Patrimônio cultural, espaço público e os seus modos de usar: o caso do Conjunto Paisagístico do Sítio da Trindade

Abstract

The research set of Sítio da Trindade, located in the northern part of the city of Recife, State of Pernambuco, a cultural asset listed by IPHAN and administered by the Municipality of Recife, is the object of this research. From Sítio da Trindade we seek as a general objective, to identify possible conflicts between the institutional determinations of its classification as a patrimonial good and the consequences of the uses and socio-spatial practices developed therein. Specifically, we seek to discuss how the historical events that took place there, originally being the place where the Arraial do Bom Jesus Fort was built, in the 17th century, passing through the creation of the Popular Culture Movement, in the 1960s, where it housed its headquarters, until the archaeological discovery of the original moat of the Fort - transformed the place over time, culminating in its constitution as a space for demarcated cyclical events and occasional festivities. In other words, we seek to understand the dual function of Sítio da Trindade, as a heritage asset and as a public space. Thus, this research was developed within the field of Cultural History, where we discussed, therefore, materiality and immateriality based on the concepts of Heritage, Cultural Property, Memory and Public Space and, therefore, the implications of these concepts when we analyze what way the cultural heritage asset, made public space is being used and the urban impacts it causes today.
