Vol. 8 No. 4 (2017): Teaching History, Memory and Cities

This dossier expresses and emphasizes the plurality of sociability and sensitivities in the
northeastern, northern, northern Rio Grande do Sul and the southeastern regions, more
specifically, in Rio and at the international level, the urban experiences of Buenos Aires,
with a look towards museums. This historiographic dive expands the investigative possibilities
about cities and the teaching of local history, as well as inviting us to deepen the dialogue
between teaching and research in the process of historical education in order to provoke in
students the desire to read their cities and write other stories cities beyond the vertical
city. Other readers, narrators, writers and listeners from the cities enter the scene de-
hierarchizing who does and who tells the story, intertwining academic knowledge with
experiential knowledge, giving way to the voices of fishermen, barbers, former residents,
children, militants of urban social movements in order to affirm the polysemy of the text
city in its varied temporalities and spatialities.
