Museu da Pessoa no Campo: o eu na sociedade

Abstract

This work arises from the observation of two apparently independent situations: the popularization of initiatives to record oral histories and life narratives, among which the Museu da Pessoa stands out, and the importance of rural areas in the economic-social context. From the apparent distance between the two facts, it is possible to identify a problematic situation: the scarcity of individual records of experiences in a rural environment and, consequently, of reflections on these same experiences from the perspectives of psychology and social sciences. The following article has the general objective of developing research into the psycho-sociocultural circumstances of rural work.
