Abstract

The future of work is a topic in the current world conjuncture. From the flexibilization of contracts to the organization of informal workers, the centrality of the issue is evident. The theme composes economic and social agendas, but the invisibility of the worker as part of neoliberal policy seems to justify the reduction of its cultural value. Therefore, this research aims to understand what constitutes the work1s heritage in the light of reflections on its representations for social subjects, as well as for the official heritage institutions that operate in the state of São Paulo. It establishes as object of analysis three cultural heritages located in São Paulo: the Brasital factory and workers former residences in São Roque, listed by Condephaat; Companhia Nitro Química Brasileira, listed by Conpresp; and the 1o de Maio Stadium, in the process of being listed by Iphan. Such choices are based on a broad conception of the worker\'s heritage, involving work, housing, leisure and struggle. Its periods of analysis are the 1980s and 2000s, understood as moments in which the field of heritage was able to move towards conceptual expansion and democratization of preservation practices. The development of the research was based on themes of cultural heritage in the three Brazilian instances, on the social history of work, and on the historiography of architecture focused on the theme of work; specific bibliographic research for each case; technical visits; listing processes, and interviews with researchers, social subjects, and heritage technicians involved with the study dossiers, with the listing processes, or whose life trajectories were crossed by the existence of the analyzed objects. Themes such as industrial heritage, heritage as collective right and private property, place of memory and museums composes the analysis. (AU)
