GRIMALDI, Lucas Costa and ALMEIDA, Dóris Bittencourt. "THE BLUE TOWER": memories of school spaces by narratives of students and teachers (1954-1996). Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2018, vol.56, n.48, pp.140-170. ISSN 1981-1802. https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2018v56n48ID15180.
The study analyzes the different spaces occupied by Colégio de Aplicação/UFRGS, from 1954, year of its foundation, until 1996, when it lefts the Central Campus, being transferred to its own place. The research documents are narratives of graduated students and teachers, published in an edition of the Journal of the application (2004), commemorating the 50 years of the college. We examined these writings, memory issues, especially the composition of the memories of this school space. Each text is a version of the past, whose remembrance involves a construction about what lived, crossed by different divisions, having this as a thread. We bet on the power of these narratives as evidence of a school from another time. Through them and the history's lens, here transformed into documents, it is possible to approache a past tense of an educational institution that has its story tied to the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.
