Abstract
O artigo apresenta um breve percurso crítico-reflexivo pela região central de Lisboa, cidade que constrói, preserva e cultiva uma herança percebida como pombalina. O autor se atenta à conformação de marcos, narrativas e usos de aspectos de um passado ligado ao marquês de Pombal. Em foco, o Lisboa Story Centre, as tentativas de fazer da Lisboa Pombalina Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO e a praça do Comércio – espaço vinculado ao discurso mais difundido sobre a reconstrução da capital após o terremoto de 1755 (discurso duradouro que se remete, no fundo, às ideias e justificativas elaboradas e divulgadas pelo marquês e por seus colaboradores).
The paper presents a brief critical-reflective journey through the central region of Lisbon, a city that builds, preserves, and cultivates a heritage perceived as Pombaline. The author draws attention to the conformation of milestones, narratives, and uses of aspects of a past connected to the Marquis of Pombal. The article focuses on the Lisboa Story Centre, the attempts to make Lisboa Pombalina an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Praça do Comércio; a space linked to the most widespread discourse about the reconstruction of the capital after the 1755 earthquake - a long-lasting discourse that refers, in essence, to the ideas and justifications elaborated and disseminated by the Marquis and his collaborators.
