Abstract

The aim of this work is to look at how memory operates through the discourse of three speakers who use memory to report on issues of Luanda's popular and traditional festivals. In addition to the initial concern, our interest will also focus on the importance of recording the subjects' memories so that these records can be useful for the dissemination of Luandan culture and the possibility of being a bridge for future research on Luanda's popular and traditional festivals. As a methodology: we recorded the narratives with a sound recorder, therefore we transcribed the essential and finally analysed the records. As a result, we found that there are differences in the universe of memory, its operationalization is quite complex. Luanda's popular and traditional festivals carry stories that are submerged and associated with the lived and can be accessed through the record and oral tradition.
