Abstract

What I will narrate is about a carnival staged and lived in the waters of the Tocantina Amazon, especially in Cametá city, PA, the Carnival of the Waters, which is organized, composed and celebrated by river dwellers. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze a comédia written by Neco Dias for the Linguarudos Character Língua de Aço in the cordão Os Linguarudos, from Rio Santana, in Cametá (PA) carnival in 2010, thinking about the concept of escrevivência coined by Conceição Evaristo (2008). The structured analysis methodology is anchored in narrative research, since the focus of reading is concentrated on the study of stories lived and told by representative voices of society. And to understand the universe of carnival in national, regional and local historiography, the following authors will be used: Roberto da Matta (1997), Queiroz (1999); Cavalcanti; Gonçalves (2009); Góes (2002) and Miranda (2016;2021). And Conceição Evaristo (2008; 2016) to analyze the escrevivência. And Nora (1993) and Hall (2014) for the concepts of identity and memory. It is concluded that carnival, in addition to being multiple and diffuse, can be used as a mechanism for subversion and social criticism, and comédiass are the representation of the writing of the experiences of socially subordinated subjects, and as Conceição Evaristo, they write what they lived and what they live.
