USOS PÚBLICOS DA HISTÓRIA, PATRIMÔNIO E MEMÓRIA: CANTANDO HINOS, ENSINANDO A HEGEMONIA OU O BANDEIRANTE ‘NOSSO’ DE CADA DIA

Abstract

This article discusses the celebrations of Civic Dates as part of the Nation project built since the 19th century in Brazil and how they are present in the National territory in its different regions. Therefore, we problematize the Anthems (the National Anthem and those of the state of Goiás) as feeders of the conception of History that this project encompasses. The proposal is, therefore, to investigate the lyrics of the Anthems and how they have been reinforcing the idea of a hegemonic History that reiterates that the Paulista Flags and the Bandeirantes are important characters for the progress of the country. Against this prevailing idea, this article invites the reader to analyze the lyrics, often overshadowed by the emotion that is constituted in moments of celebration. Finally, it is seen that this way of seeing History is hegemonically appropriated as Heritage and, based on this, it has been using civic celebrations and their Anthems to maintain the logic that excludes and does not consider that History is made in a process, in social relations, where power relations are produced. The public history produced in civic celebrations and stimulated by the Anthems is a discussion about "what Heritage we have and what uses we are making of history".
