Abstract

At present, within the framework of the Social Sciences, a rationale has been consolidated that recognizes the political nature of all systems of ideas that are constructed. The call for a political transformation of all ways of understanding, making and disseminating historical/cultural knowledge is today a task of the first order and we believe that this entails above all the awareness of the citizen's role within this process both on an individual and collective scale. The work here presented focuses on the practical results obtained from the development of a community perception study of museological heritage policies, inserted into an alternative theoretical-methodological scheme of dialectical approach. Through this tool we seek to understand -in the current local/global context- the musealization policies and community work developed by the Museum of Archaeology of Havana Historian´s Office, specifically those aimed at disseminating among children the archaeological heritage in Old Havana.
