Abstract

This lecture followed by a debate concerns popular movements, in particular those which the author describes as libertarian, emerging in the city of São Paulo in the late 1970s and early 80s. It focuses on the building of memory, its relevance in creating a sense of identity and of community, and the issue of political participation. The latter was one of the mottos during the democratization of relations between society and the State in Brazil, following the years of military rule, as well as being a major challenge to the creation and development of cultural policies in the country and, among them, those relating to cultural heritage.Esta palestra seguida de debate se refere aos movimentos populares, em especial aos que a autora qualifica de libertários, emergentes na cidade de em São Paulo no final dos anos 1970 e início dos 80. São focalizadas a construção da memória, sua importância para a formação de sentidos de identidade e de comunidade e a questão da participação política. Esta última foi uma das principais palavras de ordem na democratização das relações entre a sociedade e o estado no Brasil após o regime militar, e um desafio importante à criação e desenvolvimento de políticas culturais no país e, entre elas, as relativas ao patrimônio cultural.
