Museologia social: a relação museu-comunidade a partir de vozes que construíram e constroem o Complexo Cultural e Científico de Peirópolis

Abstract

The importance of museums as an institution that acts in society, values different memories, articulates different practices and actions for social, cultural and educational development has been gradually implemented in museum institutions. Within this context, the community, especially the neighborhood, have a leading role in participating in the actions and processes of museums, in sharing a territory, in addition to the sociability, experiences, identities, local development of a community that directly influences the presence of the museum and vice-versa. The aim of this research is to investigate the memories and perceptions of Peirópolis residents about the Centro Cultural e Científico de Peirópolis, recording their views and concerns regarding the space-community relationship. The theoretical framework used was based on the discussions of social museology, and more specifically museum - community relationship. Regarding the methodology of research and analysis, we used the premises of oral history for the construction of narratives, built with participants who have distant trajectories with the CCCP, being residents of the community and UFTM server. Finally, these narratives were interpreted from dimensions of analysis built a priori to achieve the objective of this study, namely: cultural aspect and historical rescue; feeling of (in) (ex) inclusion and participatory empowerment; and future perspectives. It appears from the work that sharing territory involves issues of belonging, struggles, tensions, disputes for space, ties of affection, other stories and memories, often silenced, however, important to understand the museum as a space for valuing different knowledge, development of criticality and agent of social transformation.
