Abstract

The conclusion offers a synthesis of each chapter and the line followed through the book. It also gives the opportunity to propose several ways to continue this investigation. It means further investigation in Fez and for comparison with other sites, which would help to understand how the heritage works. It also involves drawing parallels between the forms of heritage and the modes of existences defined by Bruno Latour in his anthropology of the moderns. Finally, the grammar of heritage and the idea that heritage results from ‘a plus’ of attention invite us to think of additional components in heritage qualification, such as a particular conceptualisation of temporality as either a linear succession or one’s self-perception of being born at the wrong time.
