Abstract

This dissertation had as main objective to reveal the daily life of human interactions trash in the settlement Boa Esperança - Lagoa da Manga, in order to understand the historical, emotional, social, cultural and training that are embedded in the daily practices of care that settlers lay with the public space and "trash." For this, we opted for a qualitative research, inspired by ethnography, that by observing the spot, listening to the other, describing the habits and customs and at the same time, the interpretation of the multiple aspects involved in practices, three discourse markers of place, with the trash home. Came to a view that the settlers expressed a feeling of intrinsic loveliness by the place where he lives and the people with whom they live, as revealed through the enhancement of historic struggles and achievements of its people, as well as the feeling of belonging and umbilicus buried the land. Also, consider just dirt (feces and uneaten food) as garbage, unlike the concept of junk to the academic realm. The feces and food scraps are reused, respectively, for compost earth food supplementation and domestic animals. This is the representational matrix that organizes socio-cultural influences and the daily practices of the settlers as the actual garbage produced, even the junk such as sacks and bags, paper, bottles etc. not servive at the time, or are put in the pantry, or reused in daily activities of the field, which shows a management junk in your own home, the woman is the manager of it and responsible for the cleanliness of public spaces through the practice of sweeping that is passed from mothers to daughters and starts at home, going to the yard and extends to public spaces, becoming a space-socio-cultural affective informal education. However, this area of teaching cultural traditions of care and environmental cleanup against the "garbage" is being threatened because women are moving away gradually sweeping activities, considering that the time available for this practice is being reduced and replaced by employment in the cooperative brown, newly installed in the settlement. Therefore, it is necessary at this time a do-teaching environment that promotes the knowledge and practices historical, socio-cultural and training of the settlers against the "garbage" lined on affection for the place, in order to mitigate the lifestyles subalternizantes seeking to make the rural man a mere player colonializantes practices, typical of the capitalist system.
