Memorial dos acadêmicos da Academia Paraibana de Letras: um lugar de memória da literatura paraibana

Abstract

The present work portrays the documentary collection of the Academic Memorial of the Academia Paraibana de Letras (APL). Its purpose is to characterize an APL as a memory location. In order to do so, it is necessary to discuss the history of APL as well as to portray the concepts of memory, patrimony and places of memory, as well as the chronology of the productions of the academics in line with their themes. Methodologically a research qualifies itself as the objectives as descriptive, in relation to an approach as qualitative, and refers to procedures as bibliographic and documentary. The production of the APL, began its production in thirty-one years before the publication of APL, giving greater importance to the place as memorialistic. The APL is then a place of memory, due to an intellectual production that exists, acting in the maintenance and preservation of memory, especially of the population Paraibana.
