          Abstract

          Resumo Os vários volumes coordenados por Pierre Nora para perseguirem uma história dos lugares da memória da França tornaram-se em referência teórica multidisciplinar para quem, como nós, procura reconstruir as memórias com que se organiza hoje a terra dos aborígenes Potiguara do Brasil. Na introdução ao volumoso trabalho que dirigiu durante oito anos, Nora explicava o seu entendimento epistémico da noção de “lugares da memória”, sublinhando que um “lieu de mémoire” é qualquer entidade significativa que, material ou imaterial por natureza, através da vontade humana ou do desgaste do tempo, se tornou um elemento simbólico da herança memorial de uma comunidade. Acrescentava ainda o historiador francês que, sendo a memória a estrutura fundamental deste processo geralmente demorado, convinha entendê-la como um fenómeno de emoções e magias que apenas acomoda os factos que a alimentam. Em rigor, a memória é sempre vaga, reminiscente, agita tanto impressões gerais quanto finos detalhes simbólicos. Mais ainda, a memória é sempre vulnerável a transferências, recordações reprimidas e imaginadas, a censuras e a todo o tipo de projeções. (Nora, 1984). Neste artigo, procuramos perceber que os lugares da memória são também quase sempre o que nos chega, fica e seleciona o passado. A própria reserva onde vivem surge como um locus simbólico ao qual os potiguaras se agarram com todas as suas forças para preservarem o que lhes resta do seu passado.

          Abstract The various volumes coordinated by Pierre Nora to pursue a history of the places of memory in France have become a multidisciplinary theoretical reference for those who, like us, seek to reconstruct the memories with which the land of the Potiguara aborigines of Brazil is organized today. In the introduction to the voluminous work that he directed for eight years, Nora explained his epistemic understanding of the notion of “places of memory”, stressing that a “lieu de mémoire” is any significant entity that, material or immaterial in nature, through a human will or the wear and tear of time, has become a symbolic element of a community’s memorial heritage. The French historian also added that, since memory is the fundamental structure of this generally lengthy process, it was convenient to understand it as a phenomenon of emotions and magic that only accommodates the facts that feed it. Strictly speaking, memory is always vague, and reminiscent, stirring both general impressions and fine symbolic details. Furthermore, memory is always vulnerable to transference, repressed and imagined memories, censorship, and all kinds of projections. (Nora, 1984). In this article, we try to understand that the places of memory are also almost always what comes to us, stays, and selects the past. The reserve where they live appears as a symbolic locus to which the Potiguara aborigines cling with all their strength to preserve what remains of their past.
