This article aims to understand the process of redefinition and destabilization of the heritage field in Chile today from the theoretical analysis of contexts that express the emergence of new ways of relating symbolically and materially with the city and its heritage. From a theoretical perspective of the field of heritage studies, these contexts are examined, maintaining that, although the transformation of the canonical conception of heritage is inserted in a historical horizon that complicates the development of identity, it expresses a broader problem: responding to a political framework of crisis of the socioeconomic model where the historical heritage and national monuments become the object of expression of social discontent. The application of the analysis focuses on three effective contexts that show the ways in which this transformation is declared: disaffected heritage, destroyed heritage and updated heritage.
