Who cares about heritage?

Reconstruction, resettlement, and the re-invention

of the past in the heart of Manila

Taking as a point of departure the attempts of reconstructing and gentrifying the old part of Manila  (Intramuros),  the  presentation  will  discuss  the  politics  of  heritage  in  post-war Philippines. An analysis of heritage revitalization projects and lack thereof will be presented, thus revealing the visions for Intramuros which are present in today’s Manila, and how they have  been  shaped  historically.  Taken  into  account  will  be  the  points  of  view  of  different groups  functioning  together  in  Intramuros  –  informal  settlers,  business  owners,  students, government employees, activists and heritage experts – and their understandings of heritage, space, and the city. This will lead to the discussion of the wider questions of the relation to the past, history, and memory in the Philippines.
