Abstract

From individual memories of a Londrina’s pioneer, Omeletino Benatto, this study aims to contribute to the discussion about memory, identity and belonging. For this purpose, three images were selected from the colonization period and described textually and orally by the pioneer, in the idea of photography as “memory trigger detonator” with the support of oral history technique. These images and descriptions point to a relation of belonging to the place, where he identifies himself, guided and inhabits. For the analysis some concepts were required as place, from Augé (1994), topophilia, from Tuan (1980) and considerations of authors such as Schutz, Lynch, Kossoy, Le Goff and Marques on history, photography, city and memory preservation.
