Abstract

This dissertation is theoretically inserted in the debates about memory, cultural patrimony, discourse, tourism, intersectionality and Afro-Brazilian culture. It presents as an empirical clipping and an analysis about the Tourist Itineraries presented in the city of Penedo / AL. Thus, the general objective of the research is to analyze the discourses about Afro-Brazilian memory in these tourist itineraries. For this, it was necessary to: inventory the discourses that are produced about the black people in the itineraries and the museums that are part of them; reflect over the memory and forgetfulness in reference the contribution of Afro-Brazilians in Penedo/ AL; to identify the relations of power in the discourses reproduced from the narratives of the city; discuss the presence of the black woman in these discourses from intersectionality; and, to elaborate an innovative methodological proposal, focused on the Analysis of Tourist Itineraries, combining different methods. The principal results in the research showed that, in some tourist itineraries of Penedo, the afro memory of black men is evidenced; however, regarding black women's afro memory, the silencing remains. The results also indicate for the potential of tourist itineraries as a discursive resistance, aiming their dynamicity that enables a constant updating with the inclusion of social minorities, in comparison to traditional methods of narrating the past, such as books and museums.
