Descripción
Sumario:This article analyzes, by means of a comparison, the processes of heritage construction, their museographic elements, their musealization and the monumental endowment of six representative battlefields of the wars of Independence from the early 19th century, in the southern region of Latin America: Swamp of Vargas and Boyacá (1819) in Colombia; Carabobo (1821) in Venezuela; Pichincha (1822) in Ecuador; Junín and Ayacucho (1824) in Perú. Although monuments begin to appear in the 19th century, it is around the centennial and sesquicentennial celebrations of Independence, celebrated in the 20th century, that the greatest changes take place and monuments appear on these battlefields, in order to fulfill the pedagogical function assigned by the Homeland History. Even though battlefields are part of each country’s national history of Independence, the routes towards their construction and musealization have similarities, which this article traces in order to draw attention to their administration and management as Museums Site and their future, having in mind the recent and upcoming bicentennial.
