Abstract

One of the most important tasks of anthropology is to destabilize. Many concepts ascertained in our culture change and become less stable after passing through very different ethnographic contexts. The article shows how anthropologists, who are called upon to investigate the cultural heritage thought as such by specific institutions, can continue to destabilize the conceptual universes. In this context, it is important to take a critical look, reflect on the different conceptualizations of "heritage" and ultimately reflect on the destabilizing force of some applications for the international recognition of new "World Heritage".
