Políticas Patrimoniais em Conflito e a Missão de São Miguel Arcanjo (Rio Grande do Sul)

A study of the Jesuit Missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue reveals that while UNESCO's inclusion of Guarani ruins on its World Heritage list in the 1980s introduced a globalized discourse, it also perpetuated civilizatory narratives. Between 2004 and 2014, the project to register São Miguel Arcanjo as a reference site for Mbyá-guarani communities integrated 'newcomers from the margins' into IPHAN's heritage practices, yet this process did not fully dismantle the exoticizing and fetishistic gaze towards Indigenous pasts. The research highlights ongoing tensions between distinct historical frameworks, questioning whether heritage policies can move beyond reducing Indigenous experiences to the exotic or fantastical.
