The city of Estância in face of the structural capital crisis

Abstract

This article has as objective to do the space geographical reading of the city of Estância/SE, in face of the structural capital crisis, from the memory of its inhabitants, the ones who live of the work: of the employees and unemployed of the industrial facilities of the city, trying to identify their actions, reactions and tensions, having the word factory as ideological centralizing sign to the questionings. The analysis of the representations of the every day was mediated in the “lefebvriana” approach that allows to understand what was lived and noticed whereas conception, practical sensitive. The developed reading allowed to verify that the word factory goes by all the relations of the day by day, of the questioned subjects; the city is not noticed, in the speed of the technological modernization time, of the accelerated rhythm of the informatization, or of the robotics, but in the time of the slow duration. Both time and history of Estância are materialized in the freezing of the yesterday, as form perhaps to naturalize the poverty and to record in the memory a yesterday that eternalizes better times that allows to give sense to the daily routine of people’s lives. In desire, the subjectivity is the current of its imprisonment, once the alienated work is its half and end.
