O leito das águas (relatório de TCC)

Abstract

The work tells the story of two generations of women - a mother and nine daughters - born and raised in a small town in the Northeast of Brazil. Marked by the flood, drought and daily plots, the narrative is constructed over nine chapters, which connect as the characters are presented. Paraipaba, the city where the plot takes place, also appears as a character that permeates the entire plot, from before his birth to the present day. The objective of the work is to present the relations between matriarchy, tradition and the construction of intergenerationality through the private history of women, specifically in a city in the interior of Ceará. In addition, sought to make a historical portrait of the municipality, whose physical and memory records have been lost as the years go by. To carry out the work, interviews were conducted with characters and family members, bibliographic research and insertion in many of the places where the narratives took place. Within this context, words join photos and documents to give color and voice to a story that is intertwined by blood and traditions.
