Narrativas preservacionistas na cidade: a trajetória da defesa do patrimônio histórico de Juiz de Fora através de manifestações populares na década de 1980

Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the popular movements that occurred in Juiz de Fora to preserve its historical and cultural heritage, especially those of the 1980s, when such events were more intense, watching the process of political liberalization and social that Brazil spent with the final years of military dictatorship. From the concepts of "memory", "place of memory", "collective forgetfulness" and "social amnesia" we will discuss such motions separating them from now on those who could not get the preservations so expected (cases of Stella Matutina College, its Chapel and Bishop's House) and those who have succeeded in their intent (such as the building of the former Textile Company Bernardo Mascarenhas and the Cine-Teatro Central). From these movements will also try to understand why these properties in particular aroused feelings in the people who made them fight for its preservation. We will also look back on the preservation in the city, linking it to the changes undergone in the national perception as well as with the development of an institutional framework and legal site.
