«¿Cómo hago esto?». Entrevista cruzada sobre el sector Cultura del Estado peruano

Abstract

The representations and practices of civil servants engaged daily in the development of public heritage policies in Peru are the central focus of this cross-interview with Mariela Meza Ponze and Oscar Espinoza Martín. Both have worked within the Qhapaq Ñan Project in this country and have held various positions within the Ministry of Culture, particularly in projects related to heritage. Through an auto-ethnographic exercise and a cross-analysis of the dynamics of actors and dialogue spaces in which they participated, they offer a critical perspective on the functioning modalities of Peru's cultural sector, revealing how institutional logic often imposes itself on the actions of civil servants.
