Abstract

Previously considering the handicaps to be analyzed in the present concept of Historic Heritage, this article aims to identify the keys that are determining the future tendencies in its characterization and the results that these may have for its future. Focusing on this purpose it explores an important fact: the progressive process that tends to consider man itself as heritage. This tendency is becoming more and more visible, and has deep effects on its protection since it means the introduction of an important change in the characterization of heritage. This fact changes the role and the relation between man and heritage: from being the patrimonial subject or the final objective of heritage’s protection, man itself is becoming the main object of tutelage, the artefact or heritage intended to be protected.
