Fragmentos textiles y sistemas territoriales del carbón Experiencias de re-significación del patrimonio industrial en Tomé y Lota, Chile

For more than a decade significant processes of social use of heritage are developed in the Biobío Region, being carried out by citizen groups that move towards the defen se of the coal and textile industrial heritage in a context of cities impacted by strong deindustrialization processes. Through press review, secondary sources and interview development, patrimonial appropriation processes developed in Lota and Tomé are re constituted describing and analyzing their meanings and proposals. The results suggest the existence of two experiences of a re-granted significance to the industrial heritage, that broaden the framework of the established, proposing innovative approaches, given both by the rescue of specific fragments loaded with a great affective sense - as in Tomé - and by the authorization of a broader notion of the articulated territory based on res cuing a set of sites that make up a heritage system, as happens in Lota. It is concluded that participatory management proposals challenge the hegemonic visions installing the question about whether it is possible to establish a governance of their assets from the territory in the context of a development model strongly centralist and articulated to heritage commodification
