A constru����o autobiográfica e memorial��stica em oiteiro: memórias de uma sinh��-mo��a

In this research, we intend to deliver a possible reading of the narrative Oiteiro: memórias de uma Sinh��-Mo��a (1958), by the writer Magdalena Antunes, placing it within the context of the Brazilian Literature of Rio Grande do Norte. The author���s personal and social relations described in her book as well as the outcomes within an autobiographical, memorialistic and fictional approach will be under inquiry here. Our intent is to reach an understanding of the autobiographical aspects in Antunes��� work that reveal the ���writing of the self��� and its probable fictional traits, by means of the tensions identified in the narrative. For this reason, we rely on contributions by Lejeune (2008); Amorim (2007; 2012); Walty (1985) and Iser (2002), among others. Aditionally, Antunes��� work is also constituted of a memorialistic nature, which emerges in the book through the reinterpretation of memories based on the author���s childhood and adolescence. For a theoretical description of those moments, we will utilize some conceptions on individual and collective memory and the thoughts of Henri Bergson (1999) and Le Goff (1984), as opposed to the contributions brought by Maurice Halbwachs (2006) and other authors.

0 retrato e a moldura : memória e oralidade em cada homem �� uma ra��a

En este trabajo se ha realizado un an��lisis de cuatro cuentos de Mia Couto (2005) pertenecientes al libro Cada homem �� uma ra��a: O embondeiro que sonhava p��ssaros ; A princesa russa ; O pescador cego y A lenda da noiva e do forasteiro . El estudio, bajo la perspectiva de memoria y oralidad, mantiene en foco la observaci��n sobre la transformaci��n de los componentes de la realidad sociocultural e hist��rica de Mozambique en elementos de ficci��n literaria. Ese recorrido esclarece, en parte, la unidad org��nica que constituye la obra y que gira en torno de los elementos de la tradici��n, la memoria y la oralidad. Este punto es un importante marcador de diferencias, pues las sociedades escritas han dado menos importancia a lo que es transmitido oralmente, dejando lo que es tradici��n en un segundo plano. Se trata de una comprensi��n que acab�� por provocar la distorsi��n del pensamiento sobre lo que es tradici��n oral, algo que no se resume a leyendas, cuentos de hadas, folclores y danzas. De esta manera ha de considerarse a la memoria inscripta en cada s��mbolo como algo que justifica al ser y que lo identifica como individuo poseedor de una historia colectiva

A tessitura da memória em o vendedor de passados de Jos�� Eduardo Agualusa

In the study of African literature in Portuguese language, the theme importance of memory is done by contact those literary works have with the context in which they operate. This study aims to reflect how memory as social element becomes an agent of the composition of literary structure in the O Vendedor de Passados (2004), by Jos�� Eduardo Agualusa. Therefore, we have as reference the critical method developed by Antonio Candido (1976), regarding the critical dialectic, in order to understand how such a throwback acts in the structuring of the romance in a relationship with both structural and thematic elements. Firstly, it presents a panoramic reading the Angolan literary scene in the post-independence, relating this context with the route of writing of Jos�� Eduardo Agualusa. Then it performs the analysis of the relationships between narratives categories - narrator, characters, space, time - and the memorial element, keeping in mind that these categories would be constructed in dialogue with the memory. Lastly, there is the reflection on the dynamics between fiction and reality apprehended in novelistic discourse in which a seller of past figures in an analysis that takes place from the skeptical look on this work. As a theoretical approach, we highlight mainly readings: Hampat��-B�� (2010), Laura Padilla (2007), Tania Mac��do (2008) for the observation of the specific African context quickened in the novel; Tedesco (2004), Halbwachs (2006), Le Goff (2003) regarding the conceptualisation of memory; and Landesman (2006), Krause (2004), Gai (1997) in cutting the skeptical outlook with which the romance dialogues

Um artes��o de matrioshkas - Ficção hist��rica e metaficção em Rubem Fonseca

Esta disserta����o analisa os recursos metaficcionais nos contos e romances de Rubem Fonseca, incluindo os que tratam de eventos e personagens hist��ricos, fundindo, assim, ficção e Hist��ria. Para tanto, nos apoiamos em te��ricos que se debru��am sobre a metaficção, esta tend��ncia que marca o P��s-Modernismo em literatura, a exemplo de Linda Hutcheon (1991), Patricia Waugh (2003) e Gustavo Bernardo (2010). Um dos escritores brasileiros mais respeitados dentro e fora de nossas fronteiras, Fonseca estreia nos anos 1960 trilhando um caminho pr��prio dentro da prosa de ficção brasileira, n��o s�� pelas narrativas violentas, faceta pela qual ele �� mais conhecido, mas tamb��m pelo car��ter autorreflexivo, autoconsciente e digressivo de seus textos. Acusado de ser repetitivo, nota-se que, se �� verdade que seus personagens em geral s��o ���tipos��� (o artista culto, o detetive, o ���garanh��o���), ele costuma experimentar na forma, variando os focos narrativos de maneira a entretecer camadas narrativas e parodiar g��neros: O caso Morel, por exemplo, �� um romance policial que implode o romance policial; o conto "H.M.S. Cormorant em Paranagu��", por seu turno, �� uma homenagem �� segunda gera����o rom��ntica brasileira, representada por ��lvares de Azevedo, em uma conforma����o p��s-moderna de pastiche. A obra cinquenten��ria de Rubem Fonseca joga luz sobre quest��es que est��o na ���ordem do dia���, como o trip�� artista-sociedade-mercado, e introduz um outro olhar sobre o passado hist��rico - incluindo a Hist��ria da cultura, principalmente da literatura. As narrativas aqui analisadas testam os limites que separam ��� ou n��o ��� a ficção da dita realidade, e s��o por n��s classificadas nas seguintes categorias: autobiografia romanceada, romance biogr��fico, romance hist��rico p��s-moderno, pastiche, metaficção historiogr��fica e metaficção policial.

Identidade, memória e narrativas na dan��a de S��o Gon��alo do povoado Mussuca (SE)

This study deals with the participation of the dance of S��o Gon��alo of the Mussuca town/SE, in the process of construction of the ethnic identity among this social group. The Mussuca is a grouping recognized as afro-descendents, linked with black enslaved people in the valley of the Cotinguiba region. The collective memory functions as a drive of this linking with the past and if it makes to elaborate narratives on this descent. The objective of this study was to investigate the ways the rite went through to constitute itself as an element of ethnic representation. Internal and external agents had been identified who had participated in different contexts. By means of an ethnographic work we ve reached some aspects of the local structure social which demonstrated the contradictions through the social relations of the group. This process of ethnic autorecognition presents the kinship and the space question as definers of the social arrangements which establish its ethnic boundaries

De volta para os bra��os da rainha dos c��us: migra����o, memória e festa em Caic��/RN

The present work has as an objective to seize up some particular meanings of the Feast of Sant Ana (The saint which represents the city of Caic��/RN), a central event of the calendar festive-religious of that city, looking for to perceive on how it combines with the symbolic poles sacred: profane through the social bonds that are present there performed and expressed through the social networking and of local belongings. Such bond ties reveal themselves through a very especial manner, through the migration of returning to the feast, when collectively are produced and updated knowledge and codes that reinforce the representation of the local belonging, nominated as being caicoense . We seek on perceiving how the many events of this feast (from a perspective of a religious order as well as laic) acting on a conclusive way to an identity of the re-meaning of that city, especially in its relation with the migrant natives: the sons and daughters that return to the arms of Sant Ana

Caldo do caldo: memória do espet��culo de dan��a paraibano caldo da cana

This research investigated the dance piece Caldo da Cana which premiered in Jo��o Pessoa-PB, in September 1984. It problematizes theoretical and practical way to make dance history, investigating this possibility through the dance itself. Arises from the fact that the dance has specific characteristics that can not be neglected by the historical account. In this sense, it was initiated by the raising of a theoretical framework that speaks to the indicated issues and unfolds through a field study, which included collecting testimonies from people who participated in the show, documentary research, gathering material traces and finally consists a practical part by transposing elaborated historical knowledge into the body through a creative process, resulting on this moment, in the construction of a duo dance

Perfil de memória e ativa����o de linf��citos T na leishmaniose visceral

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is a disease caused by Leishmania infantum chagasi (L.i.chagasi). The clinical evolution post-infection depends on the vertebrate host immune response, which is genetically mediated. This study aimed to evaluate the immune response of individuals living in endemic area for VL in the state of the Rio Grande do Norte, considering individuals with VL under treatment (n = 9), recovered VL <1 year post treatment (n = 10), > 10 years posttreatment (n = 9), uninfected individuals living in endemic areas (n = 7), individuals that lost DTH response (n=6) and asymptomatic individuals for VL (n=9). Peripheral blood cells were evaluated in the presence and absence of soluble Leishmania antigens (SLA) and ex vivo, to determine activation, presence of regulatory cells and memory cells. The Leishmania parasitemia and anti-Leishmania antibodies were determined respectively by qPCR and ELISA. Cells from individuals with VL under treatment showed less cell activation after stimulation with SLA for the markers CD4/CD69, CD8/CD69 and CD8/CD25 compared with VL post treatment treatment (p <0.001). Apparently uninfected individuals have a higher cell activation than symptomatic VL (p <0.001), with the exception of CD8/CD25 marker (p = 0.6662). On the other hand, in the ex-vivo group, significant differences were observed for CD4/CD69, CD8/CD69 and CD8/CD25 between the 4 groups due to increased cell activation present in cells of individuals symptomatic LV (p <0.001). VL cells under treatment, ex vivo, have a lower percentage of memory cells (CD4/CD45RO and CD8/CD45RO) than individuals VL post-treatment or control group (p = <0.01). Likewise, individuals with symptomatic VL have fewer regulatory cells when stimulated by SLA [CD4/CD25 (p = 0.0022) and CD4/FOXP3 (p = 0.0016)] and in the ex-vivo group (p = 0.0017). Finally, DNA isolated from recovered VL contained Leishmania DNA, supporting the hypothesis of non-sterile clinical cure for Leishmania infection. Recovered VL, even 10 years after treatment have high levels of memory cells, which may be due to the presence of stimulation, either by reexposure to Leishmania or non-sterile cure

Memória e cultura: os Fulni-�� afirmando identidade ��tnica

Ce travail s agit du processus d��affirmation de l��identit�� Fulni-�� et de la mobilisation ethnique du groupe qui sont organis��es et maintenues en b��n��fice de leurs droits; ceux-ci consistent en la reconnaissance comme indiens devant la soci��t�� et leurs droits sur le territoire. Le groupe est situ�� dans la municipalit�� d����guas Belas, localis�� entre l�� agreste et le sert��o de l����tat du Pernambuco. Ce sont, en moyenne, 3.676 indiens qui pr��sentent comme signes d��identification ethnique: le Yath��, langue sp��cifique du groupe qui continue �� ��tre utilis��e au quotidien; l��Ouricuri, terme qui d��signe le rituel qui a lieu pendant le printemps et pendant des p��riodes sp��cifiques de l��ann��e; le Tor��, danse commune aux indiens du Nordeste. La m��moire et la mati��re culturelle sont les signes de mobilisation ethnique s��lectionn��s par les Fulni-�� pour favoriser l��affirmation de leur identit�� et la protection de leurs droits. Cet aspect sera trait�� tout au long de ce travail. La mobilisation ethnique est permanente, les Fulni-�� ne cessent d��utiliser des moyens qui peuvent les aider �� vivifier leur identit�� et �� prot��ger l��int��grit�� de leur territoire. Au travers de la m��moire ou gr��ce �� l��utilisation de signes et de symboles ethniques (comme la langue, le rituel religieux et le Tor��) ils consolident l��id��e qu��ils sont indiens en m��me temps qu��ils ��tablissent et d��fendent leurs fronti��res ethniques et physiques

Dadi e o teatro de bonecos: memória, brinquedo e brincadeira

The puppet theater is the theme of this dissertation, with a particular treatment of Memory, Toy and Jokes, focused especially on a Calungueira, maker of dolls, Ieda Maria Medeiros da Silva, known by Dadi. Currently with 71 years old, Dadi resides in Carnauba dos Dantas / RN and not only restricted to "get" the dolls to play, to enact stories by various characters. Build the dolls, dresses, give life, movement. In Rio Grande do Norte, the Puppet Theater, named "Jo��o Redondo," is measured by a historically male character of tradition, represented by some masters who have died or by their pupils, or even by the players who have no lineage of masters in their families but learned from several of them and, gradually, were included in this playful universe. Dadi passes this potiguar genealogy and going to suggesting a variety of transgressions, beyond, with its inventiveness, both in their presentations and in her life, which I did elect her and choose as a singular object in the course of my inquiries. In this study, I use the theoretical and methodological framework of social sciences, in particular the references coming from studies of culture, such as approaches of memory and tradition of authors such as Maurice Halbwachs and Paul Zumthor, among others. The field work was systematized, prioritizing the observation participant and permanent dialogue. I used different strategies for registration, as semi-open interviews, documentary video, audio narratives, photographic and videographic record, giving the work a current relevance to the dialogue with various elements, expanding the initial project, which turned into research for the dissertation

Testemunhos de um tempo vivido : fragmentos e contextos de uma narrativa de Jandu��s-RN

Shows up the memory of the elderly, as a consistent experience in the in the construction of the social memory of Jandu��s, Rio Grande do Norte, where the research takes place. Through an autobiographic narrative, in a qualitative approaching, the intent is to stand up aspects about the individual history and collective memories, starting in a simple question: what did they remember? A question that turns into many others, as how the remember and under which circumstances. So, the lived and remembered moments are the subject of this paper, as these testimonials shows and reveals the citizens typical aspects, intending to telling (again) the city s history by the memories of this people. By oral statements and the analysis that followed, subjective aspects that made a social memory, highlight in violent episodes, that, now remembered, occurred in the historical sediment, which connects several social times, establishing a narrative standard. In Jandu��s, this standard is about the memory that sticks out their individual ways, and the collective life, in the past, standing out the fair and the events that occurred on it, as the most remembered place, where the memories go stronger. When they narrate are incorporated others facts, the story is reinvented, connecting the past to the future. The paper also revels builders subjects aspects of a social memory, as historical sediment that joins the social times. At the present moment, the fair, to them, is a place that doesn t exist anymore; for the city, is a place of enlargement of women s presence at the trending spaces, which means a place of social transformation. That being said, the fair, in both times, present and past, turns into a analysis object, with important elements to reference narrative s time and place. And how the narrative update the past recorded in the old citizen s memory. What was intended to do was articulate the memory and the history form temporal and special etching that define the place and the narrative context: the lived and the remembered at the group s day by day. In that way, were identify the collective memory s common elements, enunciating the memory and the narratives that update that history, influencing and being influenced, forming in memories in a collective phenomenon fueling the local imaginary

Vivendo do mar: tradi����o, memória e mudan��a na vida pesqueira de Pitangui-RN

This research focuses on the fishery activity, aligned to knowledge of past generations, and the transformation to those who depend on this activity for their livelihood, at the seashore community of Pitangui in Extremoz municipality, which lies 40 km away from Natal, seat of the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The intense modernization which has taking place during the last few years may be considered the result of a number of economic, social and cultural factors, as the introduction of new fishery technology. On the other hand, the present study seeks to show how this changing process happened, and to what extent those affected understand and evaluate this transformation. The methodology to carry out the ethnographic work was mainly adopted by qualitative methods and techniques - by participant observation, oral history, photography and the audiovisual records besides reference to data extracted under quantitative methods, as an important instrument of analyses. This induces a conclusion that the transformation of the community is a consequence of the globalized market, though still tied up to specific local relations. The emerging results are: the use of new fishery technology, and new ways of orientation and navigation; the opening to new jobs and occupational activity, the re-order of space s appropriation; changing sociability, larger access to consumer goods, besides bringing on some new conflicts land appropriation and the fishery and the protection of the environment. All this comprehended as a result of the movement of the local relations participating in the global spaces

Auta de Souza, a poeta de pele clara, um moreno doce : memória e cultura da intelectualidade afrodescendente no Rio Grande do Norte

In the first half of the twentieth century different groups of intellectuals were engaged in the pursuit of an ideal of Brazility. Thereon, two currents are perceived. The first was marked by a nostalgic bias about the past, being formulated by intellectuals from the region that was turning as Northeast. This group of intellectuals emphasized values and traditions of the agrarian aristocracy of the region that was losing visibility in the political and economic Brazil scene. Already the other current has a more modern and industrial feature, was formed by intellectuals from the Southeast that in detriment of the first, was rising. This group, on the other hand, was intended to give a new face to Brazil and break with the "roots" of our delay that in their view were linked to our agrarian past. This resulted in different perceptions and interpretations of our historical past, and the construction of different profiles to the Brazilian. Accordingly, our work seeks to understand how was produced the writing that silenced the mixed ancestry of Auta de Souza (1876-1901) considering the position that she should occupy in the intellectuals projects who were in charge of forming a memory for our state. Auta as a relevant historical character in this project of potiguares intellectuals, she was raised to the condition of a model woman and elected in the pantheon of the most beloved poets of Rio Grande do Norte, however, to occupy such prestigious position she had her racial ancestry concealed in the writings that these same intellectuals had written about her, what is still spreaded in memory and rituals places of religious and civic features
