Patrimônio Cultural Brasileiro na era digital: da digitalização de acervos à preservação participativa na internet.

Abstract

Today, the internet and digital technologies are the main means of communication. The forms of interaction made possible by these are not limited to technical or everyday use. We observe the increasing use of these in processes of preservation of cultural heritage, which take different forms, not only influenced by the technological limits, but also by the wills of the people who make use of these technologies. We call cultural heritage in the digital age the interactions with cultural heritage in the context of new information technologies, be they technical or personal. It is necessary to name this period because it is different from previous ones, where the digital technologies were not constituting the main means of daily communication. In this research we developed a study on the uses of digital technologies for heritage preservation purposes in the Brazilian context. We aim to observe the inclusion of digital practices in national patrimonial preservation processes, be they state, institutional and community. We do this study divided into three periods, those governed by studies of the area of cultural heritage in the digital age and observing these traditional instances of patrimonial preservation interpellate and can not be completely separated by periods, be these temporal or interpretative. The first two periods, Digital Cultural Heritage 1.0 (off-line) and 2.0 (online), depart from the literature of the area and are observed in the national context. We propose a third period, Digital Cultural Heritage 3.0, related to these participatory preservation efforts on the internet, happen from or independently of traditional preservation institutions. We also propose a classification in three types of cultural heritage appropriation that take place today on the Internet: positive intentional appropriation, negative intentional appropriation, and unintentional appropriation.
