Abstract(s)
A agricultura no concelho da Póvoa de Varzim foi estabelecida como atividade
econômica no final do século XIX. Na freguesia de Aguçadoura foram implantadas a
técnica de cultivo em campos masseiras. Esses terrenos agrícolas, servem para a
proteção da ação dos fortes ventos vindos do mar, o famoso nortada. A construção dos
campos masseira, foi um fator decisivo na cultura da região, tanto que os agricultores
de Aguçadoura carregam essa história na alma.
Por meio deste trabalho audiovisual intitulado “Valos”, procurou-se
demonstrar a ação e as práticas agrícolas dos agricultores locais nas masseiras que
ainda restam na região, a relação deles com os campos masseira e a história que
envolve este facto.
“Valos” se apresenta em um formato que une imagens fotográficas e áudio. As
fotografias foram levantadas no local em questão, assim também como o áudio, que
traz os depoimentos e relatos destes agricultores à tona. Por meio desta junção,
imagem e texto verbal, se estabelece uma ligação entre representação e realidade.
“Valos” assume uma voz própria, ganhando a condição de “representação” do
mundo, passa então a ter uma presença singular do mundo, ao apresentar argumentos
ou transmitir pontos de vistas próprios. Por fim, este trabalho se mostra como
documento audiovisual, permitindo um resgate da memória local, dos campos
masseiras e dos seus agricultores.
Agriculture in the municipality of Póvoa de Varzim was established as an economic activity in the late 19th century. In the parish of Aguçadoura, the cultivation technique was implemented in masseira fields. These agricultural lands serve to protect the action of strong winds coming from the sea, the famous nortada. The construction of the masseira fields was a decisive factor in the culture of the region, so much so that Aguçadoura farmers carry this story in their soul. Through this audiovisual work, named Valos, we sought to demonstrate the agricultural practices of local farmers in the masseira fields that still remain in the region and the relationship of the farmers with these fields and the history that is involved. Valos is presented in a format that combines photographic images and audio. The photographs were taken at the site in question, as well as the audio, which brings the testimonies and reports of these farmers to the surface. Through this junction, image and verbal text, a connection is established between representation and reality. Valos takes on a voice of its own, gaining the status of “representation” of the world, then it starts to have a unique presence in the world, when presenting arguments or transmitting its own points of view. Finally, this work is shown as an audio-visual document, allowing a perpetuation of the local memory, the masseira fields and their farmers.
