Oralidade – e o povo sobrevive na sua fala reinventada

Abstract

The main focus of this article is the oral movement, as a tool and as a communication sphere of popular layers. And preservation of their culture. An alternative and precious way when the subjects don’t have access to the legitimate speech forms. Including the writing.

There is in the ample literature about the oral text, from biblical tradition to Saramago, from the Chinese poems of Che King to Suassuana, from Guimarães Rosa to improvisers, a mix of poets and journalists of popular quotidian, their contemporary source of inspiration. Voice and gest, rituals and miths, body and imaginary, all of that composing one narrative that doesn’t end. And, clever, intrude, now, the pores of information channels and, again, find out their veios of the actuality and the constant overcoming.
