A goianidade representada na identidade cultural, memória e patrimônio Vilaboense

Abstract

Goiás enters history as Minas dos Goyazes in 1722. Its capital, the City of Goiás, emerged as Arraial de Sant’Anna in 1726 and remained the capital of the state of Goiás until the 1930s with the transfer of the capital to Goiânia. To understand the terms “Goianice” and “Goianidade” that define the cultural identity of Goiás, we highlight the gold decline and the advance of livestock farming, which resulted in a process of ruralization that favored interiorization and a situation of isolation in Goiás, inaugurating the “Goianice” symbol of “delay”. It was only in the 1930s that an attempt was made to reconstruct and reverse the image of Goiás and its subjects through a modern face with the city of Goiânia and the arrival of iron rails, which can be seen as an attempt to insert the region in the construction of the nation. which we call “Goianidade”. In addition to the Revolution of 1930, the elevation of Goyaz to a Historical Monument in 1942 helped the Vilaboenses to gain value in Goiás society. Encouraging the preservation of tradition involves initiatives to create places of Memory in Goianos. Places of memory emerge to create an idea of ​​belonging, memory ends up establishing a “bond” between human generations. New interpretations of the past can emerge, and previously forgotten events can be rediscovered and reinterpreted through memory, heritage and cultural identity.
