TERRITORY AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY IN THE AMAZON REGION OF THE STATE O PARÁ:

BRIEF CONSIDERATIONS

Abstract

In this text we present part of the ongoing research on collective memory and migratory processes. Aiming to understand how the literature has dealt with the mechanisms of construction and obliteration of collective memory in the face of the circumstances of territorialization produced in singular spaces, especially in the  paraense Amazon, we executed a bibliographic research of the narrative type. The understanding of the territory as a space endowed with certain material and immaterial characteristics allows us to question it as a fertile field of intelligibility in the formation of intersubjective and intrasubjective relationships. In addition, the study of collective memory helps to understand the continuities and discontinuities of the historical narratives of the subjects who inhabit the spaces. The problematization of existential territories in the subjection relationship that imposes on certain subjects the invisibility of their ways of life enables the construction of inventive agencies that promote visibility of local knowledge, a relevant aspect for interventions in the territory under the dialogic and transversal bias.
