Narrativa oral mazaganense: produção de um minidocumentário como instrumento metodológico, cultural e educacional a partir da lenda "O Cachorro Guardião do Ouro" narrada por José Jacarandá de Brito de Mazagão Velho/AP

Abstract

This study analyzes the relevance of oral narrative in preserving cultural tradition, identity, and ancestry in the district of Mazagão Velho, moving beyond the simple act of storytelling to establish itself as a significant historical, social, and cultural element. Oral narratives, expressed through tales, myths, and legends, serve as important sources for scientific research and contribute to the consolidation of historical identity in remote communities by enabling the understanding of lived experiences and the formation of a collective symbolic imaginary. The importance of culture and its dissemination is legitimized by Article 215 of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, which guarantees the full exercise of cultural rights and access to sources of national culture. From this social, cultural, and scientific perspective, the study proposes the production of a mini-documentary titled "Mazagão Oral Narratives" in the district of Mazagão Velho/AP. This audiovisual resource, in addition to expanding the cultural reach of these narratives, functions as a powerful pedagogical instrument aimed at valuing collective memory, preserving local traditions, and strengthening educational processes. Thus, the objective is to produce a mini-documentary about the oral narrative of the legend "The Golden Guardian Dog," systematizing the technical procedures of audiovisual production to establish it as an educational tool in local, regional, and national contexts. The methodology employed is qualitative field research with a documentary basis. As a result, the mini-documentary presents itself not only as an audiovisual resource but as a potent cultural methodological tool and a valuable educational instrument to promote, value, and disseminate the cultural manifestations constituted over time in Mazagão Velho.
