From the perspective of a history of memory, the present work, which is linked to the Group of Studies and Research in Heritage and Memory GEPPM / UFC / CNPq, seeks to understand the symbolic disputes surrounding the construction of industry as an object of heritage. For this purpose, the remnants of Moraes Industries S/A, located in the city of Parnaíba (PI), in the Northeast region of Brazil, are taken as a backdrop. Piauí, as well as the Northeast itself, although always treated on the margins of the national industrial development process, also bears the marks of the process of change that reached this sector, between the late 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s. In several cities in this region, it is possible to find traces of productive processes that have become obsolete and that today remain as a ruin, surviving the passage and the difficulties imposed by time. From various sources such as oral history interviews, photographs, journals, almanacs, magazines, memoirs, memorial stories, chronicles, laws, decrees, law projects, and heritage processes, the research sought to problematize the ways in which the traces from industry, based on the temporality of memory and heritage, they are re-signified and appropriated by the demands of contemporary times; at the same time that it sought to understand the symbolic disputes surrounding these constructions. In other words, machines and industrial installations are removed, workers are removed, employers are removed, labor relations are removed, and spaces formerly interpreted as symbols of economic and / or urban development and progress are now resized, inaugurating new uses and temporalities. As a result, the research points out that there are still difficulties in identifying and valuing the assets associated with the industrial heritage as cultural goods, since, on the one hand, they still lack effective protection and valuation policies, they are still capable of revealing relationships that are not always as positive with the past in which they are linked, constituting a cultural landscape associated with toil and the confrontations of factory work.
