Origem da comunidade quilombola de Umarizal a partir da oralidade local

Abstract

This research is part of the course conclusion work, Licentiate in Portuguese Language Arts, Federal University of South and Southeast of Pará- UNIFESSPA/Campus III. The case analysis is an effort of reflection, understanding and contextualization focused on the origin of the Quilombola Community of Umarizal, located on the left banks of the Tocantins River, in the municipality of Baião-PA, aiming to analyze the struggle process of these quilombo remnants, describing their coexistence in community and the means used to remain resisting. This study was possible thanks to the testimonies of the residents and some written documents such as: certificate of certification of self-recognition by the community and minutes of the association of quilombo remnants. For the execution of the results, I used the Oral History method and made use of bibliographical references such as: Identity and Difference - the perspective of cultural studies by Tomaz Tadeu da Silva, in order to understand how the “definition” of cultures occurs. The theoretical sketch is guided by Benedita Celeste de Moraes Pinto's On the Paths of Survival: memory, gender and symbols of female power in Amazonian villages. The monograph is divided into three chapters and two subtopics, initially, the theoretical focus is on the historicity that gave rise to the community, describing the entire historical process from Paxibal to Umarizal, then I analyze cultural identity as a narrative tradition, showing that the it can vary when passed on due to temporality and we highlight the recurrent cultural manifestations in the community, later, it is presented through reports and documents how the foundation of the community occurred as remnants of quilombos, since after their stay in Umarizal there were the need to formalize the association, finally, we describe all the methods used to prepare this work. Therefore, the research aims to maintain and preserve the village's orality, in addition to making known the reality of the residents of this community.
