Relato de experiência em pesquisa histórica: a associação master aripuanense de futebol

Abstract

This work is an experience report and aims to present the results of a study that used oral history as the primary method to understand the historical context of the Master Aripuanense Association (AMA), also known as "Os Veteranos" (The Veterans), in the development of social, cultural, sports, and leisure programs in the municipality of Novo Aripuanã, in the state of Amazonas, between 2003 and 2022. The association is formed by a group of sports veterans and has emerged as an important community agent, promoting actions that directly impacted the lives of residents of different ages and social backgrounds. The research was motivated by the need to understand how the AMA contributed to social organization and the strengthening of the local community's identity, in addition to developing access to culture and sports. Through interviews with association members, community leaders, and participants in the activities developed, we seek to recover memories and experiences that highlight the AMA's transformative role in promoting social well-being and integrating the population of Novo Aripuanã.
