THE HISTORICAL CENTER’S DASEIN: TERRITORIY AND IDENTITY IN LIGHT OF HEIDEGGER.

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to deepen in the relationship that exists between concepts such as identity and territory, inscribed in the cultural geographic framework of the Historic Centers; this arises due to its study from the interdiscipline and that conforms the theoretical framework of a doctoral thesis that deals with the architectural heritage, as the symbol of this identity that is gestated and developed in these sites given its transcendence in the historical and patrimonial. The importance and objective of this work lies in delving into the term dasein introduced by the German philosopher Heidegger in 1927, in relation to the identity of a place such as the Historic Center and its inhabitants. In this sense, it is enlightening to study these places, since they are considered the places where cities are officially founded.
