Memória e identidade através dos objetos: o caso da Faculdade de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal de Pelotas.

Abstract

The aim of the developed research was to understand the way in which material culture can contribute for the construction of memory and identity of a particular group. Thus, the group studied was the School of Nursing from the Federal University of Pelotas. The choice of researching this group was given by the willingness of memory that it presents, be it through preserving their documents, photos and objects or through celebrations of festive dates, when they expose the representative objects of their history and memory. Therefore, through discussions based on authors who talk about memory, identity and material culture themes, it was possible to trace their relations. Furthermore, seeking to study these objects through the perspectives of museology, to propose models for their extroversion, thought through the concept of Musealization, so that it can be applied to other university units that demonstrate the same willingness of memory.
