Abstract

This paper aims to draw some considerations about urban memory and its permanent construction, from the perspective of the search for a unique thought. Assuming that the product of cultural sovereignty's development is the civic inequality, considering the city of Florianópolis, one can perceive the dissimilarity between the Luso-Azorean image that the city sells, and the heterogeneous and multicultural space that is experienced daily on the footpath of the Historic Center. Between the capital and social, tradition and resignification, a look at the indigenous presence during the sale of handicrafts, highlights the contrasts between memory, identity, and sociability in the public space, demanding the questioning of this memory that is built under pillars of exclusion.
