Lugares e memórias: patrimônios afetivos de Morro Redondo- RS

Abstract

This master study named as Places of Memory: Affective Patrimony of Morro Redondo-RS, was developed in the Graduate Program of Social Memory and Cultural Patrimony of the Federal University of Pelotas. This work started from the premise that the properties of a city go beyond legal and institutional issues, because their real values are their meanings. Therefore, in a city where does not exist institutionalized patrimony, represented by material things, the patrimony is seen by the optic of affections. Memories of old people experiences, full of affection, are anchored in places, leaving them more human and closer to individuals. The main objective of this research was to identify the Affective Patrimony of the city of Morro Redondo-RS, in the view of the elderly. The narratives of the individuals indicate places of memory that they consider patrimony, however, not seen by the scope of the consecrated heritage that we know, but by the affectivity that these places awaken in the subjects. We designated these references as Affective Patrimony. In methodological terms, this research is configured as qualitative and framed in social research. It was accomplished interviews and reports to obtain the results of the research. Then, we seek to discuss the delimitation of a possible concept of affective patrimony and its theoretical developments, and finally, we presented empirical developments of the affective patrimonies that were identified.
