"LUCAS, O SALTEADOR": :

Abstract

The objective of the article is to examine the construction of a unique memory about Lucas da Feira, between the years 1923-1924, in the journalistic chronicle entitled, Chronicas Feirenses, published in the Folha do Norte newspaper, by journalist, Arnold Silva. Paths are opened for understanding how the act of remembering enabled the construction of stereotyped representations about Lucas da Feira in the city, while the discourse produced expressed aspects of Western consciousness about blacks and the project to silence and erase the slave past. For that, we use the reflections proposed by Le Goff, Stuart Hall, Achille Mbembe
