• Abstract:

  This article problematizes the listing process of Argos Industrial, a former textile industry located in the municipality of Jundiaí, completed by the Council for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage of the State of São Paulo – CONDEPHAAT in 2017. To achieve this objective, the gradual incorporation of new typologies and temporalities in CONDEPHAAT's preservation actions is analyzed, especially with regard to industrial heritage, as conceptualized in the Charter of Nizhny Tagil. As a result, I found, it is believed that the listing of Argos Industrial was in line with several principles of the aforementioned heritage charter, as it considered the entire factory complex, safeguarding several elements that made up the old factory. However, this listing also revealed the challenges for the effective preservation of industrial heritage, such as the difficulty in safeguarding machinery and collections, and the constant threat caused by road and urban renewal projects.
