| Abstract | |
This research deals with the insertion of São João del-Rei´s city, in Minas Gerais, in the process of national identity\'s construction through the action of the National Artistic and Historic Patrimony (SPHAN). The conflicts involving a reminiscent house from the 19th century - owned by the Commendator João Antônio da Silva Mourão, disputed in one side by a local company, (the improvement state company - Companhia Interestadual de Melhoramentos e Obras S.A. - CIMOSA) and in the other side by the SPHAN - are analyzed. This way, a retrocession in order to find the city\'s way of representation is proposed: first, that one built and maintained during the first half of the XX century by agents capable of interfering on its urban space, in a progressive perspective. Then, the representations of brazilian modernists who got involved in the construction process of a national identity based in the past - in a period that comprehends the journey of \"Brazil\'s (re) discovery\" in 1924, until the foundation of SPHAN, in 1937 - are investigated. From that period on, there is a confrontation between these representations and interests - progressists and preservationists - which culminates with the creation of São João del-Rei\'s Regional Museum, managed by SPHAN.
