Conversas com açorianos: entre as memórias e os conflitos

Abstract

In this research in we consider them to ask for the past, always in movement, related to experiences in the present, concerning the azorian occupation, in Rio Grande do Sul, in the presence of identity marks, this group in the initially busy space and as some conceptions today naturalized on the same ones had been constructed. The Thesis: Colloquies with Azorian: between the memories and the conflicts works with the idea that they are the experiences, the memories, the temporalities organized for the imaginal world that brings up to date the history of azorianity of these communities that live in the Region of the National Park of the Lagoa do Peixe. Territory that is located in the South coast of the state, between the Cities of Mostardas until the Bojuru Village, passing over Tavares and the Lagoons. The Lagoa do Peixe, exerts a sufficiently important job in this territory because it appears in the narratives of story tellers, in the official reports and is present in the life of these communities until today. The fishing there is focused as a craft, a manual art, a natural obligation of that inhabits there. For the professional, credential fishing for the IBAMA, it is the way of life. However, the field research demonstrated that such activity is practiced by many people (beyond the credential ones), as "legal-size" leisure because of the occurrences, the National Park of the Lagoa do Peixe encloses, as preservation area a territory very frequented by local natives. In this research “images of the memory" were constructed through the historiographical registers, at a first moment and by the stories of the "azorian in the present", are conceived as overlapping layers of time and who commands this time is the duration of the events. The Portuguese settling and its politics of occupation and, provided the coming of "azorian couples". Many of them had gotten "attached lands" however others didn't. They traveled under a vast territory, had formed the first clienteles and since then a lot of things changed. This temporality is registered in history and the historiography south-riograndense. Also it is received and protected for the folklore. To verify the marks and the signals of the azorianity today implies in working with the multiple temporalities contained in the history of the azorians in Rio Grande do Sul and also in the rituals, the arts, the crafts, knowledge of this "azorian - Brazilian of the present". It is the history, registered in the historiography, in the architecture of the time, in the objects, that bring up to date this memory that is carried in the time for the involved citizens. These movements of departures and arrivals, alone can be perceived through the perspective of the "long duration" and covering the poetical narratives that take a walk in the multiple temporalities.
