Modos de vida e cotidiano na cidade : um estudo sobre um pedaço de Dois Irmãos - Recife/PE

Abstract

The research developed from the Postgraduate Program in Consumption, Daily Life and Social Development sought to reflect on a space in the neighborhood of Dois Irmãos, in Recife, and where are located the houses of the former Working Village, in which some are still occupied by residents. belonging to the families of the original formation, which took place from 1933 or occupied by families who are the second to live in the house. The place has different characteristics compared to other spaces within the same neighborhood, where there is a movement of population densification, marked by a pressure for housing and positive demographic expansion, due to the movement caused by the coming of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, which focuses on part of the Dois Irmãos neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods. The region where this research was developed is characterized by landscape, architectural and human preservation, which can be explained by the fact that the area is within a Conservation Unit and the research houses belong to the State, with limitations of modification in their areas. structures and / or possibility of sale or rent. With the support of the concepts of everyday life (Lefebvre, Heller and Certeau), ways of life and space (piece, for Magnani), the following research problematic was formulated: identifying changes in the daily life and way of life of a neighborhood piece of Dois Irmãos, which within a context of urban expansion, remains with typical landscape features of the space historically occupied and built, preserving the physical territory of the residents. From this problematic was elaborated the following objective for this research: to investigate the relations between the daily practices and the construction of a way of life based on the shared experiences, connected to the physical territory and the individual trajectory of each one, in the residents of the houses of the around the square of Two Brothers. The approach to the problem was qualitative, ethnographic-inspired, based on the method organized by Certeau in his book “The Invention of Daily Life 2: Living, Cooking” and Magnani's concepts of piece and stain in the field of urban anthropology, especially within of the relationship of resistance territories within the context of the intense changes and movements that characterize the great metropolises. The search for the characterization of a way of life of the residents of the former Working Village, starts from the idea of the coexistence of two classic differences of way of life, the most communitarian, based on primary relationships and closer proximity between people and the most societal, with colder and analytic relationships. We start from the assumption in this research that the residents of the houses that comprised Vila Operária are characterized by closer relations and daily sharing, which made this area in the neighborhood of Dois Irmãos, according to the findings of this research, a piece according to the perspective of Magnani The survey addressed 11 residents in the 13 houses that make up the perimeter chosen for the composition of the sample, the end of Rua Dois Irmãos, an area around Praça de Dois Irmãos, an important public space in the construction of the history of the neighborhood and, more specific, of the studied area. The research concluded that despite major changes in daily practices addressed in the 5 dimensions chosen to guide fieldwork, namely: residence occupation history, relationship with the former SDR (current COMPESA) and other workplaces, approach to commerce, family and neighborhood relations, Praça de Dois Irmãos, there is a way of life shared by the locals, which could be seen in the narratives about family histories and movements that were experienced in the region, the experiences in shared daily relationships. by the different family groups, which are shown in the knowledge between the families and in the facts lived by the family groups that are brought in the interviews. References to the same places, times and events show that people built together a trajectory that today is the main reference of the most communal way of life lived in this space, characterizing it as a piece in Magnani's perspective.
