Abstract

The preservation of railway heritage in the State of São Paulo started at the end of 1960s with the beginning of the process of Bananal Rail Station. Between 1969 and 1984, part of this study, the Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico e Turístico (CONDEPHAAT), defense council of heritage, recognized nine railway heritages. Most of these protections consists only the departure and arrival buildings for passengers. The high number of recognized stations in the State is pointed as a nostalgic tendency and unitary treatment of the parts (RODRIGUES, 1994). For the authoress, there is no doubt that are relevant elements in memory compositions, however, little illustrative for technologic and economic importance of the railways. From these considerations, is our interest: what argument justified the protections of railway heritages in the period? To act in this problem we will take as study the heritage preservation of Perus Pirapora Railway case. Thereby, we have as goal comprehend the arguments for the valuation and conflicts present in this protection process, for then contribute with reflexions about the official practices in the railway heritage preservation in the State of São Paulo. Given the lack of definition for preservation in the period, we have the hyphotesis that the railway heritages were protected based on multiple interpretations and values. (AU)
