However, we can not observe the emergence of this activity just as voracious disarticulator of old local forms of sociability that in a linear process, destroys the old, replacing it with the new. New compositions are generated by merging elements of past and present. Overcoming opposition to simplistic positive or negative impacts of tourism sought especially in this dissertation, review the history of Pipa (told in narrative form), showing how slowly this district has become a major international tourist destination and how its residents were being swallowed by the "whirlwind" that led to this reality. The research used qualitative methodology and was based on photographic, literature and survey, observation, experience, oral and written reports acquired in the field. We conducted in-depth interviews (oral history) with subjects that are the living memory of the place local residents (mostly natives). We found that before the process of "modernization" resulting from the pressure of globalization itself and the capital investment in tourism resulting from the native population is not passive. On the contrary, natives resist, creating mechanisms of material and symbolic reformulations. The present moment is always dynamic. Because of that, the identity of a place is not the crystallization of its past. Many landscapes still reveal materialities of yesteryear, such as registration of social practices in the construction of the place / A avassaladora engrenagem que impulsionou o turismo, enquanto principal atividade econ?mica de Pipa - distrito outrora agr?rio e pesqueiro, pertencente ao munic?pio de Tibau do Sul/RN - produziu mudan?as significativas nos aspectos sociais, econ?micos e culturais da popula??o nativa desse lugar onde as rela??es sociais eram estreitas e fundamentadas, em alguns casos, pela linha de parentesco, num ambiente onde todos se conheciam. No entanto, n?o podemos observar a emerg?ncia dessa atividade apenas como desarticuladora voraz de antigas formas de sociabilidade locais que, em um processo linear, destr?i o velho, substituindo-o pelo novo. Novas composi??es s?o geradas mesclando elementos do passado e presente. Superando a oposi??o simplista aos impactos positivos ou negativos do turismo, buscamos principalmente, nesta disserta??o, rever a hist?ria de Pipa (contada em forma de narrativa), mostrando como aos poucos este distrito tornou-se um importante destino tur?stico internacional e de que forma seus moradores foram sendo tragados pelo redemoinho que as levou ? presente realidade. A pesquisa utilizou metodologia qualitativa e fundamentou-se em levantamento fotogr?fico, bibliogr?fico e na pr?pria observa??o, experi?ncias, relatos orais e escritos adquiridos em campo. Realizamos entrevistas em profundidade (hist?ria oral) com sujeitos que constituem a mem?ria viva do lugar moradores locais (majoritariamente nativos). Constatamos que diante do processo de moderniza??o decorrente da press?o exercida pela pr?pria globaliza??o e pelo capital resultante do investimento tur?stico, a popula??o nativa n?o ? passiva. Pelo contr?rio: ela resiste, criando mecanismos de reformula??es materiais e simb?licas. Por ser o presente din?mico, a identidade de um lugar n?o ? a cristaliza??o de seu passado. Muitas paisagens ainda revelam materialidades de tempos passados, como inscri??o das pr?ticas sociais na constru??o do lugar
