| description | The present article seeks to revisit the city of Ouro Preto, its construction, its imagination and its daily life, in order to understand the sociability bottom-up originated, synthesizing the past experience of Portuguese, indigenous, Africans, mestizos and people of all the empire and outside it, for the edification of an original city and society. In shedding light on Ouro Preto, this text aims to contribute to the recovery of the complexity and democratic potentialities of a three centuries baroque tradition, without hiding what in it was perverse and limiting as well. Thus, it also intends to demonstrate that the kind of modernization we have followed in Brazil was not the only possible alternative, but a choice with dire consequences. Hence, through the analysis of the urban, architectural and visual structure of Ouro Preto, it seeks to answer the question of how it was possible for a turbulent crowd, apparently surrendered to a disregarded language of interests, to embark on the construction of a city as a work of art. In addition, it was concluded that Ouro Preto is, and was, in fact, the urban, architectural and aesthetic equivalent of a characteristic version of the language of the affections: that of the Brazilian baroque and its special translation in Minas Gerais. |

O artigo busca revisitar a cidade de Ouro Preto, na sua construção, na sua imaginação e na sua vida cotidiana, para compreender a sociabilidade que nasce “de baixo”, sintetizando a experiência passada de portugueses, indígenas, africanos, mestiços e de gente de todo o império e fora dele, para a edificação de uma cidade e de uma sociedade originais. Ao lançar luz sobre Ouro Preto, este texto ambiciona contribuir para o resgate da complexidade e das potencialidades democráticas de uma tradição barroca de três séculos, sem esconder o que nela havia também de perverso e limitante. Com isso, procura também demonstrar que o tipo de modernização que seguimos no Brasil não era a única alternativa possível, mas uma escolha com consequências nefastas. Desse modo, através da análise da estrutura urbana, arquitetônica e visual de Ouro Preto busca-se responder à questão de como foi possível a uma multidão turbulenta, aparentemente entregue a uma desregrada linguagem dos interesses, lançar-se à edificação de uma cidade como obra de arte. E, conclui-se que Ouro Preto é, e foi, de fato o equivalente urbano, arquitetônico e estético de uma versão característica da linguagem dos afetos, a do barroquismo brasileiro e de sua tradução especial em Minas Gerais. 2019-10-01 2022-03-18T16:17:32Z 2022-03-18T16:17:32Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/12993 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61431 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/12993/8535 Copyright (c) 2019 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 51 (2018) 1984-0241 0101-3459 |
