Abstract

This research attempts to understand in which way did the colonels, priests, bishops, memoir writers, poets and other characters have done idealizations for the past and the future of Limoeiro do Norte-CE. In the first part, titled TIMES, we analyze the time idealizations throughout the twentieth century, trying to comprehend how was builded the notions of space of experience and horizons of expectation. In the second part, MEMORIES, I studied some books of memoirs trying to observe how the writers of these books have done, in their writings, representations of their own families and other institutions such as schools and Catholic Church. In the third part, IMAGES, I analyzed texts and images. I was trying to understand how imagetic the written texts are and how textual the images are. The intention was to see how the audio-visual productions helps to create this social imaginary of Limoeiro, producing the illusion of an identity or a North to Limoeiro.
