Patrimônio material no Ensino de História: o caso do Solar do Barão de Santarém

Abstract

The relationship between material heritage and society can be established through the knowledge and recognition of historical spaces as bearers of a collective memory, and the practice of Heritage Education in the school environment is pointed outas an efficient mean to carry out this mediation between the community and the local cultural goods. In this sense, this text aims to demonstrate the informative potential of historical buildings and their use for teaching History, taking as an example the case of Solar do Barão de Santarém. Pierre Nora's concept of memory (1993) is considered, which states that these places keep the memory of their time through their architectural features. For the construction of this text, a bibliographical research wascarried out on the Solar do Barão in Estefany Couto (2013), Nelson Papavero and William L. Overal (2011). Primary sources such as newspapers and photographic records were analyzed, in addition to a visit to the Solar do Barão, in which the photographic material of the mansion present in this work was produced. The didactic use of historic mansions contributes to the appreciation of local history and the formation of historical awareness, making the learning process more dynamic and enabling students to learn about general aspects of the mandatory subject while studying History itself.
