Local Cultures – Global Spaces
Abstract
This article aims to bring an indiciary perspective of trauma in socio-spatial studies in Small Towns, Villages and Quilombos. Approximately 75 miles from the capital of Espírito Santo, in southeastern Brazil, Regência Augusta sites as a particular case of indiciary approach of trauma in socio-spatial terms, after the event of Fundão’s iron one dam collapse, in 2015. It caused the death of 19 people and devastated biodiversity, through the river (Rio Doce) from Minas Gerais to Espírito Santo. Before this ambiental event, Regência presented itself as a center for fishing, tourism, surfing and a benchmark for the ecological protection of sea turtles. The social bonds suggest that, according to the attentive listening carried out and participant observation, there was a seek of dynamic balance in everyday life among families of the village. The collective trauma, in some cases, tends to devour subjectivity, especially when approached disregarding the discursive level, through the production of testimonies, becoming hard to establish a real balance among people. Therefore, the regime of reconfiguration of corporeality and the relationship with space involves listening to the circuits of affections, in their collective version. Regência, a village with approximately 900 inhabitants, is morphologically distributed on the margins the mouth of Rio Doce, in a portuguese america planning of village. More than some vague speculations, the trauma perspective can be effective to reveal some clues of transformation of socio-spatial relations, from the changes in a social perception of space.
