O tempo das brincadeiras : mem��ria, turismo e tradi����o em Barra do Camaratuba PB

Barra do Camaratuba belongs to Mataraca city, nearby the boarder between Para��ba and Rio Grande do Norte states. It was the chosen community to develop this research, objectifying to study the set of practical of the cultural manifestations and the implications of the local tourist activity, considering the cultural dynamics. We tried to reconstruct stories from the narratives of the oldest inhabitants, natives, among others that they had lived, some how, individual and collective experiences related to the popular tricks and the traditional parties, considering what they speak and imagine about their experiences and its culture. The Lapinha, the Pastoril, the viola s songs, the Balls of Concertina, the Jo��o Redondo, the Ox of Kings, the wheel of Coconut were common practical perceivable through the communitarian bonds. Among these manifestations, the only one that resisted for a longer time was the wheel coconut. The S��o Pedro s fest is another popular manifestation that appears on the current scene like the padroeiro party, while others cultural practical compose the spectacle s scenery. These questions cover many of the narratives of the interviewed ones in the interlaced thing between memory, tourism and tradition. Therefore, we tried to build our research from the memory, participant observation, orality, techniques of the life history, personal depositions, among others basic methods for the reconstruction of a collective memory . Speaking about the past of Barra do Camaratuba is to live again the parties, the blood relations, the ter��o , the work in the ro��ados , in the flour house, the fishing, the leisure and the habits of the daily life. In this community, there is the presence of conflicts of social and cultural order, caused for the hegemonic classes that sponsor the parties. In the padroeiro party we perceive that the mercantile logic has started, very recently, to transform the religious factor into an excuse to put into motion the local economy. This way, a community originated from artisan fishers and agriculturists, having the fishing practical as a way of subsistence and the tricks as a reference, they had started to compose a new social picture with the arrival of the others and with the presumption and recent tourist development. We perceive social, environmental and cultural impact transformations, exemplified by a non planned activity or a predatory tourism. The changes will always be pointed and compared with other passing in a sphere of relations lived by the natives, local players and fishers

Histórias de leituras e de leitores: pr��ticas e representa����es de leitura em narrativas de professores de diferentes disciplinas escolares

Nous avons pris comme point de d��part le pr��ssupos�� que en exer��ant ses practiques de lecture en salle de classe, les professeurs r��cuperent des signes de ses exp��riences socioculturelles par rapport �� la lecture, construites au long de ses trajectoires. Ind��pendemment de sa discipline scolaire, la m��moire de ces exp��riences interviennent certainement, de mani��re positive ou n��gative, dans la m��diation de la formation de l ��l��ve lecteur. C est donc, par l articulation entre les perspectives de ses ��tudes qui parlent sur l histoire de la lecture, narratives (auto)biographiques et formation du professeur que je pr��tends r��cup��rer et reconstruire, par les narratives de lectures racont��es par les professeurs de diff��rentes disciplines scolaires, les processus d appropriation de la lecture en consid��rant ses tactiques d acc��s et d utilisation des mat��riels ��crits en circulation dans les groupes sociaux auxquels ils appartennaient. Pour ��a ce travail s inqu��rit : Quels models de lectures ��mergent dans les narratives de professeurs de diff��rentes disciplines scolaires ? Comment se manifestent-elles les repr��sentations sur sa performance pour la formation de l ��l��ve lecteur ? L objectif central est d inf��rer les rapports existants entre des exp��riences de lecture et la m��diation dans la formation de lecteurs. Douze professeurs de l ��ducation de base des ��coles de la ville de Bel��m y ont particip��. Le corpus est constitu�� par les transcriptions de deux genres d instruments: douze interviews narratives et deux groupes de d��bats. Les analyses montrent deux grandes fases de la rencontre avec la lecture : une ant��rieure �� l ��cole et l autre �� partir de l ��cole. Ces fases montrent des pratiques et des repr��sentations de lecture h��t��rog��nes diff��renci��s par rapport �� ses aspects fonctionnaux. Elles revellent encore que la formation du lecteur professeur et ��l��ve se lie, d abord, �� la constitution culturelle de l homme, marqu��e, fondamentalement, par son interlocution avec l autre. La famille, l ��cole et le lieu de travail se pr��sentent comme des espaces qui impriment des marques profondes dans le rapport avec la lecture. Malgr�� ��a, le m��me mat��riel ��crit, un fois mis en sc��ne le lu dans ces espaces n ont pas de significat coincidents pour les diff��rentes personnes qui s en approprient. Cette raison montre la possibilit�� de la construction d une histoire de la lecture, bas��e pas exclusivement �� la description des mat��riels lus pendant le cours de leurs vies, mais surtout, sur les indicateurs de ses diff��rentes mani��res de lire. Cette trajectoire exerce de cette fa��on une forte influence sur la prise de d��cision et les manifestations du travail du professeur en situation de salle de classe. Comme ��a on peut conclure, premi��rement, que les repr��sentations et pratiques de lecture se sont constitu��s et se sont (re)configur��s dans des diff��rentes formes, concepts, temps et espaces, dans un entrecroisement de diff��rents discours. Deuxi��mement que la reflexion sur les m��moires de lecture a result�� un nouveau regard des participants sur son travail de professeur et a confirm�� l hipoth��se selon laquelle la production des narratives autor��f��renc��es offre, �� qui les narre, la possibilit�� de transformation des repr��sentations du sujet avec lui-m��me, avec l autre et avec le monde, ce qui d��montre l importance de la recherche (auto)biographique comme m��thode d investigation en ��ducation et sa contribuition pour la formation des formateurs de lecteurs dans des diff��rents domaines de la connaissance , comme territoires constitutifs du sujet et de ses pratiques sociales, �� l ��cole et ailleurs

A banaliza����o da injusti��a social no cotidiano de trabalho : a prop��sito da viol��ncia no trabalho e amea��a �� sa��de do trabalhador

Analyzes the factors that unleash violence by banalization of the problems and health questions of workers in a federal public institution, in Natal/RN. It analyzes transformations in the world of the work, with its politic, social and economic determinatives and its relation to the worker health. Boarding the violence in the work enviroment and its implications to the worker health, focusing on the banalization of problems faced by the workers as a kind of violence in and with the work. It was chosen an analitic methodology with qualitative approach, through the collection tecnic and information analyzes according to the thematic oral history, with recorders of authorized personal narratives, through individual interview with a semi-structured guide. In the analyzis of results it were made empiric cathegories: the daily work enviroment and its influence to the worker profession and life; the violence presents in the work enviroment and its consequences to the worker life and health; the banalization of the social injustice, due to violence against the worker that broked their dreams concerned to the nursing contribution. The results revealed the ordinary work of these workers showing enviromental and organizational unhealthy conditions, caracterized by physical and tecnical insecurity; absence and disqualification of instrumental and human supplies; overload and complexity service; bad distribution of the duties and pressure to the deadline and productivity, producing tension, conflict and anxiety related to the users, colleagues, superiors and to the duties. In the work enviroment, it were identified a external violence, caracterized by physical and verbal aggresion, psychic suffering, worker depreciation; and internal, caracterized by: moral and psychological molestations and accupational structural violence. These kinds of violence bring consequences to the life, that is, professional, economic and moral order of factors and to the health by biological, mental and emocional factors. The banalization of social injustice during the daily work was discussed in the aspects of banalization of problems and work conditions, the health, qualification banalizations and professional valorization. The workers expectatives pointed out to the necessity of: secure conditions of work; trainning and tecnical assistance; politics of attention to the physical, mental and social health to the workers and their family. We conclude the enviromental and organizational conditions of the workers interviewed do not offer physical and tecnical security that they need to the execution of their activities, neither offer comfort or physical and psychological satisfactions. The politic the instituition has used points out to the depreciation and inhumanization of them producing feelings as unsatisfaction, frustation and indignation related to the institution and the work, bringing suffering and physical and mental sicking. We noticed the most terrible violence found in the work enviroment is the banalization of social injustice related do the problems and health of these workers, producing a slowly debility and simbolic death of their lifes. Therefore, it is necessary the implementation of a politic that promotes assurance, health and integral education, valorization and humanization of these workers

Trajet��ria profissional e rupturas epistemol��gicas na educa����o f��sica e na atua����o do professor

This dissertation is the result of concerns with the theoretical-methodological and pedagogical learning processes occurred in the practice of physical education in school, which accompany me since the initial training, when I experienced learning in a piecemeal fashion, focused on technicality and sportivization. In order to better qualify the pedagogical interventions of physical education in school, I have always been worried on applying what I received at the University, but the routine of classes was always demanding others doings. In this sense, there were many moments of epistemological ruptures occurred in my training, in which I always sought new investment in training to account for the provision of a more humanistic and grounded in real educational precepts physical education. To that end I had to reflect on the pedagogical interventions throughout my training, in order not to carry out the activities as heavy doings, but as metamorphoses of knowledge and thus generating learning for students. Thus, this dissertation fits into this context with the overall goal of discussing my professional career, considering the epistemological ruptures of Physical Education, occurred in my training and expertise. The objective is also to identify the contributions of these formations in professional activities, centered on storytelling and reflection of significant experiences in the teaching of sports and Physical Education. We highlight the paradigm shifts, leaving the gymnastic methods, through dance-physical education method, psychomotor, reaching the contemporary critical theories experienced from the culture of movement as well as its implications for professional practice. We chose a qualitative research, using the autobiographical method, using as sources or techniques, narratives, photographic recording and video samples. In the studies within the area of education, for the most part, qualitative research came to oppose the positivist view of the quantification on analysis of social phenomena. New ideas were appearing in order to present innovative perspectives to understand the real. The survey data will be presented in narrated form (descriptive), analyzed based on the theoretical framework that guides the study, especially authors who discuss school physical education, vocational training and body conception. We believe our study may be of relevance for training in Physical Education that as from pedagogical reflections in certain historical realities, envisions being able to open new perspectives for the performance of other physical education teachers

História das mulheres idosas do Grupo Aurora da Vida Campina Grande-PB (1940-1950)

La recherche intitul��e l Histoire des femmes ag��es du group Aurore de La Vie: Campina Grande-PB (1940-1950) a surgit comme consequence de mon observation sur les inter��ts de femmes en retrouner �� l ��cole apr��s qu elles ��taient arriv��es aux soixante ans, um moment de la vie que malgr�� son importance est encore consider��e par trop de gens comme des moments d ��tre seul jusqu �� la fin de la vie. Alors, nous avons formul�� la question la plus importante de ce travail: Quel est l histoire de l ��ducation des femmes ag��es du group Aurore de La Vie, dans le p��riode de son education d enfant? Un group de 25 femmes qui ont ��tudi�� le projet Digna, on a fait une seletion de treize ag��es, entre 65 et 80 ans, qui s appellent: Perp��tua, Florinda, Benta, Ambr��sia, Celestine, Cord��lia, Circe, Filomena, Desd��mona, Dorot��ia, Ofelia, Mart��tius e Nausica. Beaucoup d intelectuels nous ont aid�� avec la base the��rico-methodologique et nous ont present�� l histoire des exclud��es comment une histoire en construction. Parmis ces intelectuelles on rencontre Chartier, Halbwachs, Elias, Perrot, Bosi, Bezerra, Morais et Machado. Pendant notre recherche nous avons employ��s des narrations, des entrevues, des questions ouvertes ou les femmes puissent parler sur l histoire de leur vie. Nous avons regard�� aussi le fiche des ag��es, le arquive de La Secretarie Municipale de Assistence Social (SEMAS) du H��tel de Ville de Campina Grande-PB. Nous avons aussi ��tudi�� sur la legislation reli�� �� la tematique de la Constituition Br��silienne dans l estatute et dans la Politique Nacional de l age. Notre ��tude nous a donn�� des analises sur les themas: pauvresse, travail, sourvenirs, jeux e aussi punitions scolaires. Nous sommes arriv��s �� la conclusion qu �� l ��poque de son enfance, l ��ducation formale ��tait d��j�� determin��e pour le mariage, la pr��-cr��ation la famille. Enfim toujours d��dans de la maison exclud��es du reste du monde. Nous avons compris que pesquiser cet object d ��tude est un contribut avec l histoire des exclud��es en cassant le silence des femmes lesqueles on ��t�� ignor��es par presque toute la prodution historiographique

Sobre (viv��ncia) e mortalidade de pequenos neg��cios: o caso de mercados varejistas potiguares

This paper‟s starting point was the objective of understanding the relation between the reasons pointed out by small businesses owners for the continuity or shutdown of their businesses, and the reasons presented by the Environmental Theories. The paper discusses the Environmental Theories understand that it is supported by a systemic metaphor speech, discussing the theme in terms of organizational survival and mortality . The text reviews the literature showing the changes in the administrative thinking regarding the organization versus environment relation, and presenting general ideas about the micro and small businesses. In methodological terms, the qualitative approach was used in the research. Regarding the data collection technique, an in-depth thematic interview was used. It was carried out considering the elements of the techniques of life history and oral history, always giving priority to real world related narratives told by the interviewed subjects. The empirical corpus of the research was made up of seven owners of small retail businesses in two Potiguar cities: Natal and Mossor��. The interpretative and analytical process focused, at first, on the reflexive dialogue with each one of the owners‟ professional life history and business management experience, constituting the first level of analysis: reflections on individual narratives; and, afterwards, the interpretative process was developed through the analysis of all the subjects‟ statements, identifying the recurring themes and constituting the second level of analysis: reflection on the totalizing narrative. The themes identified in the totalizing narrative, that refer to the continuity of the businesses are: evolution, control, fidelity, liking what one does for a living. The themes that came up as reasons for shutdown are: lack of empathy with the business, lack of evolution, competition problems, suppliers and the government. The text synthesizes its comprehensions affirming that the reasons associated with continuity and shutdown of small markets, for this group of owners specifically, come up as a permanent tension between the volunteerism (quite human) and the determinism (systemic). The tension is shown in testimonies that at the same time evoke the organicist systemic logic through the themes evolution/no evolution, and also counterpoints with themes related to the interested human action, based on desires, feelings and personal convictions such as: liking what one does/ lack of empathy. As for the reflexive dialogue between the postulates of the Environmental Theories and the narratives, the results make it possible to affirm that, differently from the tension expressed by the subjects while talking about their reasons, the reasons associated with survival and mortality of businesses according to the Environmental Theories are theoretically polarized, seeming to preach options that are stagnated and shaping towards the subjects involved in the organization-environment relation

1930, a Para��ba e o inconsciente pol��tico da revolu����o: a narrativa como ato socialmente simb��lico

This work is an attempt to show that the ideological conflict that has been developed by the hegemony of the 1930 Revolution historical events in Para��ba, conceptually turned into an insoluble social contradiction. It ocurred due to imaginary or formal resolutions of the literature that ended up by altering the epistemological rules of the relation between fiction and reality. The present work is based on The unconscious politics: a narrative as a socially symbolic act , book in which all the literary or cultural texts can and should be read as symbolic resolutions to insoluble social contradictions. From string to contemporary literature this phenomenon has been registered by the several ways of textual production turning the 1930 Revolution into one of the main elements which guides the political scene of Para��ba. The ideological groups still centered on the political resentment and committed to a political conflict forged the existence of two historical truths: one which suits the liberais , the winners, and another is of the 1930 conflict. This work argues in favour of the unconscious politics of the 1930 Revolution. This thesis considers necessarily the relation that the Paraibana society maintains with its past and how this past reaches in the present the liberation of a hidden and repressed truth through its narrativization. Beyond that, how the ideological partiality generated the political resentment through the way of thinking of the rivals under the perspective of the good and evil reveals its insoluble social contradiction. Process which comprehends varied narrative forms of the mass culture products and literary production, as in the methodological perspective pointed by Fredric Jameson that all literary or cultural texts can and shall be read as symbolic resolutions of true political and social contradictions. In the case of Paraiba we will have resolutions that search for the reasons which caused the death of Jo��o Pessoa: forgery and publicity of love letters, dispute over the official version of suicide commited by Jo��o Dantas, the man who assassinated Jo��o Pessoa

Narrativas do Brasil nas mem��rias de Pedro Nava

This thesis is a translation of work of the Brazilian doctor, Pedro da Silva Nava (1903-1984), in particular, his memoirs and chronicles, articulated with the writings of medicine history, aiming to defend that the autobiographical narratives are sources of research capable of promoting discussions on the expansion of the present at the confluence of complex and unequal society in constant changing process as the Brazilian. The theoretical and methodological support circulates around studies, proposals and thesis by Boaventura Santos about empowering past, destabilizing subjectivity, sociology of absences, cosmopolitan reason and translation work. The empirical support drawn from the literature produced by Nava were analyzed with reference this reasoning and studies that have facilitated the flow of translation among others, the studies of Antonio Candido, Arrigucci Jr., Boris Cyrulnik, Beatriz Sarlo, Ecl��a Bosi, ��talo Calvino, Jos�� Willington Germano, Jos�� Maria Can��ado, Lev Vygotsky, Marilena Chau��, Paul Ric��eur and Walter Benjamim, without neglecting what we consider indispensable to scientific research, the production of relevant knowledge and prudent, in view of a decent life. The initial inflections reflect the subject of the Memoirs and its education/training, to then place the Memoir subject in the literary context, scientific, historical and Brazilian poetic (1972-2010), bringing great interpreters and discussing the rationale used by the Narrator that we defend stand closer to the cosmopolitan, showing the formation of narratives whose presence insert itself beforehand to modernist verve, linked to the discursive array against the literature as domination space, disseminated in Brazil in the early twentieth century. So, it articulate with those in which the concerns adjust the construction of the social formation of Brazil as a national heritage through literary narrative that focuses on a historical principle that becomes the past empowering, allowing his rereading, whose converge to memory, the lifestyles, the plurality of language and Brazilian culture, formed by several people, converging into a design not of culture but multiculturalism in Brazil. The memory issue was addressed in the space-time of experiences of being that narrates, shaped by a destabilizing subjectivity that sought to order the testimony of a time, a history and society, retelling them by creative imagination, almost fictional, to make circulate his knowledge about Brazil attached to his medical knowledge, as well as other subjects in his living group and other groups with whom they maintained contact. Thus, he portrayed both tangible and intangible cultural assets of the country as a form of preservation, giving them meanings and sense. It approaches, therefore, from the perspective of sociology of absences, the expansion of the present and by the logic inherent in his narratives of self and Brazil

Teodora e Porcina: faces simb��licas da natureza em narrativas de mulheres s��bias

This research looks at the collective imagination in which it keeps alive the issue of heroin wise. Two wise women appear in the narratives of popular history and the History of Donzela Theodora and History Imperatriz Porcina, collated by Lu��s da C��mara Cascudo in his Five Books of the People. The universality, mobility and circularity of these narratives are discussed by authors such as Bakhtin and Guinzburg. The research is developed from three key categories: Knowledge Magic as the knowledge of tradition (Almeida), sensitive knowledge (Levi-Strauss), thought mythical / magical / symbolic (Morin); Wise Women as carriers of this knowledge, which merge and overlap with the imagery of witches and healers; and Mythical Elements which corresponds to the archetypal images (Jung and Silveira), symbols and other images that relate to the magic universe, the magical beliefs and practices considered, ie belonging to the imaginary magic (Bethencourt). Porcina and Theodora are understood as bearers of knowledge of M��tis (Detienne and Vernant), or the cunning intelligence, the manipulation of ph��rmakon (Derrida), the healing potion, which may be the word or ointment of the herb. The route takes us to meet the great archetype of the Wise Woman as psychic power of the feminine, the anima. Narratives are medicinal balms (Estes) and is the clash between the anima and its embodiments by wise women, and animus, his opponents, which gives the transmutation of the psyche, a work comparable to that of alchemyThe Knowledge Magic, operating through the female, myth and nature can recover from its essential value to the emerging paradigm that suggests a more complete human science and a more plural

Di��logos da Alma: uma outra história da loucura

The tesis intends to awake a new way of looking at madness. It presents as reference the Psychiatric Hospital Doctor Jo��o Machado (Natal/RN) and histories of life and narratives of four intern residents. The research in an ethical horizon, intends to give back to the subjects the voices long silented behind the institutions walls by their families and society in general. As well as to open the interpretations of science to receive and to dialogue with other itineraries of thought that, if on one hand does not restitute the explanation of the Real, on the other hand expresses other forms to see the world. Dislocated of the bigger social environment, the people identified as insane, construct their histories endowed with autonomy and displacements in relation to the social rules and structures that characterize our society, as much as in relation to the logical principles of thought that assume an objective and rational reality. As well as a remnants bedspread configured in a complex and unfinished object, the break up of histories of life of the interns, interviews with medical on psychiatrists to the Doctor Jo��o Machado Hospital, documents of the institution and depositions of that house, were the raw material to construct, with this tesis, another chapter of the 'history of madness'. In elapsing of the work innumerable voices have been heard. Some that study the phenomenon of madness, others that live this 'state of the being' in the world. We opt to detaching the first of an open conception on the theme through intellectuals as: Jo��o da Costa Machado, Ulysses Pernambucano, Nise da Silveira and Boris Cyrulnik. They express ethics compromised to the humanity of the being

Entre a Anta e a Cruz: história e mem��ria da cidade de Nova Cruz - RN

Dans ce travail, nous ��tudions la construction narrative du pass�� de la ville de Nova Cruz, dans l��agreste potiguar. Les r��cits soulignent l��existence d��un corpus narratif homog��ne qui fait r��f��rence �� l��occupation du lieu et �� l����vangelisation de ses habitants. Ainsi, les images des saints et des missionaires civilisateurs de l��espace qui domestiquent les manifestations d��un esprit autochtone sauvage, habitants du milieu naturel, sont recurrentes dans la description des personnages du pass��. Observant la continuit�� s��mantique des diff��rentes versions de l��histoire de la ville, nous nous proposons d��analyser d��une mani��re conjointe les textes de l��historiographie locale et les t��moignages oraux collect��s. Comme il a ��t�� possible de le constater, les chemins de l����crit et de l��oral se croisent en plusieurs occasions, ob��issant �� des logiques locales de repr��sentations du pass��. Ainsi, notre ��tude porte sur des champs communs �� l��Anthropologie, �� l��Histoire e �� la Litt��rature. Les reconstructions narratives du pass�� local sont aussi activ��es par des faits plus r��cents, des "marques de la m��moire" comme le march��, le train, la croix et le r��servoir, symboles d��une ��poque d��abondance qui suit l��action civilisatrice des personnages ancestraux

Padre Miguelinho :o intelectual, o professor, o revolucion��rio - vozes que se fazem ouvir

This research work worries in building the history of the natalense priest Miguel Joaquim of Almeida Castro, Miguelinho, I don't just eat one of the heroes and martyrs of the Revolution From Pernambuco of 1817, as bill the traditional history, but also the educated man, the intellectual and the admired teacher. The studied period understands the beginning of the century XIX, when priest Miguelinho comes back to Brazil, coming of Portugal, to assume teacher's occupation in the Seminar of Olinda, and it ends in the year of 1817, marked by the Revolution From Pernambuco, one of the most important movements in the fight for the liberation of Brazil of the Portuguese domain. Miguelinho, one of the leaders of the Revolution, that also reached the provinces of Para��ba and of Rio Grande do Norte, it was executed by the real troops. Like this, he tries to understand the Priest's conflicting relationship, while representative clergyman, of a Church that almost obtained a religious monopoly, and your ideals per centuries more gone back to a social and economical order of Illumines, that even certain point condemned the attitude of the own Church. The objective, then, is to understand through the path of priest's Miguelinho life, not only the intellectual, the teacher and the revolutionary, but the representation of your political and pedagogic-educational ideas in a die historical moment and the creation of the republican myth, looking for the plurality of an universe that seeks, per times, to flee of our theoretical context

Luta pela terra, luta pela palavra: história de vida e forma����o de duas educadoras populares do campo

This project has resulted from a reunion between me and two teachers with whom I had already worked, pedagogically counseling them during the execution of the Project of Youngsters and Adults Schooling at the Agrarian Reform Settlements in the State of Sergipe (PAJA/PRONERA) between 2002 and 2003. The matter that really motivated the research was related to the essential principle that guided the accomplishment of the PAJA s teachers education and professionalization: understanding their reality and knowing their needs, promoting the dialogue between scientific and common sense knowledge. Taking as a reference the fact that the teachers education is not restricted to the academic qualification, that is, that it is a part of the educational process, which, in turn, is a result of each one s personal background, dialectically individual and collective, the access to the teachers reality and needs was accomplished by studying their backgrounds, especially their school and professional career. They, inevitably, focused themselves on the country life s social and cultural context, that could be better understood by living together with the teachers during the twenty-seven days I stayed in the Golfo s settlement, located in the town named Pacatuba/SE. The approach to the teachers lives through their stories and the daily contact proved how much Science is still distant from the peasants routine, sometimes being presented to them as a finished product . That way, the dialog between those two categories and the expectation of the country life s social and cultural conditions, together with the education, in which teachers have an essential role, still remain as a challenge

Escafandristas do tempo: narrativas de vida e regenera����o da mem��ria em S��o Rafael-RN

In the late 1970s, the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte was the setting of Projeto Baixo-A��u whose highlight was the building of the dam Eng. Armando Ribeiro Gon��alves, designed to collect 2.4 billion cubic meters of water. Presumably, such an initiative would bring economic and social development for thousands of potiguares who suffered the hardships of drought. However, the dam would reach several cities in the region, reaching to cover one of them: S��o Rafael. As a result, the early years of the 1980s, nearby, a new town was built by DNOCS. This thesis aims to discuss how the population of S��o Rafael recalls this fact and reconstructs its history by speaking, writing and computing, after three decades. Based on the prospect moriniana method as a strategy, visits were made to the city of S��o Rafael and open interviews (individual and collective) with two groups of subjects: one composed of those who lived in their ancient homeland, and another, with young people who were born in the new city. Besides the reports of these subjects, they were observed the visual narratives presented by images, mostly photographic, available on a profile created for the city in the orkut social network. As sources for this study, they were also considered the dialogues between rafaelenses accessing the above profile. Having as a central observation by Edgar Morin about what does not regenerate, degenerates . This study is the central argument that the idea of orkut has performed, today, a dual and interdependent role: being a tool that promotes a collective intelligence through cooperation, exchange of ideas and reconstitution of visual and written narratives. Far from a frozen conception in a historical perspective, it has defended the thesis that orkut has regenerated, repaired, reproduced, restored, reorganized and renewed the memory and history of a city that has succumbed to the immensity of the waters of a dam for almost thirty years
