Abstract

This article presents the narratives that embroiderers and weavers have been playing with verses at Vale do Jequitinhonha during the Covid-19 pandemic. The theoretical object are these narratives. Playing with verses is the empirical object. The aim is to understand how these narratives can corroborate oral and cultural memory of this community. It presents reflections by Iúri Lotman (1996), Jerusa Ferreira (1995), Paul Thompson (1998), Paul Ricoeur (2007), Herman Parret (1997), Jacques Rancière (2009) and Ângela Marques and Marco Prado (2018). The corpus comprehends content published in digital channels versinhos.com.br and @rodadeversos. The objective is to demonstrate how the poetic and aesthetic practices from this group of women also contribute to the memory sharing.

Keywords: Communication and consumption. Memory sharing. Covid-19. Women. Vale do Jequitinhonha.
