• Abstract:

  This article aims to present some of the theoretical foundations of the research entitled “Saveiros Baianos do Recôncavo: trajectories and difficulties for their preservation” which is being developed within the scope of the Postgraduate Program in Archeology and Cultural Heritage at `` Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia``. For tact, we present a discussion through a bibliographical review on the following categories of analysis: community, social memory, identity and cultural heritage, commonly used in sociocultural studies. Bahian sloops are wooden sailing vessels, produced by hand, recognized by IPHAN as a cultural asset of Brazil. According to patrimonial discourses, the intense presence of sloops profoundly marked the collective imagination, the landscape and the cultural identity of the population of Recôncavo Baiano. This way, the work presents reflections aimed at elucidating some possible interpretative paths for understanding the process of patrimonialization of Bahian sloops, as well as perceiving other challenges.
