Abstract(s)
O interesse na preservação e sustentabilidade dos patrimónios culturais, veículos de
transmissão das marcas culturais entre gerações e de construção de suas identidades, vem
ganhando cada vez mais destaque, quer no âmbito académico, quer no político. Este estudo
interessou-se na preservação das timbila, numa altura em que uma combinação de fatores
adversos leva ao risco de desaparecimento desta marca cultural, parte da memória coletiva das
comunidades Copi, no sul de Moçambique. O estudo alicerçou-se na tese de que a
combinação de tecnologias gera convergência intermediática que contribui para disseminar a
narrativa do bem cultural e conduzir à reflexão e consciencialização dos sujeitos em torno da
preservação e produção sustentáveis, corroborando as recomendações da Agenda 2030 da
ONU. Assente em bases teóricas em torno do património cultural, tradições, identidades,
tecnologias digitais e preservação cultural, o estudo desenvolveu-se tendo como suportes o
paradigma interpretativista e o modelo de pesquisa baseada na prática artística. Nele foram
desenvolvidos uma Plataforma Digital e um artefacto/instalação que passaram pelas etapas de
conceção, experimentação, reverberação, implementação e reflexão, envolvendo o
pesquisador e sujeitos de diversas faixas etárias, sexos, níveis académicos e origens
geográficas. Houve ainda o contacto com entidades locais bem como a imersão do
pesquisador na Comunidade Copi, junto de praticantes e mestres das timbila. Os resultados da
intervenção realizada mostram que a convergência intermediática permitiu uma boa
disseminação de conhecimentos comummente transmitidos pela oralidade; levou os sujeitos a
uma compreensão mais substancial da gravidade do problema que é a ameaça de
desaparecimento das práticas culturais associadas às timbila; ajudou a criar consciência e
sensibilidade sobre a necessidade de se pensar em soluções para a sua preservação e produção
sustentáveis. Por ter-se verificado que os meios explorados foram eficientes e promissores
para a preservação cultural, o estudo sugere que numa altura em que cultura e tecnologia
coabitam fortemente os mesmos espaços, haja continuidade da exploração das possibilidades
oferecidas pela media digital e de sua apetência aos nativos digitais e não só, para
consciencializa-los da importância da preservação dos bens culturais, sobretudo os que
estejam em risco de desaparecimento. Paralelamente, sugere-se a combinação de diferentes
atores e ações para a preservação ambiental nas comunidades.
The interest in cultural heritage preservation and sustainability, vehicles for cultural marks transmitting between generations and their identities building, has been gaining more and more prominence, both in the academic and political spheres. This study was interested in the timbila preservation, at a time when adverse factors combination leads to the risk of this cultural mark disappearance, part of Copi communities’ collective memory, southern Mozambique. The study was based on the thesis that technologies combination generates intermedia convergence that contributes to disseminate the cultural asset narrative and leads fellows’ reflection and awareness around sustainable preservation and production, inline with the UN 2030 Agenda recommendations. Based on theoretical foundations around cultural heritage, traditions, identities, digital technologies and cultural preservation, the study was developed grounded on the interpretive paradigm and the research model based on artistic practice. Within it, a Digital Platform and an artifact/installation were developed that went through conception, experimentation, reverberation, implementation and reflection stages involving the researcher and fellows of different age groups, genders, academic levels and geographical origins. There was also contact with local entities as well as the researcher immersion in the Copi Community with timbila practitioners and masters. The results of the intervention carried out show that the intermediary convergence allowed good dissemination of knowledge commonly transmitted orally; led fellows to a more substantial understanding the seriousness of the problem; helped to create awareness and sensitivity about the need to think about solutions for preservation and sustainable production. As it was verified that the means explored were efficient and promising for cultural preservation, the study suggests that at a time when culture and technology strongly cohabit the same spaces, should have continuity of exploration possibilities offered by digital media and its appeal to digital natives. It is also necessary to make them aware of the importance of preserving cultural assets, especially those that are at risk of disappearing. At the same time, this study suggests different actors and actions to be combined for environmental preservation in communities.
