Abstract(s)
Recolhemos um conto popular e dois romances tradicionais de uma contadora de estórias de 97 anos da Ponta Delgada, concelho de São Vicente, ilha da Madeira. A arte de contar estórias exige memória e o dom de contar imagens e dar vida a uma narrativa entremeada de falas no discurso direto, com ritmo e vivacidade. Centraremos a nossa atenção no aspeto discursivo da linguagem na transmissão oral das estórias que passam, através da memória, de geração em geração, sendo modificadas a partir da própria realidade de vida do quotidiano da contadora de estórias e dos seus escutadores que lhe dão nova vida no momento da recitação. Mencionaremos as principais variantes das diferentes versões madeirenses das estórias, enquanto variações narrativas inseparáveis da própria linguagem, traduzindo a antiguidade desta tradição oral popular, mas também o papel da memória, na transmissão e consequente transformação da narrativa. Daí a literatura oral ou popular também ser denominada “literatura memorial”, porque existe no fio da memória de quem conta e de quem ouve. As suas características advêm da própria natureza da transmissão oral, com a riqueza das variantes linguístico-discursivas e as elipses ou omissões e adições que resultam das transformações das estórias no tempo e no espaço.
A popular tale and two traditional novels have been collected from a 97-year old storyteller from Ponta Delgada, São Vicente municipality, Madeira Island. The art of storytelling requires memory and the gift of telling images and giving life, with rhythm and liveliness, to a narrative interspersed with direct speech. One’s attention focuses on the discursive aspect of language in the oral transmission of stories that cross over from generation to generation by means of memory as these stories become modified in accordance to the storyteller’s everyday life reality and to her listeners who give them new life at the time of recitation. Not only will the main variants of the different Madeiran versions of the stories as narrative variations inseparable from language itself - thus rendering the antiquity of this popular oral tradition - be mentioned, but also the role of memory in the transmission and consequent transformation of the narrative. Hence the fact of oral literature or popular literature being also called “memorial literature” as it dwells in the thread of the memory of who narrates and who hears. Its characteristics come from the very nature of oral transmission, with the abundance of linguistic-discursive variants and ellipses or omissions and additions that result from the transformations of the stories in time and space.
