Conocer el valor social del bien cultural. Métodos y técnicas antropológicas para la investigación aplicada a la restauración en el caso de una práctica de campo en el ejido de San Juan de los Cedros, Zacatecas

Abstract

This document presents the application of qualitative research techniques to know factors of the social structure of the ejido of San Juan de los Cedros in the municipality of Mazapil, Zacatecas, mining population with economic, social, cultural and gender backwardness where in November of 2016 an 18th century easel painting conservation fieldwork was carried out by the Escuela de Conservación y Restauración de Occidente (ECRO). This experience allowed us to implement a research guide adapted to the characteristics of the community to correlate social factors with the social value that the inhabitants grant to the cultural heritage that were being restored. It also invites us to question whether the presence of individuals from outside of the community can contribute to spark off reflections in it not only on the relevance of its heritage and its conservation, but also on ways of life and interrelation with others.
