Las sinécdoques del patrimonio vivo del centro histórico de Bogotá. Explorando la producción compartida de la escala

This article presents, discusses, and expands the outcome of the cultural immaterial heritage component in the Special Plan for the Management and Protection of Bogota’s Historic City Center. To do that, the article turns to identify synecdoches as an exercise of abstraction of the manifold ways the heritage apparatus and social agency interact and articulate themselves. Particularly, the concept of scale is used to present and make sense of this approach. Also, an ethnographic approach is applied, turning to the study of farmers’ marketplaces, Bolívar square, and Monserrate hill so as to ground the discussion.
