Comentario al Artículo de Giancarlo Marcone “Superando las Dicotomías: el Qhapaq Ñan como Ejemplo del Patrimonio como Proceso Social”

Qhapaq Ñan, the Andean Road System, exemplifies how heritage can be understood as a dynamic social process rather than a static entity. This perspective challenges traditional dichotomies that separate nature from culture or past from present, highlighting its significance as a living heritage site. The study draws on the work of Giancarlo Marcone to argue for an inclusive approach to heritage conservation, one that integrates diverse voices and narratives. By analyzing Qhapaq Ñan through this lens, the research underscores its role in fostering social cohesion and continuity across generations. This commentary contributes to broader discussions on how UNESCO World Heritage Sites can be managed and preserved in a way that reflects their multifaceted cultural and ecological value.
