Educação patrimonial no programa "Mais Educação": políticas, sentidos e intencionalidades

Abstract

This paper analyses meanings given to Heritage Education in Brazilian schooling policies. For this, we will study how the subject was introduced in the programme Mais Educação, looking at the document Guia Básico de Educação Patrimonial by Maria de Lourdes Parreiras Horta designed for the workshop of the programme and the presentation text for the mentioned program. So we will examine the concept heritage and how it is historically structured until today to analyse its articulation with political productions in the field of heritage education. With this conceptual and political analysis we begin a documental study aiming at identifying intentions and meanings given to the heritage education by the referred documents where the following analysis categories were listed: Recognition and Inclusion, Identity and Belonging, and Education and Citizenship. Finally we have noted that heritage education, its concepts and particular political productions satisfy historical demands of every social, economic and historical context.
