Engenhos de memórias : o sentimento de pertencimento às paisagens presente nas narrativas dos TAEs da UFMT

Abstract

The general objective of the study was to interpret the different ways of feeling of the Administrative Technicians in Education (TAEs) of UFMT in allusion to "belonging" and "being" part of the Educational Institution, through the geopoetics of landscapes. The research was understood from a case study of descriptive character, of qualitative approach, in the perspective of a transversal field work. As Data Collection Instruments (DCI) it was applied: (i) problem tree; (ii) model-Wailing Wall; (iii) life history interviews - HV and (iv) model-Tree of Dreams. The case analyzed had as its experimental area the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT), Cuiabá-MT campus, for reasons of accessibility, time and the need of this research for the category. The study had as subjects Technical Administrative Workers in Education (TAEs), with a sample of 19 (nineteen) participants, characterized as narrators. Data collection started in September (contact with the participants) and was finalized in October 2020 (interviews with the groups). The study had as theoretical basis the aspects that encompass the structures of identity, feeling, and belonging in the approach of contemporary culture, anthropology, and administration, as well as its principles and organizational values, observing the links between the discourses of theoretical assumptions. To elaborate the theoretical basis, several authors were rescued, such as Canclini (1983), Melo (2004), Lovelock et al. (2011), from the heated debates immersed in the current of cultural studies in the field of literary comparativism in Brazil. The analysis presented the profile of the narrators and wove three landscapes of memory: the vision, through the "look"; the smell, through the "feel" and the sound, through the "hear" of the UFMT TAEs. Through them, places and events were identified that permeate the senses and feelings of the narrators both for the landscapes they have about their Coordinations and the Institution, as well as differentiated perceptions of the servers about their feelings of belonging. As a conclusion, the recognition of this category as a historical agent of UFMT stands out. Through the countless narratives, there are several problems seen, heard and felt, however, not impossible to be solved, or even minimized. The "spectators and listeners are as creative and unpredictable as the readers", and in the imaginary of their memories, the works "seek receivers to cheer or console them; that in the case of this pilot study, we have the mills as a mechanism that can change the way their spectators feel about their way of manifesting themselves to their peers to society.
