No. of bitstreams: 1 Disserta??oEmily.pdf: 915346 bytes, checksum: e892202de976d1c85c12834f38a605be (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-08-14 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior - CAPES / The present work aims to analyze the consequences of the 1932 drought over the population of Jacobina and the region around, understanding how the drought disrupted the life of the country people, imposing the rural productive system collapse, forcing, mainly the most deprived population to resort to several ways of survival, among those ways , the feeding diet adaptation, it been necessary the use of seeds and wild roots to satisfy their hungry, besides the immigration and mining in the hills of Jacobina. Besides, this work analyses how the local power relations were built with the federal and estate sphere, and these with the population, with the aim of perceive how the population was assisted during the shortage period. The government, based on ideas of modernity and work, sought to enlist resources for the construction of large works, by means of which, the country people were used as cheap manpower. At the same time the poorest population was penalized by the consequences of the drought, local politicians appropriated the resources intended for the country people for their own benefit, showing that all were not as susceptible to drought. From the analysis of the local and regional press, work with the newspapers O Lidador, Correio de Bonfim e Correio do Sert?o, we aimed to comprehend the way that the news about the drought were transmitted, reinforcing the country people image as ?victim of the nature?, in certain moments as the interest of the periodicals looking for to get funds. Through the Hist?ria Oral we dialogued with narrators that shared with us their remembering about the times of need imposed by the drought and tactics adopted to confront it. / A presente disserta??o prop?e uma leitura dos aspectos sociais, pol?ticos, hist?ricos de Jacobina e regi?o, para compreender de que forma a seca desestruturou a vida dos sertanejos, impondo o colapso do sistema produtivo rural, obrigando, principalmente, a popula??o mais carente a recorrer a diversas t?ticas de sobreviv?ncia, dentre elas a adequa??o da dieta alimentar, sendo necess?ria a utiliza??o de sementes e ra?zes silvestres, para saciar a fome, al?m da emigra??o e a garimpagem nas serras de Jacobina. Analisa ainda, de que forma se configurou as rela??es entre os poderes locais com as esferas estaduais e federais, e estes com a popula??o, a fim de perceber de que forma a popula??o foi assistida durante o per?odo de escassez. Os governantes, baseados nos ideais de modernidade e trabalho, buscaram arregimentar recursos para a constru??o de grandes obras, por meios das quais os sertanejos eram usados como m?o de obra barata. Ao mesmo tempo em que a popula??o mais carente era penalizada pelas consequ?ncias da seca, os pol?ticos locais se apropriavam dos recursos destinados aos sertanejos para benef?cio pr?prio, demonstrando que nem todos estavam t?o suscet?veis ? seca. A partir da analise da imprensa local e regional, trabalhamos com os jornais O Lidador, Correio de Bonfim e Correio do Sert?o, buscamos compreender de que maneira as not?cias sobre a seca foram veiculadas, refor?ando a imagem do sertanejo enquanto ?v?tima da natureza? em determinados momentos conforme os interesses do peri?dico e pol?ticos locais, a fim de angariar recursos. Atrav?s da Hist?ria Oral dialogamos com narradores que dividiram conosco suas lembran?as sobre os momentos de pen?ria impostos pela seca e as t?ticas adotadas para enfrent?-la.
