For this purpose, it focuses on an important fact: the progressive process that tends to consider man itself as heritage. This tendency is becoming more and more visible, and has deep effects on the protection since it means the introduction of an important change in the characterization of heritage. This fact changes the role and the relation between man and heritage: from being the patrimonial subject or the final repository of the public politics of protection, man itself is becoming to be the main object of the protection, the artefact or heritage intended to be protected.  a1988-7213
