times they know me or confuse me
because I’m a social psychologist and I
I often say that my choice for
Social psychology does not make a choice
this is a field of psychology in the
special for me but for me it was
almost a must I call
genetic imperative a joke more
I’ll explain to you why I
I was born in a small mining town
mine interiors as well as
itabira
daughter of a very simple housewife
very very dedicated
but also very elegans and a
truck driver I ‘m here to introduce you
You are a very happy worker.
and very full of father stories
I loved to walk telling a story
my father was to me my first
connection with the world
Of course sometimes you can not
imagine today a world without internet
no phone without computers, right?
the world of the child in the 1970’s and
80 so in the world with capital letters
like what kids today was
technology can connect
but for me it’s the comings and goings of my
father on a trip another were always
loaded with expectations of new
knowledge
every time he heard the engine of his old man
truck coming in I run out
My heart was racing, I was going to run.
against korea
Of course we missed you a lot.
but I always had the expectation that
he would bring something that some form of
connecting places that I did not
I knew and that ‘s the way it was
every time he brought it he would bring
a sweet fruit an exotic food
sometimes just stories and jokes
new he learned in travel time
when, also when there was a
graninha it just gets us up
worked there my father and made me
imagine things with such diversity
that my desire to know the
places and story characters
it’s huge
For me to know that the world was too
larger than the small
provincial city of Minas Gerais was
comforting to know that I do not
I needed to settle for nothing of that
that I saw there around me though
had a very happy childhood was the
pasta
and that’s how I and my brothers
we learn to like the road and that
as every road worker is
agent affectionately calls a stretch and
you can not imagine people
liking a pretty one road
the way the doctor’s office
office routine one asks adi
and that’s how my profession
laid on the road and one day brought me
it seems after facing a
bottling at br 381 on cold night
2012
I did not find it when I arrived.
crowded outdoor event
imagine you
people were there in that area of
events to watch a movie that
celebrating their 70th birthday
I can assure you it was not any
highway these people waited for the
documentary with so much anxiety about
so much expectation
and to complete while they waited for
movie showing is pipoqueiro served
popcorn little justice character as
those who stood at the door of the cinema
in the 40’s
I’m very tired from the trip feeling
very cold and feel as if I had
entered into a parallel reality
first because I expected to find
in this event at most employees and ex
employees of the company and for my
surprise
there were people from every corner of the
margins of these occupations representing
several generations
when the movie started the party
absolute excellence until I began to
to think that the noise of my
music that awards the third strike
how are you not trembling now?
even bothering the audience and when
finished the movie showing finished
that I looked around me I saw men
and red-eyed and many
tears
many smiles and many applause
applause from people did not stop
cloud people but where does so much come from?
emotion
Where does such affection come from?
connects their history to
This story I came here for the first time.
instead of starting to work on the
mining and with stereotypes in
head
the ratio of debt to mining
is of love and hate and often very
more hate and love
at that moment I was seeing emotion
to affection
I got this thing in my head.
these are the relationship of these people
of this city with mining is not
just an economic issue
it goes beyond
I started looking for was to understand the
story and discover that it is
narrated with the following only in 1944 is the
first blocks a shiny stone
began to be removed and connected
definitely the story of tavira the
world connector definitely these
people with the world
the work of these people who are there
in this photo and many others connected
this city with the world
this is to find the old feeling
the one I had in relation to my
dad
someone who through work connects
a small city of mines to the world and
then you begin to understand that
this love-hate relationship
perhaps it was much more to do with
a need to discuss the
autonomy versus dependence on the city
to connect with the world she
arrived sea crosses the oceans and wins
seas wins other countries
the company that the daughter of the city where she
grew today in more than 30 countries
and in each country of each place to have
a little bit of itabira that exports
talents export knowledge exports
technology history experience
exports pride of origins
I usually say that today too.
exports rocks and eyes that shine is
everywhere
is the issue of the discussion on
dependence on a relation of a
of an economic activity
it as well as the dependence of a
son of my opinion she goes a lot
besides it is urgent but it goes very
besides an economic question
it is also an identity issue
and how are we talking about a
city of your groups
their workers
We are talking about identity.
collective collective identity it is a
concept of social psychology is a
construct history is so gives the
over the history of a place and
through it the individuals and groups
share stories
values that share norms and
forming over time
and behold, my people are an issue
very important in relation to
employment relationships as the
work relationships
force the identity of a place to
identity of the city of its people
especially the labor relations a
activity so strong when it is so
such as mining
and is very very interesting to think
that image in this image of stones
of the ore blocks with which they
are how strong she is in the
identity of itabira is very very
important was very important for me
this experience when seeing so much emotion
to see so much involvement with that
movie with that one that
was being
the state I was thinking about how much
was serious how important it is
The job I was going to do here is not
possible to think more about
sustainability without thinking
economic diversification and this
discussion it is not a discussion
easy
she is not ready she depends on
all of us
I discovered that what brings me here
that cold winter night was not
just one more
a simple professional experience
it was also a personal experience
very important is very emblematic
for those who work in mining
meet itapira is a must
itabira
despite this identity despite
to offer
despite being culturally strong despite
is in the world through his art
through its people through the
mining but not only
mining
she still lives with 20 as the
intimate urban mining one
almost intimate coexistence
utility agency requires dialogue
care respect mourning and this relationship
it is very important for all of us who
she is becoming more and more respectful hostage
that it will open more and more
possibilities and paths for the future
all the discussions here make us
think about this future and know life
for me it was beyond very emblematic
from a professional point of view
from a personal point of view and did not
I said that the old one
feeling that I had in relation to
My father knows that work affects and
emotion together and today travels
I know many places around the world and
I venture to say that you do know
place is to know your people is to know
his trade is to know of his struggle for
survival and knows the
solidarity that make up his
identity and who knows the wave without
doubt a way to meet us
also to reinforce the importance and
proud of our origins and know that the
authority and diversity is that
make up our identity
