The main research subjects of this dissertation are the relations between tourism and cultural heritage in setting discourses about time and the representations on a Cariri region cultural identity. The objective of this work is to analyse the touristic uses of cultural heritage aiming to the social and economic development of Cariri region at the beginning of 21st century. Starting in the 2000s, one notes that the patrimonialising processes engendered in Cariri were bound to projects of future that mobilized the cultural assets as touristic resources, putting them in temporal paces that sometimes drawn close to the past, associated to tradition, sometimes reaching to the future, associated with some aspects of the market integration of cultural heritage. This movement corresponded to social processes that singularized the present by means of deliberate strategies on the fabrication of traditions and the invention of practices and cultural values on which it was set as relevant in the elaboration of a sense of belonging. Developed from a group of documents â which embraces journals from the press, tourist guides and leaflets, reports of work, development projects from touristic sector, and others â, the issues on this work converge with the discussions carried out by Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisa em PatrimÃnio e MemÃria â GEPPM/UFC/CNPq, to which this research is associated. It aims to contribute to the debate related to the field of cultural heritage in Brazil.
