The two opposing impacts of heritage making on local communities
Publication . Silva, Luís; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH); Taylor & Francis
This article examines the impact associated with the making of heritage and tourism at a destination. Special attention is paid to the residents perceptions of the impact. The examination is focused on the rural village of Sortelha, in Portugal, where, in recent decades, a state-led programme was implemented in order to renovate the historic buildings and built fabric and to generate benefits for the local community. Based on ethnographic materials collected in 2003, 2009 and 2013, the study demonstrates that the making of heritage may give rise to two opposing impacts simultaneously -increased social cohesion and place pride, on the one hand, and envy and competition (and, hence, social atomisation), on the other hand- and that residents are entirely cognisant of the tension between the two. The study has the potential to contribute to both the theoretical and the applied literature on heritage making.
Heritage building in the ‘Historic Villages of Portugal'
Publication . Silva, Luís Miguel de Sousa; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH); Sciendo
‘Historic Villages of Portugal’ is the label of a tourist network created by a local development programme applied in twelve villages located in the centro region of Portugal. This article* focuses on the social processes, practices, and agents involved in heritage building within the framework of this programme. The main argument is that heritage building entails processes of protection, appropriation, and manipulation of cultural expressions for tourist consumption, following international trends on heritage and development. These processes implicate tensions, conflicts, negotiations and cooperation among those who intervene, above all political authorities, specialists in historic conservation (principally architects) the tourism sector, and local populations. Historic conservationists have a ‘monumental’ vision of heritage, which does not correspond to the ‘social’ vision of the majority of the residents in the protected spaces.
Built heritage-making and socioeconomic renewal in declining rural areas
Publication . Silva, Luís Miguel de Sousa; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH); Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA)
This article focuses on the connections between built heritage making and socio-economic renewal in declining rural areas. Drawing on fieldwork in twelve rural villages in eastern Portugal, it sheds light on the outcomes of a State-led programme, the objectives of which were to renovate the historic built fabric and generate tourism revenue for a region with declining population levels. Overall, the programme was successful in terms of preservation / conservation of monuments and the built fabric, but failed to stimulate the anticipated social and economic development. The conclusion is that the making of heritage spaces is not the remedy for the economic and demographic ills of rural areas, notwithstanding the positive effect that such measures may have in certain cases.

Património, Ruralidade e Turismo
Publication . Silva, Luís Miguel de Sousa; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH)
Este livro propõe-se discutir a problemática da ruralidade na sociedade portuguesa, mediante a compilação e análise de cinco estudos de caso desenvolvidos pelo autor em Portugal continental e insular na última década. Os estudos de caso etnográficos apresentados nas duas primeiras partes do livro (I – Teorias de património e impactos locais; II – Ecoturismo e governamentalidade nos Açores) descrevem e examinam o modo como a proteção e a comercialização, via turismo, de recursos culturais e naturais afetam as populações locais, privilegiando o ponto de vista dos residentes. O estudo de caso constante da terceira parte (III – A persistência do pastoralismo em Portugal) estabelece um paralelo entre a literatura de ficção do século XIX e as práticas de turismo rural do início do século XXI.
