Dissertação (Mestrado em Antropologia Social)–Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2014.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/4216This work aims at presenting ethnographically called historic center of São Luís - Maranhão, World Heritage since 1997. Anthropology focuses on this category showing the region delimited as the historical center from multiple possibilities of understanding. The city has an ancient urban layout with a core of civil architecture from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, whose characteristics, mostly from colonial origin, were maintained: irregular urban layout, churches, houses, properties of domestic and commercial use. To IPHAN the brand's historic center is the maintenance of urban layout and the preservation of "mansions". For people who live transit and appropriate other issues relate to the conflict marked by heritage. In this place, are direct relationships with property issues on which we can realize appropriations, senses of places, sociability. On the other hand, the memories lead to understanding of a plural place, thus the DIY category is used as a tool to make sense of the present experiences of place in the historic center. Also apprehends the idea of a polyphonic place through the list of names given by the speakers: Praia Grande, Revive and historic center. These categories are used to show that the place used, subverted and even recollected, too, is one of places, a polyphonic discourse.application/pdfAcesso AbertoCentro históricoSão LuísBricolagemPolifoniaHistorical centerBricolageCIENCIAS HUMANAS::ANTROPOLOGIADissertação
