NARRATIVAS DO SALSA: RECONSTRUÇÃO DE MEMÓRIA COLETIVA NA MARÉ

Abstract

This research aims to consider the importance of activities that promote the narrative of memories in the Salsa territory, in Maré (RJ), encouraging students' protagonism in schools. The methodology adopted was composed of a combination of ethnography and participant observation, to contextualize Salsa; and bibliographic research, to establish theoretical and conceptual parameters, in addition to seeking narrative activities on memory and identity in Maré, to consider how they can be adapted to the reality of Salsa. The conceptual panorama for this research focused on authors who deal with bibliographic research and ethnography, such as Marconi and Lakatos (2017), Cunha (2021) and Laplantine (2002); authors who talk about protagonism and identity, such as Freire (2004; 2023), hooks (2013) and Spivak (2010); and authors who talk about collective memory and resistance, such as Halbwachs (2013) and Cunha (2021). Works containing narratives from Maré and narrative activities involving photography are also analyzed. Therefore, based on ethnographic research, the history of Salsa is presented. Some perceptions of Salsa recorded in a field diary based on coexistence and conversations are shown. Then, narratives about memory and identity are thought of in a way that adapts to the contemporary reality of Salsa, focusing on the leading role of students and the collective reconstruction of memory. For this research, narrative art and the stories of Salsa told by those who live there are important stories: they are memories lived and narrated by subjects-students-protagonists of Salsa, in Maré. They are an essential part of the history of the territories, of their affections, their belonging, driving transformative action.
