Resumen

En este artículo se intenta deconstruir la disyunción entre historia y patrimonio en un barrio brasileño que ha pasado de ser centro de la capital del Brasil colonial a barrio marginal, y finalmente a ser rebautizado como Patrimonio de la Humanidad al cierre del siglo XX. Con esta acción, las luchas de generaciones pasadas han sido redenominadas bajo el término de patrimonio cultural en el que el mito de la democracia racial se naturaliza en las superficies urbanas, y que sirve para ocultar las tensiones raciales justo debajo de la superficie del paisaje urbano. Así, en primer lugar, se problematizará la relación contradictoria entre la historia y el patrimonio, para luego analizar la denominación del Pelourinho (San Salvador de Bahia) como Patrimonio Mundial. Se concluirá con una exploración de la forma en que la fusión de la historia y el patrimonio recrea el mito de la democracia racial en el paisaje urbano.
