Escarafunchar memórias em Água Branca – AL: entre acontecimentos, personagens e lugares

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the constituent elements of the collective memory of Águabranquense. The initial action was to identify what these elements would be, to then understand how this remembrance is made and felt by the group. In this sense, we use some theoretical references to understand the concept of memory and some academic works to help in the characterization of the region. The research has an exploratory character, and the chosen approach was oral history as a qualitative research method, using interviews and analysis of the collected data. However, other documentary typologies were also used to contextualize the interviews. This investigation moved the history of the Municipality of Água Branca-AL, arousing certain feelings and certain unexpected reflections among the collaborators.
