Network tie, boat balance ..., in the going and coming from the waves, the poetic crossings by the Marajó

Abstract

This report is based on travels that took place at the beginning of 21st century, and it is part of the project Cartografias marajoaras (1999-2003), which aims at constituting drawings of the Marajoara culture, specially, from oral voices with a view to configuring maps in riverine outskirts. The travel narratives bring ethnographic traces and represent passages, conviviality, falls, all assured in imaginary constructions of a traveler in search of the poetic oralities, so important in the region. There are no theoretical references to base the paths, the construction takes place in the attempt to apprehend a sensitive world, which constitutes the narrators and the listener. The text is divided into three parts: of the desire to say, it presents the work in a panoramic way and explains the reason of the writing; in the ticket office, it is assured some paths followed and the plots are clarified; with hammocks tied up, the boat swings bringing the movement, the routes, the heart of the travel.
