A educação patrimonial como caminho para o conhecimento da história de Boa Vista do Sul

Abstract

This work proposes to discuss concepts related to memory, identity and representation, as well as the possibility of inserting Heritage Education in the teaching of history as a way to invigorate and rethink some pedagogical practices, seeking to innovate in the search for new alternatives of research and studies. The objective of the dissertation is to recount part of the history of Boa Vista do Sul, making use of practices related to the ways indicated by IPHAN to identify possible material and immaterial assets, raising as much data as possible. Finally, to make the community feel part of this history, recognizing itself as an integral part of these events, seeking to bring the community closer to its own historical and cultural dynamics through Heritage Education activities. The methodology of following the guidelines of IPHAN's Heritage Education Booklet, and using the inventory records models of Heritage Education was of great importance, since it was thus possible to systematize and optimize both the time and the information that was obtained orally or through research on personal or public documents. Revisiting and formalizing part of the history of the town, which was told by high school students of Marcelino Champagnat State High School and also by residents of the communities, was a process of collective construction, dynamic and that intends to serve as a basis for other researches that may occur in the future. The need of recognition, awareness and preservation of architectural heritage and immaterial practices, such as blessings, prayers or the manufacture of ointments and teas, were some of the patrimonial assets, among many others that were manifested in the town, listed as objects of study for this dissertation.
