Abstract
This article aims to outline some reflections about the relations between inventories and urban sensitivities, on the basis of developments of the project "Heritage and Local History: Inventory of Cultural References of the Benfica neighbourhood (CE)", developed on the scope of the Group of Studies and Research on Heritage and Memory - (GEPPM)/ Federal University of Ceará (UFC)/ National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). By identifying and documenting practices, uses, appropriations and senses attributed by different individuals linked direct or indirectly to the spaces of the Benfica neighbourhood, different sensitivities were triggered revealing the history, memory and heritage of the city. The applicability of the inventory put the need to problematize the sensible experiences of the city - traces of other temporalities -, expressed in its materiality and subjectivity. In this perspective, inventories are constituted as a privileged exercise of learning in which the duty of history and the place of memory, linked to the teaching of history, contribute to denaturalize the uses of the past and heritage of the city. Therefore, this paper deals with the potentials of inventories as a methodological resource used to produce historical knowledge and sensory education.
