Next, the analyses are directed to problematize the Marabá Marrocos Cine as a ‘place of memory’ and cultural heritage. From the reflections developed and the documents mobilized, it was possible to show the importance and the need to deconstruct the crystallized meanings - which are presented and represented - by the memory and sedimented by the heritage to understand them as historical constructions and to extend the possibilities of their uses in research and or teaching history.
