<<< SUMMARY TST 44
[ Abstract ]
This article is the result of an investigation under development
and part of the assumption pointed out by Coulls (1999) that the
broad railway universe, has particular characteristics that
differ from the “common” cultural heritage and therefore must
have specific criteria. Authenticity, integrity and cultural
significance are notions that guide the conservation of cultural
assets worldwide, despite their difficult understanding and
operationalization. Thus, it seeks to propose, through a
contemporary interpretation of heritage, an inseparable reading
of these three notions, based on the premise of Lira (2020) that
are directly related to the attributes of the cultural good. It
is assumed that attributes are the essence of the attribution of
values that give meaning to cultural goods. In order to assist
the understanding of railway attributes, the article has a
theoretical-methodological focus and through a reflection of the
literature, proposes specific aspects that will cooperate in the
identification of railway attributes and, thus, contribute with
a tool that helps in reading the particular characteristics of
the railways and consequently in the patrimonialization of these
cultural goods.
