Abstract
New communication technologies, within a context of globalization, lead us to consider cultural heritage from new perspectives and to deepen the complexity of the problem. These dimensions should not be understood merely as a process of technologization but rather from economic, political, social, educational, and communicational perspectives, in which longstanding issues related to heritage are now viewed from a new angle.
On the one hand, there are problems such as the trafficking and trade of archaeological objects, reports made by e-mail, and commercialization through the Internet. On the other hand, there are also possibilities for displaying heritage through virtual museums, transforming its dissemination and its spaces of interaction with the public, and generating cultural changes.
These changes must be taken into account in order to appropriate media in ways that improve communication, allowing researchers, heritage, and cultural knowledge to reach a broad, mass, and heterogeneous public, as is made possible by the wide reach of this medium.
Without falling into the dichotomy of considering media as either good or bad, and with the awareness that everything depends on the intention behind their use, this paper points out several issues related to the use of media with respect to cultural heritage.
