Abstract
Based Unesco's Memory of the World (MOW) Program, this article highlights three applications that received the international title of documentary heritage: “Life and work of Ernesto Che Guevara: from original adolescent and youth manuscripts to Bolivian campaign diaries”; “Nanjing Massacre Documents”; and “The Triple Alliance War: Iconographic and Cartographic Representations”. In addition to problematizing the arguments mobilized in the construction of each dossier, we will underline the consequences of the the recognition granted to these proposals as a humanity heritage. Our hypothesis is that the Memory of the World explains one of the facets that make up Unesco: the conflicting dispute of visions, interests and projects between the member states of this United Nations (UN) agency.
