Do sonho à realidade: a construção do Açude Sabugi (1958-1966)

Abstract

Our research, entiled From Dream to Reality: the sabugi reservoir (1958 -1966), has as problematic to understand how the sabugiense population received the construction of the sabugi reservoir, how this work was meant by the local population so for this analysis, we worked with the time frame from 1958 (the year in which the construction of the dike was requested) to 1966 (the year the dike was inaugurated). To answer this question, we will use a very heterogeneous documentar collection, covering diferente types: textual (letters, land assessments, newspapers, proxies, price tables for expropriation); iconographic (06 photographs related to the constrction of the reservoir) and audiovisual (vídeo of the inauguration of the Sabugi reservoir). In addition to these, was used oral sources. About the methodology and study of these sources, we catalog the sources, classifying them by themes and typologies; we cross the data found in the diferente sources; we produce tables and think about the historicity and production of the newspapers used in the research.
