Por ser de lá: ecos e ritmos da história no antigo sertão carioca

Abstract

This dissertation engages with reflections on heritage education within history teaching, exploring the connection between these concepts from the perspective that “our classroom is the world”. In this context, it proposes the idea that field trips, structured to address local knowledge and raise awareness about cultural heritage dispersed across the 'sertão' of Rio and other suburbs, can be implemented and adapted by teachers interested in strengthening historical and heritage education. This study presents: a historical account linking the history of the Deozílio Pinto Band to the history of Pedra de Guaratiba, an analysis of the concept of heritage, and a reflection on the importance of heritage education for history teaching. The aim is to contribute new epistemologies to the debate on preserving the past and strengthening local identities in a time when historical knowledge and memories are frequently relativized through the political uses of the past.
