Poetics for the Resilience: participatory actions to Safeguard Local Heritage in Natural Disasters
Keywords:
living heritage, community resilience, participatory art, poetic methodologiesAbstract
Communities affected by natural disasters can activate processes of cultural resilience through artistic, symbolic, and participatory practices that safeguard local heritage. This article promotes, through an in-depth study of a mountain community impacted by a hurricane, the exploration of methodologies that integrate poetry, resilience, and cultural heritage through dramatization, symbolic gardening, and intergenerational storytelling as a form of resistance and identity reconstruction. The goal is to propose a set of participatory actions to safeguard local heritage in the face of natural disasters, based on the poetics of community resilience, strengthening cultural management capacities and social reconstruction processes in risk contexts. The approach combines research, participatory action with theoretical frameworks of living heritage, cultural ecology, and collective health.. The results show how these actions strengthen community ties, revalue local knowledge, and promote heritage management that is sensitive to trauma and context. The scientific methods used—analysis and synthesis, induction-deduction, and the systemic approach to knowledge—allow for generalizing approaches, proposing a transdisciplinary perspective that combines art, collective memory, and participation. This makes it possible to present their theoretical-practical contribution: their input to debates on living heritage, cultural resilience, and decolonizing methodologies, reflected in the changes seen in the community in defending local heritage and its intergenerational ties.
