MEMÓRIAS DE NOVA IORQUE-MA: invenção imaginária de uma cidade.

Abstract

This study it takes as inquiry object two moments in the life of the inhabitants of New York, the discursive and social flooding and complete destruction of the city, actions of the inhabitants in intention to reconstruct it physical, politics and symbolically. For the accomplishment of this intention we will take as material by analysis the verbal stories of the old inhabitants main, stories these that speak of its experiences of life as form of preservation of the individual and collective memory. Or either, when constructing images of the city for the narratives of the memory, leaving of different social place, points of view that the narrators occupy or had occupied in histories that they tell, the recollected souvenirs finish converging to common points, in allowing to think the investigated universe as part of a generation that lived deeply proper social situations and that it is not left to confuse with the current generation.
