Gestión y tutela del patrimonio ferroviario en Cubaorigen, desarrollo y evolución. Estudio comparativo de las políticas de conservación y difusión

Resumo

This research is an urgent contribution to the preservation of the Cuban railway, which is on the brink of being lost forever. It systematically examines the historiography of the railway and compares the Spanish and British management and dissemination policies of industrial heritage, specifically for railways. The aim is to provide a comprehensive exercise in favor of preserving this heritage, and to establish a broader perspective on its corpus while studying significant examples within the three countries analyzed. The academic study goes beyond the constructed and objective standard that has been followed until now and extends to the cultural landscape and intangible values. The research asserts the identity nature of this heritage at the national level and in each community where these goods and traditions are located, and how they interact, shaping a part of its identity.
