Um olhar sobre o patrimônio cultural cuiabano : análise dos monumentos e estátuas femininas que perpetuam a memória da capital

Abstract

Since the Cuiabana media has an immense cultural arsenal that is little explored, especially when we refer to past knowledge and women who contributed to perpetuating the city's memory. Much is known about male achievements, but what about female representations of Mato Grosso history? Why are these stories currently made invisible, given that a large part of Cuiabá's cultural context was traced by major female and black representations? This work aims to understand how digital cultural journalism portrays historical female statues in the city of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso. And also, how this journalism contributes to maintaining a sexist view of the figures represented through its publications. We seek to understand how the media conveys information about women who have statues or monuments in their honor, the social context in which they were inserted at the time, their body type and, thus, draw a line between the experiences and how the dissemination or The erasure of these stories affects society and culture today. To do this, we analyzed, through content analysis, approximately 41 websites and 86 articles and the way in which the regional media published their stories to the population. Furthermore, we observe how the historical representation of these women affects the present day and the way of doing journalism. Furthermore, we debate important issues such as the recovery of cultural memory, minorities, digital media and cultural journalism and the difficulty of “being a woman” in today's society.
