Description
Summary:Fifteen years after the proclamation of their oral manifestations as “Masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity” the Zapara people continues to make its culture recognized as a heritage, in two other ways: from the university, where a new Zápara generation is acting, as well as from governmental administration, which tries with some difficulty to insert heritage in participatory processes. We will present an ethnography of each of these ways to make Zápara culture a heritage. This process relies on diverging, personal, collective, institutional interests,which all converge on the need of a safeguarding plan of the culture, constantly reinvented by the Zápara. We will also consider the role and place of the researcher when involved in collaborations with the communities, and on the ethical and political implications of these collaborations, in particular in conflict situations.
