Alembrar: narrativas de memórias do interior do Ceará

Abstract

In country life, memory is precious and country people have a “taste” for the stories they tell, for new people who arrive, for the younger ones, for a stranger who approaches through conversation or even for those who already know the stories. The “uncertainty” of what we have inside is what brings curiosity and the desire to explore what is developed, experienced and passed on from generation to generation. They are narratives of a time that passes more slowly. In this context, the multimedia and transmedia project Alembrar explores seven thematic axes that involve the relationship between the individual and the sertão: Popular knowledge, mysticism, history, childhood, dreams, cuisine and environment. Through a website, as the main platform, this course conclusion work presents content such as reports, infographics, interviews, short stories, photographs, in addition to other genres and media. When discussing the northeast, an exhibition will also be held with objects that refer to memories of the interior of Ceará. The idea is to share the knowledge and wisdom of the Northeasterners. Alembrar also has a booklet of horror tales told by the elders and an Instagram profile, configuring itself as transmedia. In this way, it intends to promote the debate on the concept of Northeastern from the narrative orality of memories that are traced. Enabling a journey where the history of the individual is also part of a larger and collective history.
