| Sumario: | The present study examines the patrimonialization process occurring in rural territories, with a special emphasis on Santa Maria de los Reyes Huatlatlauca, a community that was occupied by mendicant orders in the 16th century. Using a qualitative, ethnographic approach, the study examines the interplay between migration, globalization, and local heritage through the lived experiences of the inhabitants. The fieldwork and participant observation revealed patterns of territorial perception and social organization that are fundamental to the preservation of local heritage. The findings of the study emphasize the role of actors' agency and the materiality of heritage as factors that contribute to the cohesion of communities. Religious architectural structures and the surrounding landscape are used to illustrate the sense of anchoring and belonging that are associated with these narratives. Everyday practices include coercive tasks that serve to strengthen the collective sense of heritage, situate them within a broader social dynamic, and provide a framework for understanding rural communities' identity and territoriality as a result of historical and contemporary pressures. |
