Ap?s o fim da extra??o da scheelita, a mina foi transformada em um ?Parque Tem?tico?, em 2004. A empresa imprimiu sua marca na cidade com a constru??o de monumentos que fazem referencia ? atividade mineira e ao seu fundador Tomaz Salustino. No entanto, n?o existem registros escritos sobre os primeiros garimpeiros nem sobre o sistema de explora??o do min?rio em seu in?cio. Conv?m ent?o coletar as mem?rias dos mineradores e perguntar se, ao longo das mais de cinco d?cadas em que durou o auge da minera??o, se construiu uma identidade ligada ? profiss?o; em que medida os trabalhadores fazem referencia a esta hist?ria como integrantes e quais s?o os s?mbolos que est?o sendo acionados na elabora??o de uma identidade oper?ria. Investigo ainda que mem?ria se constituiu em torno dos pioneiros, em sua maioria agricultores atra?dos pelo chamado da bateia. Para isso, recorro aos recursos audiovisuais de arquivo e aos registros orais dos interlocutores que foram filmados para a elabora??o do document?rio ?Lembran?as de velhos garimpeiros?. Notamos que, no script da hist?ria oficial da Mina Breju?, a figura do ?patr?o? se sobrep?e ? dos trabalhadores e que as formas de patronagem, oriundas do mundo rural, seguiram pontuando as rela??es sociais na mina. Hoje, com a retomada da atividade, ? poss?vel que renas?a o desejo de fortalecimento da classe oper?ria e da identidade mineira no sert?o do Serid?. / The Breju? Mine, situated in the municipality of Currais Novos (RN), was responsible for the local economy growth between the years of 1943 and 1990, causing the interest of miner's working class to its urban center. After the end of scheelita extraction, the mine became a "theme park", in 2004. The company left its mark on the city by building several monuments in reference to the mining activity and the company's founder, Tomaz Salustino. However, there are no written records that describe such activities on its early years, nor their pioneers in the mining subject. Therefore, it is important to investigate the miner?s memories and ask if, along the more than five decades that lasted the heyday of mining, an identity linked to the profession was built; the extent to which workers make reference to this history as membersand what are the symbols that are being triggered in the development of a working class identity. Further, I investigate what memory was mad concerning the pioneers, mostly farmers attracted by miner work. To do so, I make use of audiovisual archival resources and oral records of the interlocutors that were filmed in the preparations of the documentary ?Lembran?as de velhos garimpeiros". We have noticed that, in the script of the official history of the Breju? Mine, the "boss" figure overlaps the workers and that the forms patronage, originated from the rural world, followed punctuating the social relations in the mine. Today, with the resumption of the mining activity, it is possible that the strengthening of the working class and the Serid? miner identity desire reborn.
