The direct or artifact-mediated interaction between senders and receivers of legacy co-constructs legacy, which is fundamentally constituted based on the attributions, interpretations, and evaluation of the receivers and not based on the intentions and hopes of the senders only. Legacy should thus not be confounded with its artifacts because of the risk of reifying immaterial con tents which manifest in concrete forms such as words, images, and physical or symbolic artifacts but cannot be fully encapsulated in these forms. The same legacy, therefore, might be carried on through varying artifacts circulating in parallel, which enable receivers to act upon it and use it in the present and, in so doing, to participate in the process of co-construction of legacy over time.
