Ecos do subterrâneo : estudo antropológico do cotidiano e memória da comunidade de mineiros de carvão de Minas do Leão (RS)

Este trabalho consiste em um estudo etnográfico do cotidiano e da memória da comunidade de mineiros de carvão de Minas do Leão (RS). Por meio de suas representações, procuro desvendar a forma como se constitui sua identidade social, baseada no valor-trabalho, na sociabilidade, na afirmação da masculinidade, e no sentimento de heroísmo decorrente dos perigos enfrentados na mina subterrânea, desativada em 2002. Evidencio, nas narrativas, como o riso e as brincadeiras, estratégias usadas para afugentar o medo do acidente e da morte no subsolo, imprimiram sua marca na vida da comunidade.
