Esta tese examina a noção de integridade - um dos principais crivos para a seleção de elementos culturais e naturais no sistema do patrimônio mundial -, buscando demonstrar a relação conflituosa entre os seus aspectos técnicos e político-administrativos na Organização das Nações Unidas para Educação, Ciência e Cultura [Unesco]. Para isso, a integridade é analisada a partir de três dimensões - a conceitual, a teórica e a institucional -, privilegiando fontes documentais como dicionários etimológicos e regulares; escritos da teoria do restauro; relatórios do Comitê e do Bureau do Patrimônio Mundial, de encontros de especialistas, de avaliação de nominações culturais e naturais; cartas circulares; guias operacionais; convenções; recomendações; e cartas patrimoniais, em diálogo com a historiografia sobre o tema. Assim, o trabalho evidencia que muitas decisões tomadas em nome da integridade foram impulsionadas por questões eminentemente políticoadministrativas, por vezes revestidas pelo véu da \"neutralidade\" das avaliações técnicas. / This thesis examines the notion of integrity - one of the main criteria for selecting cultural and natural areas in the World Heritage system -, seeking to demonstrate the conflicting relationship between its technical and political-administrative aspects in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [Unesco]. For this, integrity is analyzed from three dimensions - conceptual, theoretical and institutional -, favoring documental sources such as regular and etymological dictionaries; writings on restoration theory; reports from the World Heritage Committee and Bureau, expert meetings, assessments of cultural and natural nominations; circular letters; operational guidelines; conventions; recommendations; and heritage charters, in dialogue with the historiography on the subject. Therefore, the study shows that many decisions taken in the name of integrity were driven by eminently political and administrative issues, sometimes covered by the veil of \"neutrality\" of technical evaluations.

Este trabalho acompanha a produção e a circulação transatlântica de uma das muitas imagens do Haiti: o Haiti popular, paisagem estético-antropológica amplamente proliferada na metade do século XX. Com a ajuda de uma série de fontes documentais e tendo o antropólogo franco-suíço Alfred Métraux (1902-1963) como um dos principais guias, a pesquisa explora a construção de três experiências institucionais no país nos anos 1940: o museu do Bureau d\'Ethnologie, fundado em 1941, a biblioteca/museu do projeto Unesco em Marbial, concebida em 1948, e o Centre d\'Art, inaugurado em 1944. Embora distintos, esses experimentos, que agregam os campos da museologia, da educação e da produção científica, compartilham não só um propósito semelhante o de fornecer ao Haiti uma cultura tradutível em objetos, formas e imagens , mas também uma mesma rede de circulação de pessoas: intelectuais, artistas, políticos e gestores haitianos e estrangeiros encarregados de sua produção. A análise proposta segue, com base em um exercício de imaginação etnográfica com os documentos, o trânsito de pessoas, coisas e ideias presentes na formação de tais instituições, desvendando o sentido do Haiti popular que passa a ser pendurado em paredes, apoiado em estantes e exibido em exposições. / This work follows the production and the transatlantic circulation of one of the many images of Haiti: the popular Haiti, an aesthetic-anthropological landscape widely proliferated in the middle of the XX century. Through a series of documentary sources and having the Franco-Swiss anthropologist Alfred Métraux (1902-1963) as main guide, the research explores the creation of three institutional experiences in the country in the 1940s: the Bureau d\'Ethnologie (1941), the Unesco museum / library in Marbial (1948) and the Centre d\'Art (1944). Despite its different natures, these experiments, which combine the fields of museology, education and scientific production, share not only a similar purpose - to provide Haiti a culture translateable into objects and images -, but also the same network of people in charge of its production: haitian and foreign intellectuals, artists, politicians and bureaucrats. The research is therefore an exercise of ethnographic imagination with the documents that follows the flow of people, things and ideas present in the emergence of these institutions, unraveling the meanings of the popular Haiti that was in this period displayed on walls, shelves and exhibitions.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the current situation of the library and information services of the Arab National Commissions for Unesco. Based on a desired image anticipated by the respective Organisations and the Commissions, and in consideration of the requirements of a specialised library to support the mission of its parent commission, a theoretical framework to act as a guide through this investigation was developed. Within the context of this framework, the relevant components and factors were identified. The focus was placed on input and output factors, and the interaction made by users with these components. For this purpose, a survey of the libraries, and two parallel surveys of both internal and external users were carried out. Relevant data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, visits and observation. Hypotheses to examine the level of use by internal users and how their characteristics influenced the frequency of use were designed and tested. Being interested in certain topics, and seeking information to perform certain tasks were the main significative factors influencing the level of use of internal users. The distance, external users travelled to the library, was the main factor influencing their use. The study also intended to identify the problems inherent in these libraries, and to detect the causes of these problems. A hypothesis designed to examine the relationships among personal attributes and their frequency of encountering the problems was tested. Another hypothesis to test the relationship between some input elements and the frequency of encountering problems was also tested: The main problems relating to availability and accessibility of information, originated from the libraries rather than from the users. In addition, the study considered the needs of internal users, and their level of use, their methods of getting information from the libraries, and what action they took to solve the problem of availability. A general assessment of the effectiveness of the services was discussed, and the main problems hindering the effective role of the libraries were identified. In the light of the analysis of the literature, and the findings of the study, the desired image became more apparent, and an action plan for the development and improvement of the services was formulated.
