Abstract(s)
Em busca do homem total, no contexto de uma visão integrativa da personalidade, a
identidade surge como necessidade, procura e construção individual do sentido num
tempo. É na cultura e na apropriação criativa dos guiões por esta transportados que o
indivíduo se reconhece e unifica. Inerente a este esforço de coesão identitária, tapeçaria
onde aspectos desavindos do self alcançam novas coerências, encontra-se a noção de
história. É na permanente elaboração narrativa que o sujeito reconstrói o passado,
percebe o presente e se projecta no futuro. As histórias de vida, método e objecto, dão
assim acesso ao tecer subjectivo de um vivido que é também portador de uma cultura. A
D. Palmira (nome fictício), habitante de um interior rural português empobrecido,
envelhecido e desertificado, surge como uma das últimas testemunhas de um sistema
cultural de valores e tradições feito prisioneiro pelo romper das redes de transmissão
oral. O presente estudo procura, através da recolha da sua história, dar voz a quem
usualmente não a tem, fixando em papel um modo de vida que tende a deixar de o ser.
Com ele procura-se também, por meio de análise de conteúdo da sua história de vida, o
escalpelizar temporal da organização identitária enquanto narrativa pessoal.
In the quest for the man as whole, contextualized by an integrative view of personality, identity emerges as an individual necessity, search and construction of meaning in time and place. It´s in the culture, and in the creative appropriation of the plots it carries, that the individual finds unity and self-conscience. Inherent to this effort of identity cohesion, tapestry where disagreeing aspects of the self achieve new forms of coherence is the notion of story. It´s in the permanent elaboration of a self’s narrative that the subject rebuilds his past, perceives his present, and anticipates his future. Life stories, method and object, give access to the subjective weave of a life that is also the carrier of a culture. D. Palmira (fictitious name), inhabitant of an impoverished, aged and abandoned Portuguese rural interior, arises as one of the last witnesses of a cultural system of values and tradition imprisioned by the disruption of oral transmission chains. The present work seeks, by the harvest of her story, to give voice at who usually doesn’t have it, carving in paper a way of life that struggles to survive. Moreover, by mean of a content analysis, we also seek to dissect chronologically the organization of identity as personal narrative.
