Narrativas e memórias sobre a diversidade religiosa em Parintins-AM: do registro a formação de um acervo

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze some relevant aspects of the research trajectory that recorded the memory of religious diversity (churches and religious movements) in Parintins, based on the narratives of their leaders and / or believers in order to obtain information about the historical trajectory of these groups social / institutional in the urban area of ​​this municipality forming a collection of oral reports. From this trajectory we can see how field research plays a fundamental role in the composition of broad data to speak about religious diversity in this municipality of Parintins-AM. We promote the historical record of many churches, groups or movements that have never produced a written account of its trajectory, whose elements are kept only in the memories of its leaders and / or founders. The interviews carried out demonstrated the importance and relevance of the contact with these religious institutions, as well as, they showed us the great challenge in doing research with memory and oral history.
