscapes, and 4) heritage of industrial and built environments - and presents chapters on a diverse range of topics, from samba and cultural identities in Rio de Janeiro, to the history of Brazilian archaeology, the value of scenic landscapes in Brazil, and the cultural landscape of Brazil.
As an outcome of the First Heritage International Symposium, this unique book explores a variety of heritage dialogues, pursuing global and specific approaches, and combining different views, perceptions and senses.

Concentrandu-se pe Brazilia, aceasta carte abordeaza termenul de „mostenire” nu numai din punct de vedere istoric si arhitectural, ci are in vedere si aspectele sale artistice, arheologice, naturale, etnologice si industriale.Cartea este impartita in patru sectiuni tematice - 1) traditii si patrimoniul imaterial, 2) patrimoniul arheologic, 3) patrimoniul natural si peisajele, si 4) patrimoniul mediilor industriale si construite - si prezinta capitole despre o gama diversa de subiecte, de la samba si identitati culturale din Rio de Janeiro, pana la istoria Arheologia braziliana, valoarea peisajelor pitoresti din Brazilia si peisajul cultural al Braziliei. Ca rezultat al primului simpozion international patrimoniu, aceasta carte unica exploreaza o varietate de dialoguri despre patrimoniu, urmarind abordari globale si specifice si combinand diferite puncte de vedere, perceptii si simturi.
