Artefatos da memória entre baús de histórias: memórias e malandragens de bairros cariocas: a Lapa e a Glória, 1980-1990

Abstract

Through theoretical and methodological investments, we intend to delve into textual, visual and oral sources, contrasting records (polysemic and multivocal expectations) about different temporalities of Lapa and Glória, we think about comparatively reorganizing the political, geographic, cultural and social meanings of their forms and layers of occupation and how certain memories were produced. By comparing the phenomena of malandragem and marginality in Lapa and Glória – their specific trajectories – we will pursue theoretical meanings associated with heritage, space and the “place of memory”, also considering oral history, biography, micro-history and, above all, Social History. We also aim to advance the perspectives of Oral History, with the collection of testimonies, based on interviews to be conducted with old residents, with family members of young people who participated in actions considered transgressive. For the present research object, memory will assume an important role in bringing past and present closer together, interconnecting testimonies of people who were part of the entire cultural construction of these spaces, constituting the so-called collective memory, as a social phenomenon.
