Abstract
This article looks into the role and significance of photography in heritage field. Its purpose is to discuss activation process, management and resignification of heritage through photographic technic and image, in a local context. We analyze these themes through two cases of study, Exaltación de la Cruz and San Andrés de Giles districts (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). We argue that the photographic technique and image becomes an unquestionable heritage device that, as well as they allow legitimizing practices and discourses about heritage; they also favored the construction of resistances and negotiations between different actors that participate in heritage processes.
