Memórias nos corpos e lugares de memória: sob o olhar da dança dos Congos de Calçola da Vila de Ponta Negra

Abstract

This research seeks to investigate the memories of the bodies intertwined with the places of memories lived by the players of Ponta Negra - Natal / RN. For the development and understanding of the research, we rely on Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology, which is capable of revealing the theme, that is, showing what is shown and not what it seems to be, and for this we consider the phenomenological With emphasis on the Congos de Calçolas Group, which, by incorporating, constructing and rebuilding their bodies and daily actions, strive for the recognition and reaffirmation of their culture. We traveled in the Village from the experience as a researcher on the phenomenon since Graduation in Dance, and visited places of memory that, are configured as the result of the constructions of social groups that determine What is memorable and the places where this memory becomes preserved.
