ARTES DE DIZER A PEDRA ARREPENDIDA: TRADIÇÃO ORAL EM NATIVIDADE (TO)

Abstract

This work shows, through analysis of four "versions" of an oral and written of Maximiano da Matta Teixeira, collected tale A pedra arrependida . It was observed some substantial aspects in these oral narratives told in the city of Natividade - TO which changed them from the text written. It is an attempt to show the importance of preserving them. In the aspects analyzed can be evidenced a lot of modes of thought present in oral histories, for example, if it is more aggregative than subordinate and more and less redundant etc. It was described the procedures of storytellers in relation to oral and written narrative construction, based in a conception relation with theory of literature as Walter Ong (1986, 1998), Paul Zumthor (1993), Luis da Camara Cascudo (1967, 1984), André Jolles (1930), Walter Benjamin (1994), Ecléa Bosi (1994), among others. Before that, it was presented views on popular culture around the world and Brazil, showing out the first ways traveled to construct a national identity and the question of national and popular, especially for studies investigating the oral tradition and culture and writing. The point of analysis was an investigation into the Natividade, a city of southeastern state of Tocantins, with a view to a critique of the cultural productions of our people. For this approach, we use sources like Alfredo Bosi (1975, 1987, 1992), Peter Burke (1989), Marilena Chauí (1986, 2000), Nestor Garcia Caclini (2003), Mikhail Bakhtin (1997, 2002) and Roger Chartier (1995).
