MEMORY IN THE MASS OF THE QUILOMBOS, BY PEDRO CASALDÁLIGA
Collective Memory. Social Environment. A Missa dos Quilombos. Pedro Casaldáliga
This dissertation aims to conduct a literary comparison of A missa dos Quilombos (1982), by the writer Pedro Casaldáliga, focusing on memory and centering on a dialogue with the recollection of lived experience within a social environment. Using an analytical approach drawing on the theories of Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) and Stuart Hall (1932-2014), we examine how memory is present within the text and how it reveals the dimensions of collective recollection in a society that thinks from the perspective of Quilombo resistance. Thus, it is society that segregates and ultimately creates a new collective space, a product of collective memory, as considered in Halbwachs's work. Methodologically, we will utilize a bibliographical analysis of A missa dos Quilombos aligned with the theoretical framework of memory and the Theology of Hope. The results are a comparative analysis of the Missa dos Quilombos (Mass of the Quilombos) and, based on figures of speech, linking it to
Literature; we remind you that this dissertation has an interdisciplinary character.
