Os monges barbudos de Soledade nas tramas do tempo: lembranças compartilhadas entre gerações familiares

Abstract

The theme researched was the memories of oral expression shared between family generations and the inherited family memories about a particular event: the movement of the bearded monks of Soledade (1935-1938), which occurred among peasants of the rural area of that city high in the Serra do Botucaraí, north of Rio Grande do Sul. The objective was to observe and recognize in the articulation and re-elaboration of the memories of oral expression, in this bridge between the ancestral past and the present, if and what impacts those events brought to the life trajectories of our contemporaries, descendants of the old monks. Oral History was chosen as the methodological path, as it prioritizes the dialogical and collaborative construction of the subjects, generating knowledge through experience, identity and subjectivity. We adopted the methodological teachings established by the Núcleo de Estudos em História Oral - NEHO (Oral History Study Nucleus) of FFLCH-SP and its researchers. We have observed, among others, in the narratives of oral expression memories carefully transmitted in the family breasts, from generation to generation until our contemporaries, that identity and belonging strongly thrive among the descendants of the bearded monks.
