Na trilha do patrimônio industrial de Caxias do Sul 1875-1954: um território educativo

Abstract

The research proposes to develop instruments that promote the recognition, appreciation, protection, and preservation of industrial heritage through heritage education and public history, presented in this study through the development of the instrument "On the Trail of Industrial Heritage". To this end, the research report is structured into three chapters: in the first chapter, I outline the state of the art on industrial heritage from two perspectives - the construction of the field and the concept of Industrial Heritage, from its emergence in Europe to the studies that have been conducted in Brazil - as well as the instruments for the recognition, appreciation, protection, and preservation of industrial heritage. The second chapter presents the steps taken to prepare the inventory of the industrial heritage of Caxias do Sul, a key point for the development of other instruments for the recognition and preservation of industrial heritage, contextualizing the time period (1875 -1954) and the geographical space in which the research was carried out. The third chapter discusses all the actions developed within the "On the Trail of Industrial Heritage" instrument with the Digital Interactive Maps and mediated visits, which becomes an educational territory where its activities can be used as tools serving multiple purposes - as research for history teaching, as a teacher training workshop, as heritage management, as scientific dissemination, and as a point of convergence for a potential network of researchers on the subject in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Most importantly, however, it functions as an instrument for the recognition, appreciation, and preservation of industrial heritage. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
