Narrativas da Indústria Reunida Fábrica Matarazzo em João Pessoa

Abstract

The research seeks to relate concepts of memory, heritage and archive. It aims to understand, through photographic narratives (Documentary), the context of memory and documentary heritage of Matarazzo Factory, present in the city of João Pessoa. It presents a qualitative nature, being a descriptive and documental research, it uses research-action concepts to propose solutions through the creation of an archival memorial. The instruments for data collection were observation, photographic surveys, unstructured interviews, and documentary analysis. The disappearance of information from the performance of the Matarazzo Factory in Paraíba was observed, by means of the absence of attention from public agencies, the owners' lack of interest in maintaining the documental heritage as a source of memory and information, not exempting, in this sense, the professionals who deal with memory and heritage, which for years did not demonstrate any intention of change. This study seeks to awaken the population's sensitivity towards documentary heritage, as well as that of other professionals who deal with memory, about the importance of documentary heritage as a source of information and memory.
