Abstract
The objective of this article is to investigate the social memory of the way in which urban slaves occupied the streets of Rio de Janeiro in the 19th century. Based on an iconographic analysis of the painting “Cena de Carnaval”, by Jean Baptiste Debret, we asked the 198 research participants to title the image they were seeing. Using the Social Memory Theory as a theoretical framework, we found that participants had great difficulty in understanding that the work portrayed a festive situation, with only 20% of respondents interpreting it accordingly. More than 45% of the students did not create a title and the other participants understood that the work represented a scene of violence, robbery, work and the desire to become black.
