Social Practices, Rupture Events & Aesthetic Capital in Local Development

Summary/Abstract: This work identifies a dual process in intergenerational cultural transmission and reception mechanisms: on the one hand, a break in historical continuity between past and present, and, on the other, the use of its legitimacy to make a mark on history. The approach emphasizes two aspects of cultural and economic transformation, the change induced by sudden, pervasive events, and the plasticity of cultural reception. Therefore, it is intended to argue that without the socio-cultural disposition to accept change, economic transformations cannot work. Drawing on this idea, this article aims to elucidate how cultural transmission crosses time, allowing humanity to recognize and legitimize a new socio-economic order.
