A distribuidora irmãos Tomé como um lugar de memória em Novo Aripuanã

Abstract

This account of experience in historical research presents the trajectory of a center of social interaction that established memories that lead to the formation of identities. The distribuidora irmão Thomé LTDA fits the concept of places of memory because it constitutes an open space for interaction and refers to a specific group of people memories that unite them as a group. In this sense, the study is dedicated to understanding the role of the distributor as this rich space of human experiences that marked part of the imaginary of Aripuanã society. This analysis is important, since the physical space no longer exists, but it is marked in the memories of the subjects who experienced the period of operation of the establishment, for whom the bonds of friendship, fraternity and the memories of a time when important issues were discussed in the bar, and left traces of their identity. The regulars share this memory among themselves, which is also part of the History of Novo Aripuanã. For this purpose, the Oral History method was used, since written sources do not exist, and the information can only be accessed through oral tradition.
