Nas águas lendárias do Rio Capim: narrativas autóctones do fenômeno da pororoca em São Domingos do Capim-Pará

Abstract

This work intends to analyze the autochthonous narratives about the pororoca phenomenon in São Domingos do Capim, focusing on verifying how the pororoca narratives are socially configured within a process of knowledge and practices in the construction of identity in São Domingos do Capim . For this, the historical, political and economic context will be considered, based on the effects of colonization on local culture, touching on the anthropic action of man on nature, referencing the context and logic of the social groups involved. Then, a bibliographic review and an analysis will be carried out based on the travelers' reports and the narrative of the river and the forests, understanding that nature provides man with raw materials that justify not only his material, but also cultural and spiritual existence. . The field research, carried out among the residents of São Domingos do Capim, presents the oral reports in order to show how the local culture is configured, referencing the context and logic of social groups circumscribed to the universe of narratives, such as the myth of pororoca in São Domingos do Capim. The structuring of sciences and the production of this knowledge do not only cover the dimension of qualitative analysis, but demand studies that are able to promote interpretations in different contexts for the different dimensions of polysemy that, at a technical level, are brought from interviews, testimonies , narratives, experiences and memories. In this sense, the theoretical framework on colonialities, anthropization, interculturalities and decolonialities help the interpretation that privileges the transience in the discourses which, according to Fernandes (2011), are the ambiguity, contrariety and contradiction of categories related to discourse analysis.
