Arte da voz e do corpo: poéticas de narradores urbanos (Melgaço-PA)

Abstract

In this research we aimed to analyse oral poetics in voices of residents who live in the city of Melgaço, in Forests' Marajó - PA. Taking as base the interlacement between rural-urban in the Amazon and considering that a lot of research about oral narratives focused on rural areas, we interpret these narratives as ways of life, creation, artistic and cultural existence produced in the poetic of the voice, performances and aesthetics by urban dwellers of Melgaço; We mapped creative movements to apprehend ways that the narrators socialize these histories that are invented, recreated, suffer adaptations or enter in disuses in urban lives. Following theoretical orientations of Semiotic Studies, Literary, Psychological, Anthropological and Cultural in connection with the Art field, using the methodology of Oral History, we strive to enter in the oral poeticity of a city of the Marajoara Amazon, capturing the imagination aesthetic that is elaborated in the everyday know-create, gestated in the art of telling and listening by residents of Melgaço. In our perception, the urban oral narratives recover, on its content, afroindígenous memories, historical heritages, practical knowledge, artistic, symbolic, psychological, philosophical and religious transmitted from generation to generation in form of counseling and human conduct. Dipped in this universe, we discovered, by the morphology of oral art, that Melgaço, in the voice of each deponente, is the place of reception, work, friends meetings and fight for life. By performantized voices, the storytellers-poets externalize feelings of dedication, affection and love for the city. The voice’s poetic makes visible the local imaginary aesthetics where the art of narrating has a unique value in the life of each poet because it shares happiness, delight for the soul, therapy for the body, moment of encounter and dialogue with one another, intertwining different times, spaces and generations.
