Abstract(s)
Propomo-nos com a presente dissertação – intitulada “João de Brito Câmara: Poeta e
Promotor cultural” – estudar o espólio deste escritor, de perfil multifacetado, que se encontra
à guarda do Arquivo Regional e Biblioteca Pública da Madeira.
Numa pesquisa preliminar, aferiu-se que este escritor e cidadão madeirense tem ficado um
pouco à margem dos estudos sobre a vida social, política e cultural daquela que é a época do
“meio século de oiro da Cultura da Madeira” (Pestana, 1985).
Assim, a partir do estudo exploratório e documental da correspondência e outras fontes
presentes no seu espólio, descortinam-se episódios marcantes do percurso de vida de JBC
que enfatizam o seu envolvimento, o seu dinamismo e criatividade enquanto poeta e cidadão
ativo no seu tempo, num arco temporal situado entre os anos 40 e 60.
Não deixar esmorecer a memória de um escritor madeirense que marcou o panorama
histórico-cultural nacional e regional em meados do século XX foi o grande objetivo do
nosso estudo. Adquiridos que temos os conhecimentos necessários à gestão de âmbito
cultural e científico, pretende-se, aqui, dar visibilidade e reconhecimento a JBC,
demonstrando como o Património Arquivístico nacional e regional assume um papel
perentório na preservação e valorização da informação e construção da identidade e memória
coletivas.
We propose with this dissertation - entitled “João de Brito Câmara: Poet and Cultural Promoter” - to study the booty of this writer, with a multifaceted profile, who is in charge of the Regional Archive and Public Library of Madeira. In a preliminary survey, it was found that this writer and Madeiran citizen has been somewhat marginalized from the studies on social, political and cultural life of what is the time of the “half century of gold of Madeira Culture” (Pestana, 1985). Thus, from the exploratory and documentary study of correspondence and other sources present in his estate, important episodes of JBC's life path are revealed that emphasize his involvement, his dynamism and creativity as a poet and active citizen in his time, in a time span between the 40s and 60s. The main objective of our study was not to let the memory of a Madeiran writer who marked the national and regional historical-cultural panorama in the middle of the 20th century fade. Once we have the necessary knowledge to manage the cultural and scientific scope, the intention here is to give visibility and recognition to JBC, demonstrating how the national and regional Archival Heritage assumes a perpetual role in the preservation and enhancement of information and construction of identity and collective memory.
