摘要：More than a biological and individual mechanism, memory represents a process
related to the social nature of human beings. Understood as the possibility of
revisiting the past, memory allows us to recall and recreate events with perceptions
in the present. Literature, in turn, can be recognized as an artistic expression
through which human beings find pleasure, self-knowledge, reflection and
immortalization. In light of this, the relationship between memory and literature is
highlighted in this paper. The stories in our memory provide a taste for reading
and literary production in the same proportion in which literature serves memory,
for it has the power to immortalize spaces, times and memories. Hence, literature
can be seen as a preferred means for understanding aspects regarding the
constitution of collective memory. With the objective of establishing relationships
between literature and memory, this article reports the experience of educators and
students at Cônego Getúlio Municipal School, in the district of Pilar, municipality
of Patos de Minas, Brazil. The study aimed at contributing to the construction of
identity and valorization of local culture based on a collection of the region's
history as well as the practice of text production.
