RESUMO:

The thesis work presented here has the Pataxó people of the Comexatibá Indigenous Land (TI), located in the municipality of Prado (BA), as interlocutors and collaborators. Although the presence of this people in the region has been widely described since the beginning of the 19th century by the traveler Maximilian Wied-Neuwied, during trips he made between 1815 and 1817, the struggle to reclaim the territory effectively only began in 2000, at the time of the official celebrations of Brazil's 500th anniversary. The recognition only came 15 years later, with the publication of the Circumstantiated Report of Identification and Delimitation (RCID) on July 27, 2015. Having as central corpus, especially the life stories of Pataxó women, the research did not intend in any way to unveil orders of functioning of their communities, nor to find fixed structures acting behind each small gesture shown by them, but rather to historicize them as actions of individual and collective subjects, as social facts inserted in more or less delimited spaces and times, without running away from what is conflicting, problematic, and contradictory in them. This task will be anchored in a brief reflection on memory, based on Aleida Assmann (2011), Joel Candau (2005, 2018), Maurice Halbawacks (2003), and Pollack (1989), which will be treated as an individual and collective construction, as a ground for fundamental disputes in the struggle for territory. In addition the discussions of the categories time/temporality by Paul Ricoeur (2006, 2007 and 2012), Johannes Fabian (2013) and Walter Benjamin (2012, 2013), which, in unique ways, invite us to think the past, the present and the future as political sites of creativity and production, will also be fundamental. Other important categories such as culture, identity, and tradition will be illuminated from the thought of João Pacheco de Oliveira (1998, 2004, 2009, and 2016), Georges Balandier (1976), Homi Bhabha (2014), Alban Bensa (2016, 2006), Ulf Hannerz (1997), Edward Said (1990), and Jean Bazin (2008). Then, with the sup-port of these references, as well as documents collected during the research trajectory, the analysis named here as ethnography of narratives will be carried out, considering that they materialize a certain perspective of time through plots, information, and images that account for disqualified, silenced, erased, and forgotten events in the violent colonization process, made acceptable in the country's official narrative. It is important to emphasize that these stories are not mere memories or a source of entertainment, for they are articulated to political processes of resistance and struggle, especially those related to territory. Thus, the research seeks to understand and explain how the Pataxó people of the T.I. Comexatibá narratively organize their experiences in time (temporality) and, by doing so, construct themselves as an indigenous people with legitimate rights over a territory inherited from their ancestors. In other words, it is necessary to know what narrative solutions they have found through time and in time to construct themselves in the difficult undertaking of territorial and ethnic repossessions, where their identities are constantly put in check. As a provisional answer, it will be possible to state that counting is fundamental to the ongoing struggles, even if it is through discontinuous temporalities, which do not fit into any of the consecrated temporal perspectives.
