The present study explores the relationship between material cultural heritage and the construction and perpetuation of the political memory of the city of Volta Redonda, focusing on the analysis of the Memorial 9 de Novembro designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer. Monuments are erected by representatives of the public power, endowing them with official legitimacies. The problematics surrounding these representations—specifically the memorial in question—revolve around questioning who legitimizes heritage and how the municipality presents and represents its political history, highlighting the 1988 Strike at the National Steel Company (CSN) and the labor movement. The research aims to reflect on Volta Redonda's connection to its union worker memory through cultural heritage and the conflicts surrounding it. The methodology employed in this research is based on a documentary and bibliographic approach, involving the review and analysis of a wide range of relevant materials such as books, academic articles, and specialized publications. This bibliographic review enables comprehensive information retrieval and theoretical grounding for the study. Furthermore, relevant heritage concepts discussed in the work were explored. During field research, photographic records were made, playing an important role in visually documenting elements of interest related to the studied cultural heritage. Authors such as Paul Ricouer (2007), Pierre Nora (1993), and Françoise Choay (2000) were consulted and contributed theoretically to the research. This dissertation addresses the right to memory and its relation to the recognition of heritage not linked to the dominant social class. This justifies the contemporary need to discuss the political, aesthetic, and memory connections involved in the preservation and destruction of cultural heritage. The research aims to understand the breadth and diversity of the relationships established between memory, the city, and heritage, and how they are related to the process of affirmation and recognition of the social identity of certain groups through memory from the perspective of cultural manifestations. Here, we consider the relationship between the past and the present and how the present can embody itself in certain places and/or objects as monumental memory, laden with meanings, thanks to experiences marked by spatial and social changes, intertwined with intrinsic and almost silent discourses on power. Thus, the analysis of the Memorial 9 de Novembro allows for a deeper reflection on the narrative of heritage construction and how they are presented and preserved, especially regarding the struggle of workers in the Southern Fluminense region.

The collective experience experienced by Candomblé as a sociocultural practice has always been one of the most emblematic issues in the struggle of practitioners of these religiosities, in terms of legitimacy and freedom to exist as a social right. In Brazil, the enslavement of Africans brought with it very specific particularities when we delve into the issue of diversity as a point of view, which is reflected in numerous demands, including historically mediated ones. Brazilian culture is made up of gaps and erasures that hide the African and Afro-descendant experience in the history of Brazil, and that still resist in the collective memory of the African Matrix house’s religion. In this barn of events and resignifications, we join the context of the Baixada Fluminense territory, equally diverse, wide, surrounded by conflicts that cross the cultural history of the social formation of this country, since these histories are repeated in neighborhoods and peripheries throughout Brazil, these they also contain stories about Candomblé as a collective experience and the maintenance of practices by Afro-descendant populations. In this way, memory, history and identity are part of a legacy where heritage, culture and society meet to discuss ways of existing and reaffirm human values rebuilt with religiosity as a centrality.

The main objective of this dissertation is to critically evaluate the cultural significance, the appropriation by the local population and the public conservation of the structural, decorative and plant elements that make up the garden of Barão de Campo Belo Square (1835-1857), an integral part of the Urban Landscape of the City of Vassouras/RJ, a cultural asset protected by federal heritage since 1957. The landscape of the historic center of Vassouras has undergone several interventions over time. With this, it is possible to perceive that there is a lack of recognition of the importance of the landscape composition of the historic gardens of Vassouras, generating a gap in the treatment of its conservation, which has as a consequence the insufficiency of criteria and guidelines for its management and management. that can compromise the integrity and authenticity of the entire cultural landscape of the set. The proposed methodology was established in four stages. The first is dedicated to a review of the literature on the conservation of historic gardens, through the main national and international documents and the production of authors related to the theme that address the conservation of these spaces. In the second stage, we tried to understand, through bibliographical, iconographic and documentary research, the transformation processes of the Barão de Campo Belo Square over time, identifying the projects, plans, past interventions and political contexts that determined the conservation of the area of study, which will allow to identify the losses, additions and transformations suffered by the space. In the third stage, a critical analysis of the successive municipal legislations related to the square in question is proposed, as well as the attitude of the municipal management towards the need for conservation of the listed Vassouras complex, which includes the square. Finally, the stated concepts will serve as a basis for establishing criteria for future conservation interventions focused on the object studied.

This study presents the processes of (re)construction of railway memory in the city of Valença, Rio de Janeiro. From the 19th century until the 1970s, several companies operated railroads that ran through the entire city. Based on the notion of memory place, we proposed to analyze the processes of memory reconstruction in spaces such as the Railroad Museum, the Associação União Valenciana para Preservação Ferroviária (UVAFER) and the of Former Students of the Mário de Castilhos Professional School. For the construction of this research, we seek a methodology that handles the work with two distinct types of document sources. Regarding the Railroad Museum of Valença, the collection formed by Sebastião Victor throughout his life will be analyzed, including the museum itself as a historic document. To analyze the motivations that culminated in the return of three train wagon that were manufactured in the city in 2018, we started a research approaching Oral History, seeking to interview UVAFER directors as well as a group of former students from Escola Profissional Mário de Castilhos. It should be noted that the collection and analysis of these discourses also contributes to the understanding of the construction of this memory based on the patrimonialization of Valença's railway past in connection with the historiography on the subject.

To acknowledge the natural as heritage is comprehend, to begin with, that the relationship between men and nature qualifies it. Even knowing that in Baixada Fluminense (BF) this aware look over the environment is not accurate, it is our duty to think about the transformations that this interaction may propose. In addition to that, based on a focus analysis over the Parque Natural Municipal de Nova Iguaçu (PNMNI) it is aimed to understand – through bibliographic data and research in field – a way to rename the local look not only over the natural, but also over its history. Meanwhile, the general objective here is to analyze how it is given the appropriation over the natural areas building a meaning to the cultural natural heritage, its challenge and potentialities through the territory known as Baixada Fluminense, focusing on the PNMNI.  Our discussion start with an overall on the Patrimonial Letters also the Brazilian environmental laws in a way to evaluate how they recognize the conservation of the nature as a benefit to society, eliciting the BF’s history since before it has its name, characterizing it with the positive and negative points that promulgate the viability of this exchange, to further, bring to knowledge the PNMNI not only as leisure are – as the common sense sees it – but besides its role to the historical, cultural, social and natural heritage to the community and to whom visits it. Methodologically, to complement these questions, it is used the bibliographic data base contextualizing it to two models of qualitative interviews, one structured applied during the pandemic to open questions about the general interests of this research, and other semi-structured to fulfill the data found among the projects already available to allow us to rebuild this belonging feeling. As a result, we may mention the projects alongside the participation of the Local Environment Political Department united with the universities and part of the local habitants as said in the interview, being among them: Tenda Conhecer, Um dia no Parque, Encontro de Pesquisadores and Parque para Todos. All of them based on the purpose to approximate the locals and visitors to their natural component aiming to rename this possible relationship with the community.  

The purpose of this work is to analyze initiatives for the identification and preservation of the Cultural Heritage of Science and Technology in Technical Schools (PCC&T), hitherto little investigated. These school units are important spaces for the storage of scientific and technological objects used in technical and professional education, reserving still unexplored treasures. Due to the existence of century-old vocational school units incorporated into the Technical School Support Foundation (FAETEC) and adding to this the acquisition of equipment for the classroom laboratories such as: tools, machinery, utensils, furniture, manuals, among others, it appears It is known that the Cultural Heritage of Science and Technology (PCC&T) in these institutions is gigantic. It is worth mentioning that the technological advances, which spanned the last two centuries, partially or totally replaced the existing forms of production, as the world of work became automated and modernized. Such changes had a direct impact on professional education and, consequently, on the tools used in schools for technical education. Obsolete, many of these artifacts, which were once decisive for the quality offered in the training of students, were being discarded or removed from school learning, generating concern about discarding without criteria. In this sense, the present work intends to contribute to the debates about the preservation of the memory of the scientific and technological heritage, in turn, so valuable for our society. The set of educational units of the FAETEC Network brings together a valuable historical school collection specific to technical and professional training in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, it needs to be preserved due to the relevance of witnessing the scientific and technological transformations that have occurred over time in the world of work and in the training of Brazilian workers. Finally, this theme deals with highlighting the importance of preserving the heritage of Science and Technology in Professional Education as a construction of citizenship and collective identity.

In the research we intend to develop, quilombo is understood as a place of memory and resistance in the trajectory of the struggle of the black population, which begins with the colonial period and extends to the present day. In this way, we seek to identify the current difficulties faced by them in the field of recognition and preservation of their territory and, consequently, of their cultural heritage. We understand that the community of Quilombo de Santana recognizes itself from a certain territoriality that is only possible due to the existence of a set of cultural references, which they appropriate both in a more subjective scope and in a more concrete dimension with the land where they occupy, like family farming, the production of handicrafts made with local materials. Furthermore, based on this appropriation, they institute social practices that feed back a particular dimension of the world that constitutes a territoriality. The main objective of this research is to understand the appropriation of land and its symbolic uses from the memories of the members of this community. In this sense, we seek to identify and systematize the main cultural references that currently stand out according to the perception of the quilombolas themselves. For this, we used as a methodology semi-structured interviews, electronic forms and we organized the identified references through sheets with categories (places, celebrations, knowledge, etc.). with a view to recognizing its cultural, historical and social legacy. We believe that these references are responsible for strengthening the quilombola identity and express the feeling of belonging that the population of the Santana quilombo have with their territory and with the history of the place.

This research aims to discuss the scope of the preservation and conservation policies implemented on the first building of the Austin train station. Investigate which actions of public property managers are, in fact, being effective in the conservation of this asset that is part of the railway cultural heritage. The general objective is to understand the railway heritage preservation policy within the scope of IPHAN and the actions of the public administration according to the different agents (IPHAN, INEPAC, State Government, Nova Iguaçu City Hall). Establishing a connection with the investigated object and based on documentary research, interviews with managers and local residents, this paper intends to be carried out in order to determine its current situation. Using a dialectical method in a confrontation between the subjects that deal with the railway cultural heritage, it is possible to question the object as to its turn from use of the railway heritage as a secondary function, because, when not preserved, it raises doubts about not effectiveness of the recommended actions, mainly in the field of legality, revealing a gap on such actions that would need to be implemented, but are not. It seeks to unravel why such actions are not carried out, confirming the absence of a comprehensive management of the building, resulting in the total lack of characterization of the investigated property, loss of its authenticity and consequently its deterioration in line with the loss of its historical value. As specific objectives, it is proposed to provide a broad view as to the effectiveness or not of the plans for preservation and valuation of the property in question. It allows a discussion with a critical and constructive approach in order to bring other paths that contribute to more effective management with a focus on space conservation and preservation. This paper follows an objective division of three chapters where in the first chapter the intention is to introduce concepts about how the railway sector was a precursor during the expansion of the means of production and why today it is configured as a cultural cultural heritage, in a historical perspective, in order to understand that the railway sector has undergone several changes over the decades until its decline. Understand that it was not established alone, but was motivated by the wishes for expansion in economic production, cost cutting in line with what was already occurring on the world stage and, consequently, in some cities, changes in the territorial plan. In addition to this, studies on heritage conservation policies in the three spheres of the federation and the role of institutions in the preservation of the sector will be addressed, as well as the participation of social actors, allowing to understand the functions and fields of action, what are their competencies and what is developed about the good investigated and the possible difficulties that each one faces. In the second chapter, it will try to contextualize the well researched from the knowledge produced, seeking to understand its influence on the neighborhood. In the third chapter, the research intends to discuss about the integral management of the patrimony, and how the management instruments are being used in the preservation of the railway patrimony.

The present research focuses on the study of the tradition of know-how of the Tapeceiras do Espraiado in the municipality of Maricá, which is located in the State of Rio de Janeiro. It is a tradition that dates back to the life and trajectory of Madeleine Colaço, who in the 1950s moved to Espraiado and spread this art there, which has become a relevant cultural element for the local population and a Brazilian reference in the field of tapestry. . The technique taught by Madeleine Colaço is preserved, marked by a stitch inspired, according to the artisan herself, in the rhythm and cadence of the samba, for the creation of tapestries. Today the tapestries are made by the group of Tapeceiras do Espraiado and the production of this group is exposed in a local studio and in different events that are inscribed both in the cultural calendar of the city as well as in events outside the city space itself. For a better understanding of the importance of the safeguarding dimension of the know-how of the Tapeceiras do Espraiado, the tradition linked to the memory of Madeleine Colaço, the diffusion of this tradition and its appropriation by the local community over seven decades, and, still , it is argued that this know-how is established as a cultural heritage of the city of Maricá. Therefore, this research dialogues with the field of Oral History, and is based on a set of interviews carried out with contemporary artisans who preserve this know-how, with people who lived with the artisan and, also, with local residents who recognize themselves in this expression that is associated with the field not only of crafts but also of art. This work is also anchored in the concepts of identity and memory, as this know-how marks the routine of artisans in the city of Maricá, not only because it ensures their sustainability, but, especially, because it creates bonds of belonging, through this expression, which extends to a wider collective of tapestries and tapestries admirers

This research is aimed at reflecting on the creation of didactic-pedagogical strategies in Heritage Education and its political, dialogical and communicative aspect, in a sensitizing and participatory perspective that points out dilemmas and complexities existing in the approach of knowledge and methodologies that need to be negotiated in the process of elaborating the pedagogical discourse of Heritage Education. The idea that we present comprises Cultural Heritage as an essential means for the constitution of identities and Heritage Education as a space for expression and political representation of the Other and the Self and also for the recognition of difference as a possibility of building meaning. Thus, we seek to establish a dialogue between Cultural Heritage and Education, with the school as a place of investigation, as it is a different space for the production of interdisciplinary knowledge, showing that the field of Heritage Education is an area of eminently interdisciplinary knowledge and that the idea of transformation of scientific knowledge with the intention of teaching and disseminating it is not organized in the form of simple “adjustment” or “simplification” of knowledge. Understanding the pedagogical discourse production process can assist in different ways the construction and appropriation of the discourse presented in the field of Heritage Education. We aim to understand the pedagogical discourse of Heritage Education presented in public policies for education and culture, and its relationship with aspects of citizenship and cultural rights, from the concepts of discursive semiotics and art-education; to investigate heritage education and art education practices interested in building processes of interaction between the differences that constitute Brazilian social diversity; observe studies of discursive semiotics in school teaching-learning, aimed at building discourses of acceptance of difference and social inclusion and articulating systemically aspects of heritage education as a pedagogical intervention practice for social inclusion and state actions in the area of culture. In order to substantiate our knowledge on the subject, we gathered in bibliographic research theoretical assumptions from authors in the field of Heritage Education, such as Maria de Lourdes Parreiras Horta, Evelina Grunberg and Adriane Queiroz Monteiro (1999), Elisa Roberta Zanon, Leandro Henrique Magalhães and Patrícia Martins Castelo White (2009); Cultural Policies, Isaura Botelho (2007), Marilena Chauí (2006) and Lia Calabre (2018); from Discursive Semiotics, Algirdas Julius Greimas (2008) and Eric Landowski (2012); da Arte-Educação, Ana Mae Barbosa (1999) and Herbert Read (2001), articulated by the concept of Recontextualization of the pedagogical discourse of Basil Bernstein (2003) as didactic and methodological support for possible interventions aimed at the effectiveness, continuity, evaluation and adjustment of policies for the democratization of cultural rights for all.

This research deals with the analysis of the beginnings of the Serranopolis do Iguaçu’s Museum and its local collection formed by lithic artefacts from native people of West Paraná - Brazil

The adaptable reuse of historical structures extends its life cycle within the lifespan of the urban resources. Economic arguments can contribute to support and up value actions to conserve the cultural heritage. Therefore, the presented study intend to reflect on the economical benefits as also to suggest indicators that predict the economic viability of the historic building conservation, in light of the construction of new buildings for the same use. After an extensive analysis of international bibliographical references specialized in economical conservation, a case report was carried out using two environmental economic indicators. Both indicators act on the built environment, being one the constructive economy indicator and the other conservation of urban centers indicator. In order to illustrate regional conservation practices, applying selected indicators and making progress on the economy of conservation, the “Fábrica do Conhecimento” in Paracambi- RJ was used as a case report. The selected case report is referred to a set of buildings, protected by the state government and the actions of conservation and using conversions of this factory complex of an old Brazilian Textil Corporation in a center of opportunity, mediated by Paracambi municipal administration. The application of the environmental indicators showed that even the necessity of some adaptations, expense to a new built for the same finality and with the same building quality would have higher budget and execution time, in addition to another projects difficulties. The conclusions of this case report showed the old factory complex was reframed, serving as a development inducer and becoming a invited place with several study opportunities, professionalization, culture, social events and service offer to the community.

The study deals with the Brotherhood of Santo Elesbão and Santa Efigênia, a religious institution founded in the 18th century in the city of São Sebastião in Rio de Janeiro by enslaved Africans from Costa da Mina, Cape Verde, São Thomé Island and Mozambique, currently located at Rua da Alfândega, nº 219, on the corner of Avenida Passos, in the center of Rio de Janeiro, in SAARA. The lens for the study was the commitment (bylaw) built at the same time and authorized 10 years after its formalization. The other lens used was the listing process carried out by INEPAC of the Church of the Brotherhood of São Elesbão and Santa Efigênia as a heritage of the State of Rio de Janeiro, which shows that there is a wide silence in relation to the Afro matrix symbols that are present in the space ritual of that institution. The central question presented in this study is: Can the Brotherhood of Black Men of Santo Elesbão and Santa Efigênia be understood as a place of ancestral memory of the legacy of black culture in Rio de Janeiro? These questions are associated with others, such as: a) What are the religious brotherhoods of black men in Brazil and how were they formed?; b) How was the creation of the Brotherhood of Santo Elesbão and Santa Efigênia in Rio de Janeiro?; c) Does the Santo Elesbão and Santa Efigênia Brotherhood keep a black African cultural legacy in Rio de Janeiro? Based on these questions, the study aims to: analyze the Brotherhood of Santo Elesbão and Santa Efigênia as guardian of a memory and history of the struggle of enslaved Africans and their descendants against slavery, for identity affirmation and cultural resistance in Rio de January. The specific objectives are: a) To historically contextualize the emergence of the Brotherhoods of Black Men since their origin and constitution as a space for cultural struggle and resistance of Africans and their descendants in Brazil; b) Characterize the social and cultural configuration of the Brotherhood of Black Men of Santo Elesbão and Santa Efigênia from the perspective of the protagonism of the African black community in Rio de Janeiro; c) Establish the relationship between the Brotherhood of Black Men of Santo Elesbão and Santa Efigênia with a black African cultural legacy in Rio de Janeiro made invisible by cultural preservation policies, linking the marks and symbolic elements existing in the interior of the Church listed by INEPAC to the universe of the religiosity of the Candomblé terreiros community, therefore the guardian of an ancestral memory. Characterized as a case study, the research suffered strongly from the effects of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 with a direct impact on the partially carried out field work, starting to configure itself as documentary and bibliographic research with a qualitative approach, which allowed its completion. Highlighting the importance of the Brotherhood of Santo Elesbão and Santa Efigênia as holder of a legacy of black African culture in Rio de Janeiro, we hope that this work has contributed to greater visibility on themes related to memory, history and black culture or African matrix in positive perspective of its collective subjects, Afro-Brazilians, in the field of studies on cultural preservation in our country.

This paper is a study that discusses the experiences and artistic-cultural practices of the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS), in particular, the contributions of therapeutic workshops of the CAPS (Psychosocial Care Center) device and its internal and external relations to cultural references and assets and their patrimonialization. It is intended to highlight that the policies of patrimonialization and Cultural Rights add one more space that demystifies the social imaginary of the mental health service users and guarantee one more place of citizenship for them. It is assumed that the spaces that circulate Art & Culture in the field of mental health and psychosocial care are also resignifications of phenomena that involve the re/construction of the subject in its individuality and collectivity through cultural, symbolic, artistic, and identity expressions. Historically, among the Brazilian movements that stood out in the struggle to replace the asylums system in mental health was the Mental Health Workers Movement (MTSM). This movement, in 1987, during the II National Congress of Mental Health Workers, was transformed into an organized and broad social movement, called: Movimento pela Luta Antimanicomial (Movement for the Anti-mental asylum system). As the social movements occupied spaces in the political scenario and put pressure on the state power, the legislation, then, was being altered (Amarante, 1994). It was from the social mobilizations and the legal transformations that the health services were sought to be organized, prioritizing the integrality of actions, the universality of access to services and the democratic participation, considering the attention to the person in psychic suffering in the scope of citizenship and not only of assistance through the Unified Health System (SUS - Law 8080/90). One of the mental health devices resulting from this struggle is the CAPS. This study aimed to ponder the relations of cultural heritage and its various contexts of political and social practices in the mental health environment, through the contextualization of the use of art-culture and its signs during the practices of mental health care and psychosocial attention of the device CAPS III - Dr. Jayr Nogueira, located in the center of the city of Nova Iguaçu, metropolitan region of RJ, in Baixada Fluminense. The author intended to formulate and apply questionnaires and semi-structured interviews as a research tool with users, family members, and employees of CAPS III - Jayr Nogueira. However, due to the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic in the beginning of the year 2020 in Brazil, unfortunately entering the year 2021, the actions reserved for the collection, analysis, and treatment of these data were summarily compromised. Not because of this, an imposing dialogue between Cultural Rights, Human Rights, cultural diversity, care practices in mental health and psychosocial care, and their emancipations that strengthen the integration guidelines of the Anti-Attempted Treatment. Contributions that awaken another "social place" for madness and mental illness and its re-significations through heritage policies. The patrimonialization ensures the protection of the collective memory, the debate on important themes for the Anti-mental asylum struggle, and the recognition of the autonomy and protagonism of users.

The present work searches through the historiographic analysis of documentation, to establish parallels on the destruction and submersion of São João Marcos city, through the places of memory in relation to the city, which in a nineteenth century moment, had relevent importance for the Country, and little more than half a century later it becomes emptied of meaning and importance to the Brazilian State. Although for its relevance of its rare example of Neocolonial architectural set was listed by SPHAN on May 19, 1939, shortly after being revoked his protection by President Getúlio Vargas on June 3, 1940, with the nation's progress justification. The main objective of this work is to try to understand how the memory from the documentary records and the residents reports, can reinvigorate or establish important ties with the past and the daily reality of São João Marcos city, and how this city destruction rupture created gaps in the history of this population and its identity.

This research aims to investigate the Tabatinga Language as an element of cultural interest. 

It is a strategy aimed at the perception of the linguistic phenomenon as a product of various factors of social and 

political order and resistance. Discussing the processes of recognition of linguistic diversity as a Brazilian Cultural 

Reference through Iphan Decree 3.551 / 2000 and the National Program of Intangible Heritage (PNPI).   To this end,

 I seek to understand the use of Tabatinga Language in social interactions and the meaning it assumes within the 

scope of intangible cultural heritage; Analyze the aspects of cultural resistance that are part of preserving the 

Tabatinga language among the speaking community; and Analyze how Tabatinga Language takes on a new meaning 

in contemporary society, based on the new social roles of these individuals.   The approach is in the field of 

Intangible Cultural Heritage, its central focus is on the study of Tabatinga Language and its social history from

historical sources, using concepts formulated by sociolinguistics and oral history.

The study aims to (re) analyze the urban policies implemented in the city of Rio de Janeiro, specifically in the port region. As well as the use of public space, and how different groups were affected in this process, including the management of cultural heritage. We start from the analysis of the historical process of urbanization of the politics of Mayor Pereira Passos, period from 1902 to 1906, inspired by the city model implemented by Haussmann in Paris, France in 1853-1882. Other urbanistic interventions mark this process of extension and remodeling, besides the insertion of new urban and cultural equipments. Along the same line of argument, the process of hierarchization of the urban fabric with a view to the isolation belt that segregates the port area and the neighborhoods that make up the region such as Saúde, Gamboa, Santo Cristo called SAGAS. In this context, we start from the assumption that the process of urban (re) planning at the same time that configures the urban landscape, (re) functionalizes spaces, tends to limit and barriers, while revealing social segregation and marginalization. cultural references of different groups, in which we have as background the dialectic of cultural capital versus economic capital inserted in the dynamics of space production and social relations. Based on the fundamental theoretical and methodological investigation regarding our object of study, it can be seen that the processes and urban configurations in the city of Rio de Janeiro have contributed to the forgetting of the cultural references of different identity groups, including Afro-Brazilian culture. . Since then, the argument is that the barriers, limitations and the valorization of public spaces show that a compensation mechanism has been created in the urban culture of the city in order to invest in public space for the desire of the private, in which spaces and equipment apparently '' public '' and cultural are appropriated by certain social groups / classes, in pursuit of social status and income, even no different in the field of cultural heritage.

This research, as part of an interdisciplinary master's degree in heritage, culture and society, has chosen to study an institution that is outstanding in the Baixada Fluminense that deals with issues related to the expansion of the patrimonial field: the Living Museum of São Bento. This choice was due to the need and importance of valuing and strengthening initiatives that focus on the heritage, memory and history of the Baixada Fluminense, which are so expensive for the region. To do so, the research includes the Living Museum of São Bento as a space of struggle and resistance since its creation and also invests in the perception and characterization of the meaning of the multiple activities developed within the institution. It thus takes the social museology, of which the Living Museum of São Bento has praxis, as an important reference, which demonstrates from the fronts of actions and senses of the museum, what are the uses and appropriations that are made of the knowledge and do local and that contribute to the construction of feelings of belonging and of collectivity, besides encouraging the experimentation from the perspective of the fields of cultural patrimony, patrimonial education and social museology. This work, therefore, announces these fields as inclusive and democratic tools to be used and appropriated in the service of social inclusion and human dignity.

The rich Resende cultural heritage, built as an inheritance of the coffee culture, in the colonial and imperial periods of Brazil, resisted time, but it suffers nowadays with the risk of being lost, both in space and in the memory of the population of the municipality. The economic devaluation and abandonment of these architectural structures and historical monuments are maximized with the unplanned growth that went to the city in the last quartile of the XX century, when it became important industrial pole of the State of Rio de Janeiro, with population growth, real estate growth disinformation about the cultural space of the city and the accentuated appreciation of contemporary global culture, especially by the younger ones. Thus, this dissertation intends to present a discussion about Tourism Education in cities that has tourism as one of its economic and social activities, as well as its correlation with Patrimonial Education, in the case of historical cities or with historical remnants, such as case of Resende / RJ, represented by its Historical Center. The research methodology is characterized as: bibliographic, exploratory, descriptive and qualitative, using semi-structured interviews, with agents involved with the subject, and structured interviews, with open and closed questions, with residents of the Historic Center of Resende . The study on Patrimonial and Tourism Education stands out for its social relevance for the production of a permanent dialogue in the historical, cultural, economic, environmental, political, social and educational perspectives of the municipality. As a result it was realized that the local and tourist population needs to be sensitized through educational actions based on local tourism planning, for the awareness and conservation of the cultural assets of the municipality. It was noticed the existence of legal diplomas of planning that conjugate the area of education, patrimony and tourism, as well as projects related to the theme. However, there is no effective implementation in the principles present in the legal diplomas and in projects due to lack of clarification and discontinuity in its execution, not all the aspirated objectives have been achieved.

The text refers to the memories of the political repression in Brazil, in the period of the military dictatorship, until the first years of redemocratization. Aiming at the different uses, appropriations and constructions of buildings with the purpose of establishing places of memory, the present research sought to relate the Memorial of Amnesty Politics of Brazil and the use of its physical space to promote memory practices. With memory as the guiding thread of history, the relations between social identity, territory, social memory and state will be presented.

The central object of the research is the old railway branch of Governador Portella and Santa Rita de Jacutinga and its railway space, understood not only as the stations, or the trains and rails, but like all the complex that accompanies the characteristic structures. The Jacutinga Line, as it was known, began in Governador Portella, 2^nd District of Miguel Pereira - RJ, passing through the municipalities of Rio de Janeiro, Engenheiro Paulo de Frontin, Vassouras, Valença to its final station in Santa Rita de Jacutinga - MG. Because of its size (147 km) and significant patrimony, a spatial and chronological. Thus, we investigated the history of the railroad and, more specifically, the railway complex and stations of Governador Portella, Santa Rita de Jacutinga, and Valença, from 1918 to 1972, under the category of “railway memory”. Based on theories that deal with the notions of social memory and place of memory, this article explores the material and imaginary construction of the railway space comprised with the Jacutinga Line, as well as the representations and social relations that have developed there. In another plan, we try to problematize how this category appears with the eradication of this extension in 1972. To date, the analyzes make it possible to affirm that the railway memory covers all the supports and sources of information, especially those of documentary-bibliographic, iconographic, historical, architectural and sociological. Regarding chapters 1, 2 and 3 presented to the Qualification Bank, they deal respectively with: the theoretical discussion about the concepts that underlie and support the theme; of a survey of literatures around the concept of “railway memory”, via the traditional patrimonial processes; and the main aspects of the formation of the railways, as well as the historical contextualization of its implantation from Rio de Janeiro to the formation of E. F. União Valenciana, origin of the branch studied.

Music inspires and provokes sensations, it provides reflections, articulating itself in different contexts.  An important element for the construction of the culture of a group or place, it provides the formation of references and cultural representations of such group or place, being also a means of recording their memories.  In this sense, the aim of this paper is to analyze song lyrics about Lapa in Rio de Janeiro, in order to identify some of the neighborhood memories, cultural aspects and to understand how music, culture, memory and the “place of memory” are related.  The songs that were chosen to be analized represent “Lapa in three moments in time”, Portela samba-plot, from 1971; “A Lapa”, composed by Benedito Lacerda and Herivelton Martins, in 1950; “Lapa na década de 30” by Moreira da Silva, composed in 1977; “Eu vou pra Lapa”, played by Alcione; “Flor da Lapa”, by Wilson Batista and Cesar Brasil, in 1950; and “Beijo sem”, composed by Adriana Calcanhotto, in 2009. Thus, we aim to discuss music as an element capable of evoking memories and also valuing and creating places of memory.  For such, we use as methodology, the bibliographical survey, the methods of content and textual analysis.  As a result, we could realize that lyrics can evoke memories, exalt characteristics of the Lapa neighborhood, and also understand the importance of apparatuses, such as music, which enables the conservation, enhancement and continuity of a culture.

The objective of this work is to understand the process of conservation of the documents related to the process of construction of the architectural heritage and landscape Seropédica campus of UFRRJ, and the digitization and availability of documents for the public. It discusses the importance of preserving documentation for the preservation of memory, history and information; just as it is important for studies, research and management of cultural heritage. It starts from an understanding of how national and international laws and regulations deal with document management. Then, it is part of a description and analysis of how reference institutions in the city of Rio de Janeiro, which hold the documentary heritage, manage their documentary heritage with a focus on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the digitalization of documents . Finally, we intend to contribute, through a theoretical framework, to the planning of the preservation of documentation in order to guarantee the preservation of UFRRJ's real estate.
