Summary
A critical reflection on the current management of San Agustín Archaeological Park reveals a shift from its original purpose to one marked by discontent, particularly concerning community engagement and political dynamics. The study examines the 2013 declaration of the Year of Augustinian Culture and the controversy surrounding the exhibition 'The Return of the Idols,' highlighting how the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History (ICANH) has approached conservation and community relations. It frames this analysis through Jacques Rancière's concept of politics as a space for dissent, contrasting it with state/police power structures. The research underscores tensions between heritage preservation efforts and the needs or perspectives of local communities in San Agustín and Isnos.
