Brazilian Federal Constitution

To the deep one, the old cathedral, today the church of Ours Lady of the Carmo, certifies the importance of colonial and imperial Brazil and the power of the Church. (FONSECA, p.56, 2003.) This story demonstrates the form as the patrimony is seen only under a external scope, that assumes a imponncia form and encloses what it would represent the elitist society of that time. But, the author continues its illustration, however describing another peculiar and interesting aspect: This reading of Square XV, however, is far from fully evoking the past, the society of the time and the life that if developed in that space. Few had been the registers that, as the left ones for Debret, Hildebrandt (FOUNDATION, 2000) and others, still caught the presence in these spaces, of merchants, domestic, black slaves of service and alforriados, at last of the complex and multifaceted society that way circulated. (FONSECA, p.56, 2003.) It is exactly this characteristic, according to Maria Clia London Fonseca, the society leaves to observe. The diversity of the societies in different historical periods.

This context in the generality would have also to be considered as a to be studied, analyzed, debated patrimony and preserved. The promulgated Brazilian Federal Constitution in 1988 defends the Brazilian Cultural Patrimony in its article 216. However, exactly with the legislative protection, what in fact if it considers passvel of protection are known essential concrete goods or for formation of our society. For scientific, artistic and technological creations mainly of individual authorship, is foreseen the mechanisms of registers as well as the right of protection of the author. Art. 216 Constituem Brazilian cultural patrimony the goods of material and incorporeal nature, taken individually or in set, carriers of reference to the identity, the action, the memory of the different groups formadores of the Brazilian society, in which if they include: I – The expression forms; II the ways to create, to make and to live; III the creations scientific, artistic, and technological; IV the workmanships, objects, documents, constructions and too much spaces destined to the artistic-cultural manifestations; V – The urban sets and small farms of historical, paisagstico, artistic, archaeological, paleontological, ecological and scientific value (Brazilian Federal Constitution, 1888) The question that is in air and that unhappyly I did not obtain to answer is: where it is the verbal call tradition? That one that does not have one author with its copyrights to be questioned? Patrimonial Apreservao perpassa for a series of quarrels that must be reviewed and be reevaluated so that the culture of a people if does not lose in the esquecimento.

The material patrimonies are passveis of preservation. However, the incorporeal ones need an effort conjutos of governments, professors, esolas, communities in all the instances so that if it does not leave to lose the verbal and cultural tradition of many populations. Already in it is enough to years of slavery and sufocamento to them of the African and aboriginal culture. Today affirmative actions of small groups try to rescue what he was lost. Cade we, civil society to hug the cause of what fact is important to preserve itself, the material and incorporeal cultural objects of the Brazilian people and all the peoples.>
