Résumé:
The present work has for space and temporary cutting the central Streets of
Campina Grande in the first half of the century XX, and it tries to insert the space of the
Street in the studies and analyses on the modern city. Understanding the urban space as
plural and marked by the people's diversity and social groups that daily and they go
back your attention to such an atmosphere, we tried to present the different glances and
perceptions on this space, that ends being created not only arquitetonicament, but also
simbolicament. The visual chronicles that they were possible to find through the
sources, they revealed us some courses for the city, that they presented not only the
atmosphere physicist's of the Streets material development, but also the different
territories that were formed starting from the inhabitants' particularities, that more of the
times with your uses and habits ended for dimension the urban space. As a flaneur that
makes your immersion in the urbe, tried to find the possible courses that the
campinenses did in the first half of the century XX and the different sensations that the
residents had in relation to the arrival of comfort equipments and of the material
progress of the city. It is noticed that is built like this an entire process of dominant
collective memory, that he/she had for objective to remind and to perpetuate certain
wealthy social groups, in detriment of other popular groups, especially, the blacks.
Through the researches we tried to identify the "black Territories" that were built in the
daily of the city of Campina Grande in the first half of the century XX: carnival clubs,
soccer teams, frequented atmospheres, etc. At the same time we questioned more as the
memory of this black territory of the times it was, deliberately or not, forgotten. In an
indirect way the memory took us to notice that in the period powder-slavery and I begin
of the century XX the city she also had your racial preferences, which more of the times
he/she meant to forget and not to perpetuate the memory of the slavery past and
segregation of the black in the urban space. For the accomplishment of this work, I
threw hand of different sources, such as: time newspapers, pictures, memoirs and
chronicles, as well as an entire bibliography that if reported the analysis of the modern
city and of the "culture" or "cultures of the city".
