Abstract

The article has the goal to analyze the conception of the spatial and sentimental memory of postings in the blog and Facebook fanpage of “Maria do Resguardo”, which were created in 2009. We seek to reveal the multiple representations of the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, exposed in the photos posted in this “imaginary city”, rebuilt in the social network through the photogaph. We propose a theoretical line about the discussion axes that the subject raises: the places of memory; the urban space and its representation; the blog and Facebook as narrative spaces of virtuality, that bring new meanings to the real city and the relationship between citizens and the public space. We use authors of Cultural Studies, researchers of history and memory to study the past, and the content analysys to evaluate the object.
