UEFS sertão house museum

multi referential learning space on the baian backland portal

Abstract

The region known as Portal do Sertão is located in a transition between the forest area and the Baian sertão, where riches and diversities come together, resulting from the meeting of people and stories representing the imagination of “the sertanejo being”, reflecting a diverse cultural scene in which there are individual, community initiatives and public facilities such as cultural centers, museums and open spaces that aim to meet the demands for training, culture, leisure and heritage. This qualitative approach proposal aims to analyze, in a reflective panorama, facts, references and personalities that permeate the Feira heritage scene, focusing on the Casa do Sertão Museum of the State University of Feira de Santana (Uefs). Among its results is the perception of this as a multi-referential space for learning and disseminating country aesthetics and culture. The proposal also presents a conceptual approach to memory from the perspective of thinkers such as Aleida Assman and her bias towards cultural memory and that of place of memory by Pierre Nora, to link them to the reading of the idealization of Feira's museum spaces and the consolidation of the progressive and civilized city itself, a walk through local history in moments such as the modernist movement and the military dictatorship.
