Entre rastros e fragmentos: um estudo de cinco salas de cinema do Centro Antigo de Salvador

Abstract

Utilizing bibliographical research and images as foundations to understand the changes of five movie theaters in the old Historical District of Salvador, this research brings, through the study of the records of the memories of these spaces and its interaction with ephemerality, loss, preservation and changes that accompany the social and cultural dynamics of the city, bringing thus, an essay about an area that is constantly changing, questioning the station of heritage and legacy. To bring the objects to life, the figure of speech "personification" was used, inspired by the work "O Cortiço", by writer Aluísio Azevedo; to understand legacy, the guidebook "Conceitos-chave de Museologia" was worked upon, allowing the concept of complete disappearance, that is,the death of these spaces. This work was inspired by the book "A morte e a morte de Quincas Berro d'Água", by writer Jorge Amado, in order to invoke the deaths of physicality and status to define how they are currently framed.
