GONZALEZ MARQUEZ, Eliana Del Pilar. The hidden face of Puebla Historical Center: Territorial Stigmatization in the heritage area. An. antropol. [online]. 2023, vol.57, n.1, pp.137-146.  Epub Jan 20, 2025. ISSN 2448-6221.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iia.24486221e.2023.82419.

The dynamics, the importance and the boom that characterized historic centers of cities in the world, especially some Latin American cities, have made them relevant spaces in policy agenda of governments. The Historic Center of Puebla has been the object of unequal urban remodeling and renewal interventions implemented within a process of patrimonialization. By the means of ethnographic method, this research reveals that San Antonio, a historic neighborhood of Puebla Center, has represented a sort of functional hidden face to the area which holds the greatest tourist development and its effects on the population, sharpening the stigmatization as an element that facilitates and is used to support and legitimize the actions that reproduce the subordinate condition of San Antonio as the hidden face of the tourist areas of the Historic Center.

Keywords : Historical Center; patrimony; precariety; territorial stigmatization.
