Resumo: | In the late 1970s, the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte was the setting of
Projeto Baixo-Açu whose highlight was the building of the dam Eng. Armando Ribeiro
Gonçalves, designed to collect 2.4 billion cubic meters of water. Presumably, such an
initiative would bring economic and social development for thousands of potiguares
who suffered the hardships of drought. However, the dam would reach several cities
in the region, reaching to cover one of them: São Rafael. As a result, the early years
of the 1980s, nearby, a new town was built by DNOCS. This thesis aims to discuss
how the population of São Rafael recalls this fact and reconstructs its history by
speaking, writing and computing, after three decades. Based on the prospect
moriniana method as a strategy, visits were made to the city of São Rafael and open
interviews (individual and collective) with two groups of subjects: one composed of
those who lived in their ancient homeland, and another, with young people who were
born in the new city. Besides the reports of these subjects, they were observed the
visual narratives presented by images, mostly photographic, available on a profile
created for the city in the orkut social network. As sources for this study, they were
also considered the dialogues between rafaelenses accessing the above profile.
Having as a central observation by Edgar Morin about what does not regenerate,
degenerates . This study is the central argument that the idea of orkut has
performed, today, a dual and interdependent role: being a tool that promotes a
collective intelligence through cooperation, exchange of ideas and reconstitution of
visual and written narratives. Far from a frozen conception in a historical perspective,
it has defended the thesis that orkut has regenerated, repaired, reproduced, restored,
reorganized and renewed the memory and history of a city that has succumbed to
the immensity of the waters of a dam for almost thirty years |
