Resumen
This research analyzes the seridoense cultural memory in excerpts of the poetry work of
the currais-novense’s writer Luís Carlos Guimarães. Two are the books of poetry studied:
O aprendiz e a canção (1961) and As cores do dia (1965). From the first work was chosen
“Galo”, the second “O Curral” and “O pai”. In the foreground there is a poetic tendency
to represent/remember real symbols that mark the architectural identity of the mesoregion,
to note: the farm house, the corrals, among others; on the other hand, there is also a lyrical
self that seeks to register, in its particular way, various cultural practices that, like the
architectural landmarks, permeate the culture and the Seridó’s imaginary. Agriculture and
livestock are listed as cultural practices that have had greater influence and recurrence. In
the midst of the representation of architectural symbols and cultural practices also appear
fundamental elements to the cultural integrity of the scenarios and, therefore, especially
interconnected to both poles discussed above. They are animals - with emphasis on cattle
and roosters - and agricultural crops such as corn and cotton. The result of this complex
turn-based game is a singular and particular representation of a sertanejo’s environment.
Symbolist and surrealistic, poems reveal, in their own way, a poetic attempt to explore the
limits of the conscious. Cultural memories are organized in a hermetic and sometimes
indistinct flow of images, making clairvoyant choice through a process of poetic
construction that evokes landscapes and cultural practices prioritizing the defense of
artistic expression without many barriers of reason. All the poems recover, by means of
institutionalized memories, true icons of high identity content, made possible both an
analysis of poetic representation and the study of the singular perspective of the poet who
reinterprets them. For the proposed discussion, the research is based on the studies of:
Nora (1993), Bosi (2007), Le Goff (2013), Halbwachs (2006), Ricœur (2007) to base
discussions on memory; J. Assmann (1995; 1998; 2008;), A. Assmann (2011), Erll and
Nunning (2003; 2008) regarding the theoretical perspective of cultural memory adopted;
the postulates of Cascudo (1956, 1984, 1999, 2012), J. Lamartine de Faria (2006), O.
Lamartine de Faria (1965, 1980, 2016); P. Lamartine de Faria (2004); Cirne (1979; 2013),
Medeiros (1980) Medeiros Filho (1983), Mariz e Suassuna (2005), Trindade (2010),
Macêdo (2012; 2015), Cavignac et al. (2018), Diniz (2008) with regard to the seridoense’s
and potiguar’s culture/history.
