Queijo artesanal de minas – patrimônio, memória e identidade: o discurso do dossiê/IPHAN

Abstract

n this research, we propose to understand the discursive functioning of the document entitled Dossier / IPHAN of Minas Cheese Handmade as Cultural Heritage, considering the historicity of the discourse(s) on the conditions of cheese production in this region, as a cultural historical heritage, analyzing the discourse, which deals with historical heritage in the State of Minas Gerais. We also propose to understand how the subject producing this cheese, in the face of the act of making it, subjectivates / recognizes themselves and is subjectivated / is recognized from the Dossier. Our thesis is affiliated with the Discourse Analysis theory according to Michel Pêcheux and Eni P. Orlandi, from which we mobilize fundamental concepts such as discourse, historicity, discursive memory, production conditions, among others, for, in a come-and-go movement throughout our reading archive, we analyze the Dossier / IPHAN of Minas Cheese Handmade, in relation to other materials such as news from the media, images of the Dossier itself, laws on patrimonialization, to understand the discursive functioning of the sayings about making Minas cheese meaning as a cultural historical heritage of Brazil. The research hypothesis is that the present Dossiê / IPHAN document of the Minas Gerais Cheese Handmade, despite bringing in its discourse strong marks of memory and cultural identity of the people of Minas Gerais (more specifically of the Canastra Mountain region) meaning them as another record of this subject and his making, fails to ignore the historical movement that constitutes them and does not immobilize them. As a result, we conclude that the effects of meaning produced by the document cause a tension between the duty / power to be patrimonialized and the impossibility of doing so, since the functioning of memory about the Minas cheese, its making and the subject that produces it in its doing it is updated and / or transformed at every moment of its journey in history.
