Resumo
É nos lugares de memória que mais nos encontramos connosco próprios, porque se entendem como sendo espaços que convidam as pessoas à reflexão, e onde a memória assume o seu carácter pedagógico, pois temos a capacidade de aprender com os erros do passado para que eles não sejam reproduzidos no futuro. São lugares em que cada geração procura o conhecimento; e, é neles que se adicionam os progressos obtidos. Por esta razão, cada monumento é um património cultural, insubstituível e único, cuja preservação e gestão garantem que as memórias individuais e colectivas não se perdem, antes se mantêm disponíveis de geração em geração, desempenhando um papel de sedimento da cultura e de comunhão de gerações que não pode ser menorizado na evolução da sociedade. Perante qualquer monumento, como este antigo convento de Chelas, o que nos vem à cabeça não é tanto saber o uso social que agora existe ou venha a ter, mas sim qual foi e o que teve ao longo da sua antiga existência. É a história que estas paredes testemunharam que nos encanta e nos dá uma sensação de paz e de conforto, de pertença a uma comunidade que já cá estava antes de nós. Hoje pisamos as mesmas lajes do claustro e, amanhã, forçosamente, continuarse- á a acrescentar história à história deste lugar e desta cidade, pelo que é indispensável sustentar sempre um compromisso com os valores sociais, que são o suporte de toda a cultura e de toda a identidade. Neste sentido, a museologia permitirá, então, o uso de instrumentos que permitem compreender o social como objecto museológico, numa relação com as pessoas onde se conjugam o património, a identidade e a memória cultural. A elaboração da presente tese, “Proposta de Musealização do Convento de Chelas”, é fruto de um antigo desejo: o de se dotar com mais e com melhores elementos informativos este espaço antiquíssimo, um património ignorado, principalmente durante o último século, e criar parcerias com outras instituições de cultura, com o estabelecimento de estratégias de trabalho que permitam disseminar o conhecimento produzido. Assim, importa finalmente propor a musealização do espaço do Convento de Chelas, garantindo, deste modo, a preservação e a continuidade do devir histórico e cultural do monumento. Palavras-chave: Convento de Chelas, Memória, Museologia, Musealização, Património, Simbólico.
It is in the places of memory where the more we find ourselves, because they are understood as being spaces that invite people to reflect, and where the memory assumes its pedagogical character, since we have the ability to learn from the mistakes of the past so that they do not be reproduced in the future. They are places where each generation seeks knowledge; and it is in them that we add the progress obtained. For this reason, each monument is an unique and irreplaceable cultural heritage, whose preservation and management ensure that the individual and collective memories cannot be lost but last available generation by generation, performing a role of sediment of culture and of communion of generations that cannot be minimized in the evolution of the society. Before any monument, such as this old convent of St. Felix and St. Adrião, what comes to mind is not to know what social use exists now or will exist if the project were done in this direction, but rather what the use it has throughout its ancient existence. It is the history that these walls have witnessed that enchants us and gives us a sense of peace and comfort of belonging to a community that was here before us. Today we tread the same slabs of the cloister and tomorrow, necessarily, we will continue to add history to the history of this place and this city, so it is indispensable to always observe a commitment to social values, which are the support of our whole culture and identity. In this sense, museology will allow, then the use of the instruments that allow the understandment of the the social as a museological object, in a relationship with the people where the patrimony, the identity and the cultural memory go together. The elaboration of this thesis, “Proposta de Musealização do Convento de Chelas” is the fruit of an old desire of endowing with more and better informative elements of this very ancient space, this ignored patrimony, mainly during the last century, and to create partnerships with other cultural institutions, with the establishment of work methodologies that permit the dissemination of the knowledge produced. So, it’s important to propose the musealization of the space of the Convent of Chelas ensuring of the preservation and continuation of the historical and cultural becoming of the monument. Key words: Convent of Chelas, Memory, Museology, Musealization, Patrimony, Symbolic
