Um percurso de memória: os rastros do Cura Circuito de Arte Urbana e do slam Clube da Luta na plataforma Instagram

Abstract

This work is dedicated to observe the platformed social memory in its digital dynamics as a flow, as a space for ideological disputes, place for forgetfulness and non-existence, and from memory objects created with art expressions in the city. The study began with a prior observation, in social platform Instagram, of the difference in circulation of memory objects related to the urban art festival Cura and Slam Clube da Luta, a spoken poetry competition. Those art expressions are both located in the territory of the center of the city of Belo Horizonte. To understand the reasons of such a difference, we observed three fundamental thematic axis formulated from the bibliographic research. Those are: circulation, nature of the artistic expression and memory categories. The analysis embraces posts related to the hashtags identified as marker for the two events. To investigate the difference in circulation of the memory objects allowed us to note the memory and the forgetfulness defined by several actors within the process: from the expressive choices related to the nature of the artistic expressions, through its tactics in the platform, the actions of the users and the actions of the platform itself, by means of its programing. At the end, we could observe that, in a digital media, the role of the archon, of the one who keeps and establishes an order to the archive, is distributed among more or less obvious actors.
