Farmers from Buçu (Augusto Corrêa, PA), while digging a hole in the farm, came across an artifact: pottery associated with bones. Curious, they headed to the University showing concerns on the place where they live and work. Particularities of this spontaneous report and the peculiar nature of their fortuitous finding led to this case study. Given the peremptorily transdisciplinary characteristic of this research, once it involves history, anthropology and archeology, and guided by the dialogue between different kinds of documents, such as orality, material culture and imagery sources, investigations on the mnemonic fragments about the past of that place, coming from testimonies of social agents, in comparison with analyzes of subjects' vivendi and operandi modi, are shown. It is important to note that the existing intercultural bricolage in knowledge's construction in the space is an indelible mark of interethnic character of belonging and identity as a community.

Built on the interface between "public history, corporealities and orality", the article brings experiments based on the Trajetórias Docentes audiovisual collection. It problematizes theoreticalmethodological aspects of corporeality (gestural expressions during public interviews) in studies on life history and teacher training. In a case study, from the perspective of dialogical and participatory oral history work, the autobiographical performance of teacher and activist of basic education Rubens da Silva Pinho (2022) is observed, based on a meeting between basic education teachers and university professors, between teaching, school, university and community knowledge, in the context of ProfHistória (Professional Master's Degree in History Teaching). The research contributions point to three articulated but distinct directions: the teacher's role in the public debate on education, in the present time; the use of autobiographical narratives for continuing education and the construction of a public history of teachers and, finally, the importance of narrative performances and public interviews, contextualized in support networks, for the work in oral history.

The aim of this article is to prese nt transgenerational oral narratives as a research method for studying the history of slavery and post-abolition. To better fulfi ll the task, we propose to present how we used transgenerational memories to discuss life stories, everyday experiences that families maintain and transmit across several generations. We also received valuable contributions from people, through oral testimony, who identifi ed themselves as descendants of slaves and former residents of the São Gonçalo dos Campos (BA) tobacco farms. Based on the documentary body as an analysis methodology, we decided to cross-reference the information we took from written sources with the oral statements we received from the research co-participants.

These writings discuss issues related to urban experiences lived in the hills of Rio de Janeiro based on the methodological oral history (interviews prepared by other researchers and the authors) and history and music (orality of the poetics of the songs). It is aimed to privilege Bezerra da Silva's path and work. The artist favored, in his repertoire, issues from the daily lives of the hills' residents, with emphasis on themes such as violence, shortage, inequality, drugs, criminality, trickery, among others.

The text addresses the material culture of the riverside peoples of Marajoara Amazon, it aims to reflect about the relevance of the material dimension to the social life of this group in the Amazonian context. Based on Oral History assumptions, it prioritizes as a source the oral narratives collected through semidirected interviews. Combining empirical data and theoretical basis, with emphasis on the contributions of Hodder (1994); Sarraf-Pacheco (2009); Portelli (2016), it is verified that the material culture in the life dynamics of the riverside people takes different forms and uses. It incorporates symbolic, cosmological and cognitive aspects of paramount importance in the construction of the territory. Oral tradition is, concerning this aspect, a tactic so that the muted voices of these peoples, who do not only coexist with things, but keep stories from them, meanings of their uses and existence, question standardizing discourses oriented by Westernized visions.
