Memória e coletividade : um estudo sobre as ligas camponesas de Sapé-PB

Abstract

This study analyzes the Peasant Leagues of Sapé, in Paraíba, from the perspective of collective memory and the concept of memorization. Based on the research and concepts of Maurice Halbwachs (1990) and Ecléa Bosi (2006), the research aims to understand how the individual and collective memories of peasant workers are constructed and maintained over time. The study also analyzes the influence of institutions such as the Catholic Church and the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) in the formation of the Leagues, as well as the role of the Memorial das Ligas e Lutas Camponesas (MLLC) as a space for historical preservation. This work is anchored in a qualitative methodological approach, drawing on the analysis of concepts and research related to collective memory and memorization. The present study is based on the theoretical contributions of Maurice Halbwachs (1990) and Ecléa Bosi (2006), with support from the concepts and research of Aued (1981), Alves (2014), Candau (2011), Elias (1994), Martins (1990a; 1994b), Le Goff (1994), Pollak (1989), Rangel (2000), Targino, Moreira, and Menezes (2011), and Tolentino (2016a; 2023b), as well as Van Ham et al. (2006).
