Resumo
This thesis navigates the waters of memory and the present of llha das Caieiras, a traditional community in Vitoria/ES, guided by the metaphor of the "Time Canoer". From an insider perspective, as a daughter of the tide, we investigate how this community, woven through orality and a visceral relationship with the mangrove forest, deals with the intense social, economic, and cultural transformations resulting from its projection as a tourist and gastronomic hub. The central objective is to understand the dynamics between collective memory, identity, and belonging in this process of reinventing the place. The methodology combines Oral History, to access the narratives and subjectivities of the residents — especially the elders and knowledge keepers (grios e mestras) —, with Ethnography, to observe current practices, tensions, and new social configurations. Documentary research and archaeological analysis, including the discovery of sambaqui (shell mound) vestiges, complement the study, deepening the understanding of the occupation's temporality. The thesis is structured in three parts: the Remote Past and the formation of the riverine habitus; the Lived Present, focused on reconstructing the memory of the refuge and community resilience in the face of stigma; and the Disputed Future, which analyzes the territory's conversion into a spectacle, the invention of tradition as a commodity, the redefinitions of belonging (natives vs. immigrants), and the role of the new "architects of the future" and places of memory, such as the Fisherman's Museum (Museu do Pescador). It is concluded that the Island responds to transformation through a continuous process of identity negotiation and cultural reinvention, using memory as an active resource but also as a field of dispute, in a complex balance between preserving its roots and navigating new currents. The thesis presents itself as a "give-back" to the community, seeking to offer a mirror to its history and a tool for its future struggles
