The preservation of historic buildings allows a memorial synthesis of lived history as
well as transmits facts in its structures and contributes to the creative and cultural
sense of future generations. The conservation of these buildings makes the collective
memory always present and gives to society a sense of belonging to that place. The
place where the research was carried out is the historic Centre of Santarém, a city
located in the west of the State of Pará. It was founded in the 17th century on the banks
of the Tapajós River just at the encounter with the Amazon River. The scientific
question that guided our research was: Are the reconstitution of the social memory and
the carrying out of the inventory necessary contributions to the preservation and
safeguard of the built heritage assets? On consideration to this question, we adopted
as main objective the discussion of the Santarem individual's relationship with cultural
heritage from the understanding of individual memory. In addition, the specific
objectives were: a) to identify the historical, architectural and cultural heritage in the
area locus of the research; b) to analyse how Santarém society develops its practices
of preservation of its architectural heritage; c) rescue memories by building the history
of the built heritage of the historic Centre of Santarém; and d) inventory of selected
buildings from the point of view of the interviewees. The research has a predominantly
qualitative nature and approached in the form of narratives and oral history, whose
choice is justified by the possibility of a collective reading of local history, and how the
built heritage manifests this history. The proposal is to achieve a greater understanding
of the architectural history of the geographical area that was the object of our study.
We also propose a documentary and inventory corpus of local historical heritage that
contributes to the knowledge of the architectural heritage of Santarém and the Amazon
region. It enables reflections on the need for its preservation in the city of Santarém.
The sample recorded in the narratives of local residents confirmed that the identity and
sense of belonging of each one is intrinsically linked to affective memory and
experience related to places and heritage assets. The report of these transformations
brings to light the feeling of loss and sadness for the destruction of material goods and
the mischaracterization of the historic Centre of Santarém. According to the
interviewees, mischaracterization is directly related to the lack of care by local
authorities, but also by the citizens themselves. The interviewees considered important
the maintenance of the heritage because they relate it directly with the identity of each
one (individually) and with the maintenance of the history of the city (collectively).
Maintaining heritage and adapting it to urban development and growth is possible as
long as there is a sustainable organization with legal instruments, environmental
education as well as the involvement and commitment of society as a whole. |
