Fazenda Ibicaba - Corderópolis-SP a construção do lugar de memória (1996-2020)

Abstract

Places with historical memories have been increasingly used by the population as a way to have knowledge and even return to the past. The historical farms, especially the Ibicaba Farm, founded in the 19th century in Cordeirópolis City, located in the São Paulo state, reproduces a work of property conservation and heritage education. For this reason, the purpose of this research analyzes how the work is done by the owner of Ibicaba and what problems he faces in order to conciliate sustainable development with the preservation of this asset. Therefore, our analysis is about the narratives that involve the process of turning the farm into a heritage property and the reasons why there is no legal support, such as the registration of this heritage property. This research still works with the narrative presented by the owners of the farm on their website and official Instagram along with images that contribute to the understanding of the ways to transpose knowledge in order to preserve the memory contained in the farm. Even with the work done by the farm to bring students to visit the place, it doesn’t maintain local maintenance, being necessary to use other means for the Ibicaba farm remains open to the public. However, a broader work of heritage education, aimed at other groups may be an initiative that could increase the income and make the farm even less likely to be a heritage asset, with legal support and being supervised as a way of encouraging the project.
