RESUMO:

This research aims to understand the educational action developed by the coachmen
(carriage drivers) in the city of Tiradentes, in the state of Minas Gerais, as well as to make sense
of their life experiences and how those experiences are represented in the narratives and in the
stories they tell the tourists, while conducting them through the city streets.
Socio-cultural questionnaires; direct observation of the coachmen activities at the tourist
sites; and carriage rides were used to draw the group profile throughout this research.
Moreover, in order to reconstruct the life histories of the coachmen, interviews were conducted
using the framework provided by the Oral History Approach, always searching for the
comprehension of the testimonies within the historical and cultural context of the city.
The coachmen are officially considered by a local law, Intangible Heritage of the city.
It was possible to observe that this group is formed greatly by men, whose education level is
concentrated in Middle School; they have the habit of visiting museums; and they recognize
themselves as heritage of the city. Their narratives focus on the following themes: History of
the city of Tiradentes and its occupation during the gold era; the Material Heritage (or “made
of stone and whitewash”, present in the listed architectural ensemble); Intangible Cultural
Heritage (legends, traditions, religious rituals, and humanity), Characters who were considered
important who lived there and their achievements; the political movement known as
“Inconfidência Mineira”; and some aspects related to slavery.
The city of Tiradentes is the place they spent their childhood and, also, where they live
and work. It is in this city where their memories, feelings and affections are. Their narratives
draw on the experiences they lived in the city; on the oral stories told and shared by their family;
on the formal education they received at school and from the course books; on the conversations
they had with colleagues working on the same job; on the religiosity; and on their traditions.
This way, each coachman or coachwoman interviewed shows his/her own version of the
history; the representation of what is meaningful and makes sense for them, but meanwhile,
there is a collective memory of the city that is narrated throughout the carriage rides.
