ABSTRACT
The characteristics and dynamics of the “new media” product – cinema, television, computers and their digitized mixture – function increasingly
as a mirror, reflecting the main features of the twenty-first century and providing a rich variety of new methods for the preservation and management of cultural heritage. These methods demand a deeper understanding of the effects of the new media digital tools on heritage maintenance and especially on the generation-to-generation transmission process (Bourdieu 1995). As the level of digitization rises allowing digital representations to become deeply involved in society’s construction of reality, its effect on the perception of cultural themes grows as well.
