Das ribeiras ao cais de Macapá: a cidade vista sob a trajetória de um migrante

Abstract

This article is a brief cut of the doctoral thesis defended in the Postgraduate Program in Sociology of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) entitled A quay that shelters life stories: men and machines building social in the city of Macapá (1943-1970). The central theme of the article is the trajectory of a migrant that crosses the countryside and city, with emphasis on his political actions during the gentrification of areas of the urban space of Macapá. It occupies, therefore, in interface with History and Sociology, of the narrative of a trajectory constructed from the actions of a riverbank in its quay (place), later displaced to the pier of the city of Macapá. The displacement of the migrant as a path of resocialization in the course of his trajectory in the city of Macapá is taken as referent. The research was developed around three main axes of analysis: trajectory of field-city displacement, urban gentrification project of Macapá and political and professional trajectory of the riverine. The results point to the understanding that the city is a virtuality always being made and reworking, therefore, construct of singular and plural subjects in action.
