VERGARA-HERRERA, Alejandra Mariel. Caring Practices in Cultural Landscapes of Hecelchakán, Campeche. Península [online]. 2023, vol.18, n.1, pp.61-95.  Epub Apr 23, 2024. ISSN 1870-5766.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cephcis.25942743e.2023.18.1.84257.

This investigation analyzes patrimony caring practices through the methodology of the narrative circles in the city of Hecelchakán and the town of Pomuch, in Campeche, Mexico. Radiographs of the cultural landscapes that appear as an implement to visualize the social dynamics, linked up to the preservation of common possessions, were created with this purpose. Likewise, it was possible to recover the "culture of care", and the importance of the social agents as cultural carriers who finally transmit the elements, motivations and needs of caring these common possessions as an essential part of cultural landscapes.

Keywords : cultural landscape; conservation of cultural possessions; community participation; social environment.
