Resumo
Aracaju, capital de Sergipe, é conhecida tradicionalmente por sua relação histórica com o ecossistema manguezal e o caranguejo tornou-se um dos principais elementos constituintes de sua identidade. Por considerar que as identidades são construídas em acordo com a estrutura e hierarquia da sociedade, entendemos a comunicação como um mecanismo de disseminação de padrões culturais que constantemente organiza e articula as relações sociais. Assim, a partir de uma perspectiva folkcomunicacional, esta pesquisa busca analisar a relação entre identidade de uma comunidade de catadores de caranguejo e a identidade abordada no espaço midiático aracajuano, frente ao processo de formação da identidade cultural da capital. Para isso, foram analisadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com catadoras e catadores de caranguejo da comunidade do Povoado Coqueiro, em São Cristóvão/SE; e matérias jornalísticas de jornais e portais de notícias da capital sergipana, publicadas durante os meses de agosto de 2015 e 2016, período do Festival do Caranguejo. Esta investigação revela que o caranguejo possui forte relação histórica com a capital sergipana, no entanto, o crustáceo está relacionado a duas identidades. Uma construída a partir da relação de subsistência com os ribeirinhos, marginalizada midiaticamente, e a outra, por sua vez, disseminada pela mídia, relaciona-se à gastronomia local, instituída pelo hábito de aracajuanos em quebrar caranguejo.
Aracaju, capital of Sergipe, is traditionally known for its historical relationship with the mangrove ecosystem and the crab has become one of the main constituent elements of its identity. Because we consider that identities are built in accordance with the structure and hierarchy of society, we understand communication as a mechanism for the dissemination of cultural patterns that constantly organizes and articulates social relations. Thus, from a folkcommunicational perspective, this research seeks to analyze the relationship between the identity of a community of crab scavengers and the identity addressed in the media space in Aracaju, facing the process of forming the cultural identity of the capital. For this, semi- structured interviews were analyzed with waste pickers and crab pickers from the community of Povoado Coqueiro, in São Cristóvão / SE; and journalistic articles from newspapers and news portals in the capital of Sergipe, published during the months of August 2015 and 2016, the period of the Crab Festival. This investigation reveals that the crab has a strong historical relationship with the capital of Sergipe, however, the crustacean is related to two identities. One built from the subsistence relationship with the riverside people, marginalized by the media, and the other, in turn, disseminated by the media, is related to local gastronomy, established by the habit of aracajuanos in breaking crab.
