ENTRE A MEMÓRIA, A HISTÓRIA E A HISTORIOGRAFIA DE MOVIMENTOS POPULARES DOS ANOS 1970 E 1980:

o caso do IAJES.

Abstract

In 2004, the first master's degree research began (PPH/UEM) with documents from the Instituto Administrativo Jesus Bom Pastor – IAJES, about the social movements that this progressive Catholic entity helped organize in Andradina-SP and the region, between 1969 and 1996. At that time, these documents were inaccessible to the public and were located in a precarious warehouse. The documentary sources housed there for ten years were mixed with clinical analysis laboratory equipment, offset printing, office furniture and other remnants of the various experiences produced in the decades in which the entity encouraged groups and movements against famine, women , the fight for health, neighborhood movement, constituent, acting under the premises of Liberation Theology, and in a network. Two decades later, IAJES continues to appear as an object of research, due to the power of its documentary collection and the richness of the social and political experience it engendered. If twenty years ago, we set out to learn about the trajectories of IAJES as an umbrella entity for urban popular movements in the Northwest of São Paulo, in this text, we will present the research trajectories and the state of knowledge of IAJES and its sources.
