Qhapaq Ñan: dilemas e ilusiones de una política del patrimonio

Despite being touted as a successful model of interculturality, the Qhapaq Ñan Project in Peru falls short in fulfilling its promises of development, access to rights, and community dialogue. A critical analysis reveals persistent conceptual and methodological gaps, which not only instrumentalize target audiences but also perpetuate modern biases against Indigenous differences. The study examines three case studies—'Semana Qhapaq Ñan,' the emergence of community participation ideas, and the emblematic tinkuy of Aypate—to expose these shortcomings. This research underscores the need for a more inclusive approach to heritage policies that genuinely respects and incorporates Indigenous perspectives.
