Quem são esses trabalhadores invisíveis? narrativas orais dos Garis em Parintins- AM

Abstract

This study aimed to understand the challenges and difficulties as a result of the invisibility and devaluation received by society and public authorities. Reflecting through the eyes of the street sweeper himself how he sees himself in society in relation to the work he performs, portraying his experiences, invisibility, indifference and prejudices suffered. Thus, the present study seeks to expand the debate surrounding the social reality faced by street sweepers. In addition to contributing to the appreciation of invisible workers in society, they play a role of great importance for our city, facing rain and sun for the well-being and health of the population. To this end, a qualitative and participatory approach was used as a research method through Oral History procedures, and as a methodology narratives were collected from three street cleaners from the city of Parintins-AM. Based on the data presented, we can see that invisible workers go through difficult and embarrassing situations in their daily lives. It is necessary for this worker to provide support from public authorities, providing the necessary equipment so that publicworkers can carry out their work with dignity and receive recognition and appreciation from the population. The main theorists who support this work are ARENDT (1999), Fernando Braga Costa (2004), Liana França Dourado (2012). Maria Fernanda Diogo (2007), Sawaia (2001).
