Identidades e memórias em torno de uma mina

When the mining activity has been more and more frequently understood as something belonging to a certain time in the past, the conversion of mining patrimony (including the structures of production, the machinery, the architecture, the pits and the landscape modified by industrial activity) is the result of attributing new functions to previous elements which lost their productive interest and are now being converted on behalf of a cultural tourism -they become either objects or places of museums Along this process, the mine has been being appropriated by groups and agents out of its traditional activity of production (such as political organizations, cultural agents, scientists, tourists, etc.) and its identities and memories, associated with the mining work itself are becoming the aim of reconstructions and recreations
