【 摘 要 】

During the last three decades, Latin American anthropologists have introduced critical perspectives on urban heritage processes based on urban spectacular models. The authorized discourse of heritage accentuates the architectural, historical, cultural and economic values of historical centers. However, the observation of these spaces in daily life reveals the multiple counter uses and appropriations through which social actors destabilize monumentality. Over four decades after Quito was inscribed as the first Latin American capital in the world heritage cities list of UNESCO of 1978, the article proposes an open reflection on the limits of the urban spectacular model, based on the ethnographical observation of Quito´s historical center during the social outbreak that took place in Ecuador in October 2019 and the 2020 pandemic.
