Coletânea de crônicas: “eu venho lá do sertão e posso não lhe agradar”

Abstract

This work aims to create a notebook of journalistic-literary chronicles that depict the daily life and culture of the Alagoan backlands, drawing on affective memory, oral tradition, and the lived experiences of its characters. The choice of the chronicle genre stems from a desire to value the stories of ordinary backlands dwellers, exploring a narrative form that is rarely used in schools and often overlooked by the communications industry. Inspired by music, memories, and elements of Northeastern culture, the chronicles in this project blend personal observation with elements of fantasy to construct sensitive and authentic portrayals of the semi-arid region. In addition to highlighting the potential of opinion journalism as a tool for cultural expression, this work seeks to celebrate the symbolic and emotional richness of popular voices, contributing to the preservation and appreciation of Northeastern identity.
