"IT'S THE TIME FOR EVERYONE TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE": MUSEALIZATION OF EXPERIENCES AND PRODUCTION OF CHILDREN'S MEMORIES DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC (BOM PASTOR MUNICIPAL SCHOOL, SÃO JOÃO DEL-REI)
Experience, Memory, Pandemic, Child-school-museum relationship,Museum fact.
This dissertation deals with the experiences and the construction of
memories by children in a pandemic time, based on the child-school-museum
relationship. It takes as an exemplary case the realization of the Memory Box
museum experience, developed with children from 05 to 10 years of age from
the Municipal School Bom Pastor, of the municipality of São João del-Rei. The
methodology employed, of a quantitative and qualitative nature, makes use of
document analysis (from sources produced by the school and by the Regional
Museum of São João del-Rei), questionnaires and interviews carried out with
the teachers and the material resulting from the museum experience Memory
Box (narratives, photographs, videos, drawings, an important collection
produced by the children themselves, who shared their experiences). As
theoretical contributions the concepts of memory were used (HALBWACHS,
1990); (LE GOFF, 2013), experience (LARROSA, 2014) and museum fact
(RÚSSIO, 1979). The results reveal that the child-school-museum relationship
is an important investment for the rights to education and culture to be
respected. And, especially, that children produced meanings and senses about
the pandemic, concluding that they are producers of memories.
