Resumen
The following work discusses the student movement in the cities of Caicó and Natal, both located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN), between 1964 and 1980. Our goal was to analyze the students’ actions in these two cities, with the Student Housing in Caicó (CEC) as a basis, due to its political and educational importance to the city. It became clear in our bibliographical survey that there is a lack of research data focused on it. In the current social situation, there is also a lack in organization and inclination by the students to engage in political struggles beyond the school or university context. Bringing forward the memories from past students is a way to remind present ones that their role in society surpasses the objective to get through university walls and come out with a diploma in hand. Throughout this work, exploratory and bibliographical researches have been conducted. To collect the data, field research was utilized: we performed semi-structured interviews with seven former Caicó students from the dictatorial period; and documentary research was carried out through the physical and digital CEC archives, the National Library website (Hemeroteca), and the LABORDOC/CERES/CAICÓ collection as well. The approach used was qualitative. We emphasize the importance of Oral History in developing this work, considering that it made it possible to rewrite history from the narratives of the people interviewed; history that would have been lost in time if it remained only in their memories. Finally, it is possible to comprehend the importance of the student movement in the cities of Caicó and Natal existing in the dictatorial period, underlining the influence of the latter over the first. We understand that this research does not cover all aspects of the student movement in Natal and Caicó, and this wasn’t the goal. We hope, however, that it will serve as a basis for further, more detailed research on the subject.
