Cultura e memória no contexto pós-moderno

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on how the interactions between memory, culture and heritage start to take shape after postmodernism, and aims to point out the positioning of the instruments of preservation of culture in this context. This is a exploratory bibliographic study, whose theoretical objects are the concepts of culture, memory and heritage from post-modernity, and their dilemmas. It is understood that the strong interaction between cultures has favored transculture, which can be understood as a phenomenon that develops with cultural exchanges and impositions and assumes the role of local cultures or leads them to de-characterization. It is concluded that despite the patrimonialization be an alternative for the preservation of the culture, this is a selection, so that it tends to exclude the great part of the cultural objects and manifestations, since not everything can be covered by instruments of preservation.
