Itinerários e visões da cidade: cenários educativos no museu regional do sul de minas gerais

Abstract

This text presents data of educational actions carried out in 2015 at the Regional Museum of the South of Minas Gerais in the city of Campanha. It is a project developed in the course of History of the UEMG entitled Itineraries and Visions of the City: Education for the Heritage in Relation with the Visual Narratives of History. We present one of the actions of the project developed with students of basic education in the museum environment in which we debate the interpretation of history through material culture. Through the exhibition of the museum, students and professors re-signified their vision of history in relation to memory and potentiated the discussion about the public narrative of the history of the city proposed in the museum. As a methodology, mediated visits were made to the museum and to goods found in urban space; Semistructured interviews with teachers of the Dom Othon Motta Municipal School; Consultation with the city's database; Research on memorialists of Campanha / MG. According to the teachers the museum proved to be a potent space for discussion of the history of the city. The students, in turn, empathically approached regional history in the interpretation of the visual narrative proposed by the museum. With this research we understand the learning potential of history in the work with threads of memory woven by symbolic disputes, in which are present gestures of forgetfulness, exercises of recollection and educational intentionalities.
