Abstract
La formación superior en Gestión del Patrimonio Cultural ha despegado en las dos últimas décadas en las universidades y está modificándose y ampliándose rápidamente. Esto parece exigir la necesidad de un cambio en las estructuras académicas de modo que se incluyan en ellas Áreas de Conocimiento, Departamentos, Facultades o programas de Doctorado que acojan saberes transdisciplinares como el de la Gestión del Patrimonio Cultural. Con el fin de demostrarlo, analizamos la situación de estas enseñanzas en las universidades públicas españolas, especialmente en la UCM, donde se inició en 1991, hasta culminar, en 2017, con un Máster especializado interuniversitario. La preparación de ese nuevo Máster nos ha demostrado no sólo la dificultad de superar las barreras establecidas en las universidades, compartimentos estancos cuando se intenta poner en práctica la interdisciplinariedad, sino también la necesidad de que el Patrimonio Cultural y su gestión consigan tener “una casa propia” en el ámbito universitario.
Higher education on Cultural Heritage Management has taken of in the last two decades at the university level. It is now rapidly under change and getting broader. These changes point to the need for modifying current academic structures in order to include Fields of Study, Departments, Schools or PhD programs addressing transdisciplinary knowledges such as Cultural Heritage Management. To underpin this statement, we analyse the state of these teachings in the Spanish public universities, particularly in the UCM where the first courses on this topic started in 1991 and culminated in a specialised inter-university master degree in 2017. Setting up this novel master has taught us not only about the dificulties in overcoming the obstacles within universities, which become closed compartments when interdisciplinarity is put into practice, but also about Cultural Heritage (and its management)’s need for creating a “home of its own” within the university world.
