Résumé:
Nowadays, the process of “heritageisation” has become an increasingly emerging phenomenon. Among the conventions on cultural heritage of the Council of Europe, the Faro Convention highlights the close connection between heritage and community. A common and important feature of heritage assets is that they originally served community needs. The history concerning the alienation and subsequent reintegration by contemporary communities of assets “that had become heritage” is closely related to the historical and social processes. Heritage assets appear as attributes that are also manifested by the resilience shown by the communities. By further analysing these, one may better understand the reconstruction efforts, the phenomenon of the intended re-creation of heritage. The question is to what extent is this a possible expression of community resilience, a particular form of defence against a globalising environment.
