Abstract

ResumoO artigo faz uma análise do processo de censura prévia de O Poço (1950), peça teatral de Helena Silveira, sob guarda do Arquivo Miroel Silveira da ECA-USP. Através dessa análise, apresentamos a metodologia de trabalho desenvolvida no estudo dessa documentação, envolvendo metodologia multidisciplinar denominada por alguns autores de Etnografia de Arquivos, com atividades de gerenciamento de informação, pesquisa bibliográfica, análise de conteúdo e interpretação histórica. Com esse estudo que cruza o real e o simbólico, é possível entender o significado dos arquivos, da censura e da realidade como fonte de representação simbólica. Palavras-chave: Censura. Teatro.

The O Poço's censorship: mediation between reality and the symbolic AbstractThis paper brings an analysis on the prior censorship process of the theater play O Poço (The Well, 1950), by Helena Silveira, whose documents are filed in the Miroel Silveira Archives of ECA-USP. Through this analysis, we introduce a methodology of work developed in the study of those documents. It envolves a multidisciplinary approach named, by some authors, Ethnography of Archives, with activies of information mamangement, bibliographic research, content analysis and historical interpretation. With this study that crosses real and symbolic, it is possible to understand the meaning of archives, censorship and of reality as source symbolic representation.

Etnografando Arquivos Históricos: Caminhos Possíveis para Pesquisas em Estudos Organizacionais

“…The author indicated that this ethnography approach allows constructing a bridge between past and present. Costa (2011) applied archival ethnography to analyze a play censorship process in São Paulo, in the 1950s. In the social sciences field, Vieira (2013) advocated the use of archival ethnography to understand the representation of cities in comics.…”

“…In Brazil, research in fields such as anthropology (e.g., Cunha, 2004Cunha, , 2005, communication (e.g., Costa, 2010Costa, , 2011, and social sciences (Vieira, 2013) already uses archival ethnography as a legitimate investigation method. In management, Barros (2016), Barros, Carneiro and Wanderley (2019), Carneiro and Barros (2017), Coraiola (2012Coraiola ( , 2013 and Wanderley, Barros, Costa and Carrieri (2016) indicated the archives relevance and issues such as interpretation, preservation, and access to them.…”
