Notas sobre a formação de Goiânia: uma história da vida cotidiana nas primeiras décadas da capital goiana (1930-1955)

Abstract

Many studies about the transfer of the capital and the construction of Goiânia were published and widely debated by the intellectual production. It is intended to make a study of everyday life in the first decades of the capital of Goiás, from 1930 to 1955, from the beginning of its construction, going through its Cultural Baptism and before the resizing of its growth with the beginning of the construction of Brasilia. The objective is to problematize the low presence of everyday life in the intellectual and historiographical production about the city by proposing a new version about its construction, as well as elucidating the daily strategies of social actors in the face of structural transformations with the construction of a new capital for Goiás. The object of study, the everyday life, is possible from the analysis of criminal cases collected in the Archive of the Goiânia Forum, public documents of the city's works and newspapers from the Historical Archive of Goiás and from collected interviews of the Cultural Memory project and the reports of the Center of Studies of Popular Culture (CECUP), made in 1985 and 1987. For the treatment of the sources the inductive method is used in order to understand them without predefined theoretical constructs to apprehend the behaviors and the practices of the social actors, besides the manipulation of documents. The information obtained was operated from the relational analysis and the broadening of the notion of social groups, to understand the multiple networks of solidarity, dependencies and interests. In advancing the historiographical debate, labor relations and ways of life at the city's construction were examined, but, as noted in the documentation, not only the ways in which social actors experienced the world of production emerged, but, mainly, their daily strategies in access to the city, urban mobility, housing and leisure.
