Cognition and culture caipira oral tradition: narration and empirical epistemology

Abstract

This paper aims to build a perspective of analysis for oral narratives considering cognitive aspects related to the act of storytelling. In this sense, it is necessary to outline the psychological bases involved in working with the word done by individuals of caipira culture of the city of Cacapava-SP. Therefore, it is proposed, as a starting point, the relativization of some assumptions for the Os parceiros do Rio bonito, from Antonio Candido, in order to take the specific symbolic of orality caipira in resistance and update in relation to economic changes that reach the Paraíba Valley. In this context, the literary analysis allows identifying the formal mediations that takes the word to express the individual experience and the individual's relationship with their sociocultural context.
