| Resumo: | The Brejuí Mine, situated in the municipality of Currais Novos (RN), was responsible for the
local economy growth between the years of 1943 and 1990, causing the interest of miner's
working class to its urban center. After the end of scheelita extraction, the mine became a
"theme park", in 2004. The company left its mark on the city by building several monuments
in reference to the mining activity and the company's founder, Tomaz Salustino. However, there
are no written records that describe such activities on its early years, nor their pioneers in the
mining subject. Therefore, it is important to investigate the miner’s memories and ask if, along
the more than five decades that lasted the heyday of mining, an identity linked to the profession
was built; the extent to which workers make reference to this history as membersand what are
the symbols that are being triggered in the development of a working class identity. Further, I
investigate what memory was mad concerning the pioneers, mostly farmers attracted by miner
work. To do so, I make use of audiovisual archival resources and oral records of the
interlocutors that were filmed in the preparations of the documentary “Lembranças de velhos
garimpeiros". We have noticed that, in the script of the official history of the Brejuí Mine, the
"boss" figure overlaps the workers and that the forms patronage, originated from the rural
world, followed punctuating the social relations in the mine. Today, with the resumption of the
mining activity, it is possible that the strengthening of the working class and the Seridó miner
identity desire reborn. |
