Objective: the objective of this research is to reconstruct the socio-symbolic plot in which a particular work of graffiti in the Lavapiés neighborhood of Madrid is inscribed, in order to analyze the meanings and representations that it activates in the social imaginary. The topic is part of a broader research on cultural heritage issues. Methodology: the methodology used is qualitative and seeks to inscribe and understand the images in a broader historical context. Results: show urban communication processes that reveal tensions, resistances, and struggles in the face of the changes and transformations that took place in the dynamics of the neighborhood in question. Graffities thus become devices with the capacity to be read and reread, generating multiple appropriations that exceed the graphic themselves and refer to the always dynamic identity of a space that is lived and discussed. Conclusions: it is concluded by identifying the ways in which these demonstrations operate in the public arena. On the one hand, it operates at the service of the international market for its tourist attraction and, on the other hand, as a neighborhood expression and communication, discussing policies that are detrimental to local interests and needs.

Sustainability in the province of San Luis (Argentina), centered on the safeguarding of cultural heritage, has been part of the objectives of the political agenda since the beginning of the 21st century. In this framework, the indigenous populations played a central role, for whom land restitution and housing construction programs were carried out in order to promote their cultural reactivation. In this context, through a qualitative study based on conducting interviews, participant observations and a survey of documentary sources, the case of the construction of "Pueblo Ranquel" is analyzed, a settlement of Rankülche indigenous families inaugurated in 2009, whose emergence, aimed at promoting tourism, was promoted mainly by government sectors. The final objective of this work is to present a series of guidelines that emerge from the analysis of the case and from a theoretical-methodological reflection on the importance of the participation of the different actors involved in cultural policies.
