The aim of this book is to take a fresh look at public policies on historical and cultural heritage, which are currently the topic of much discussion both in academic circles and among a wider public. Brazil was one of the pioneering countries in Latin America in the development of policies on the preservation of historical and cultural heritage and serves as a model for other countries that are now starting to take an interest in preserving their cultural heritage. Anthropological knowledge is constructed on the basis of empirical data obtained during one stage of the research. The research data is analysed using theories from this field of knowledge, while knowledge of a specific type is produced from the encounter between theory and practice. Based on particular aspects, anthropological knowledge can serve to illuminate questions that are more general and can be applied to thinking on problems from different social contexts. Although the knowledge produced here stems from a local reality, it does not only refer to those who live in that area. The processes and practices learned in the field may serve to develop models of interpretation that tend to be more general. Comprehension of the universal illuminates knowledge of a particular reality, or as Bourdieu put it, “the deepest logic of the social world can be grasped only if one plunges into the particularity of an empirical reality, historically located and dated.” This book is an updated version of a research project conducted in Porto Alegre in southern Brazil between 2002 and 2004. It was initially presented as a Master’s thesis in social anthropology at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, where it was awarded the highest possible grade in 2004. It also received an honourable mention in the 2005 Silvio Romero Competition on Theses on Popular Culture, which is sponsored by the National Centre of Popular Culture and the Brazilian Ministry of Culture. Parts of the project were presented and debated in the following years at international anthropology congresses in Brazil, India and South Africa. In order to achieve my objectives, I decided to divide the questions to be explored into two parts. The first part (chapters 1 to 6) consists of a more general summary of the question of historical and cultural heritage in Brazil. I will present a general review of public heritage policies and try to identify the context of the emergence of this concept as we currently know it. I will then discuss the historical context in which the search to identify national historical heritage began to make sense, that is, at the time when the construction of national identity became associated with the modernisation of Brazil. I do not approach modernity as an historical period, but rather as a set of values and practices that influenced the way of perceiving the world and representing oneself in it. Baudelaire’s vision of this point provides a fitting poetic illustration of the proposed viewpoint. However, in tackling the question of modernity and modernism, a debate arises in which the modern and post-modern, or the modernists and post-modernists, clash. I thought it pertinent to describe part of this debate, which forms part of the context of anthropological theory as a concern that remains topical and present in relevant reflections on academic literature on the way we live today. Apart from contextualising the emergence of policies on preserving heritage in Brazil, the more general social context in which such concerns feature on the agenda is important. The context of late modernity, which introduces the debate on modernity or post-modernity, is articulated in the new perceptions of the globalised world, leading to a dialogue between the global and local levels. This dynamic between the global and the local is constantly present, both as a working method in the relationship between the universal and the particular, and in the actual policies on preserving heritage, whose

As an outcome of the First Heritage International Symposium, this unique book explores a variety of heritage dialogues, pursuing global and specific approaches, and combining different views, perceptions and senses.

Who decides which stories about a city are remembered? How do interpretations of the past shape a city’s present and future? In this book, Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos discusses notions of power and national identity by examining how nation-states negotiate the preservation of urban spaces and how a city interprets, resists, and consents to the functions and meanings that it has inherited and that it reinvents for itself. Looking at the Brazilian city of Ouro Preto, de Souza Santos applies fine-grained ethnography and historical analysis to discuss the limits of Brazil’s imagery of social harmony and participatory democracy amid continuous inequality.

With Brazil’s largest concentration of historic landmarks and famous landscapes, Rio de Janeiro’s passionate heritage debates have helped to define both the city and the country. Taking a critical preservationist stance, Brian Godfrey explores how historic designation and urban rebranding have shaped Rio’s distinctive sense of place. Official heritage programs date from the 1930s, when federal authorities centralized power and promoted nationalism. The city began a heritage-based strategy of urban revitalization and rebranding in the 1980s––the “Cultural Corridor” of historic places downtown. Subsequent rediscovery of the old “Little Africa” district and continuing struggles of favela communities have emphasized narratives of “counter-memory” against racism, social injustice, and governmental neglect. Meanwhile environmental activism has encouraged programs to conserve the historic landscapes of Rio’s famous mountains, forests, beaches, and bays. While historic preservation often presumes to conserve or restore heritage sites according to a preexisting authenticity, Godfrey shows how the past actually becomes a resource for present-day interests. Memory brokers have guided the reinvention of historic places, determining whose past has been preserved. Debates over the “right of remembrance,” he argues, shape place memories and identities in this spectacular if highly unequal megacity, which has much to teach the world about conserving cultural diversity and urban environments.

This book presents studies on the management of the Brazilian world heritage and its international counterparts, relating its preservationist practices to the risks and alerts that run its maintenance in the face of so many challenges in the contemporary world. The book has encouraged scholars from a wide variety of disciplines to contribute their valuable knowledge to research on the management and risks of Brazil's world heritage. It is a bold initiative that brings together contemporary studies on management, alerts and risks of the Brazilian world heritage and some international examples. It stands out not only for its interdisciplinary approach, but above all for compiling a wide range of approaches that analyze various dimensions of world heritage management. Unique experience in the management of world heritage allocated to Brazilian territory, this book was written by prominent academics and heritage management professionals and includes national and international case studies. It is a comprehensive academic book in Brazilian world heritage management literature and can therefore be used as an authoritative reference source as well as a significant teaching tool.

Brazil's Cultura Viva (Living Culture) programme has been one of the most innovative, wide-reaching and long-lasting achievements of President Lula's 2003-10 government. Carried forward by Celio Turino, Secretary of Cultural Citizenship, it brought into being the Pontos de Cultura: points, places and practices of culture - points of life, points where the people have been 'de-silenced'. Cultura Viva is innovative not just because it has found ways to recognise and fund artistic activities that previously existed outside of public funding mechanisms, but for the way in which it creates bridges and networks between cultural and social initiatives. It is in the veins between the nation's 'vital points' that the programme finds its strengths. 'When Brazilian Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil invited Celio Turino to develop a programme of democratisation and access to culture, he could hardly have imagined the extraordinary initiatives that today cross Brazil from end to end, from the desert to the sea, from Amazonia to the grasslands. - The Pontos de Cultura have provided the means through which the multiple voices of a diverse nation can find expression in music, literature, poetry. - Turino's book is a map of living Brazilian Popular Culture, disseminated over every corner of a country that is finally seeking to be a country for everyone.' Emir Sader The growing interest in Brazil's transformational cultural policies and practices has led to a knowledge-exchange programme with the UK, Points of Contact, inspired by Cultura Viva and produced by People's Palace Projects in partnership with Arts Council England, the British Council and Brazil's Ministry of Culture. The programme is described in the final section of this book.
