Esta dissertação analisa criticamente os processos de valorização do patrimônio cultural português na contemporaneidade, com foco especial na construção narrativa sobre a escravização e a marginalização de indivíduos africanos e ameríndios durante o período colonial. A pesquisa parte da constatação empírica de tensões nas narrativas museais em Lisboa, onde se observa a persistência de discursos cristalizados no passado e pouco permeáveis às questões éticas que têm sido globalmente relevantes desde o início do século XXI. O objetivo central consiste em problematizar os mecanismos de seleção, representação e institucionalização que, ao exaltar a epopeia nacional, silenciam os traumas e legados do colonialismo, contribuindo para a reprodução de hierarquizações sociais e para a exclusão histórica de grupos subalternizados. A metodologia adotada combina uma revisão bibliográfica a respeito da valorização do patrimônio cultural, orientada pela ótica decolonial das memórias institucionalizadas nos museus, com uma pesquisa de campo composta por visitas livres e orientadas a museus. Esse processo de trabalho deu origem a uma análise crítica de cinco exposições permanentes ou de longa-duração em instituições da capital portuguesa, exemplificando avanços e limitações na incorporação de narrativas anticoloniais e antirracistas nas práticas museológicas. Os resultados evidenciam a necessidade de estratégias discursivas que reavaliem e ampliem o espectro interpretativo das exposições, reconhecendo os legados da escravatura e promovendo uma memória coletiva mais plural, justa e representativa. Esse esforço revela-se fundamental para a constituição de uma sociedade verdadeiramente democrática, devendo os museus assumir um papel ativo e crítico na produção e disseminação de conhecimento histórico.
This dissertation critically analyses the processes of valuation of Portuguese cultural heritage in contemporary times, with a particular focus on the narrative construction concerning the enslavement and marginalization of African and Brazilian individuais during the colonial period. The research departs from the empirical observation of tensions within museum narratives in Lisbon, where the persistence of discourses crystallized in the past and little influenced by the ethical issues globally relevant to the twenty-first century is evident. The central objective is to problematize the mechanisms of selection, representation, and institutionalization that, by exalting the national epic history, silence the traumas and legacies of colonialism, thus contributing to the reproduction of social hierarchies and the historical exclusion of subalternized groups. The methodology adopted combines a bibliographical rev1ew regarding the valuation of cultural heritage, guided by a decolonial perspective on institutionalized memories in museums, with field research involving both autonomous and guided visits to museums. This work process resulted in a criticai analysis of five permanent or longterm exhibitions at institutions in the Portuguese capital, illustrating advancements and limitations in the incorporation of anticolonial and antiracist narratives in museum practices. The results highlight the need for discursive strategies that reassess and broaden the interpretative spectrum of exhibitions, acknowledging the legacies of slavery and promoting a more plural, just, and representative collective memory. This effort is fundamental for the formation of a truly democratic society, with museums assuming an active and criticai role in the production and dissemination of historical knowledge.
