Quem semeia vento colhe tempestade? Microrrealidades socioambientais transformadas pelo turismo em São Miguel do Gostoso – RN

This text studies the tourist city of Sao Miguel do Gostoso, from the theoretical and methodological viewpoint of Micro-History. The proposal is to highlight how micro-realities construct outstanding narratives about the place. For the argumentative foundation Micro-History is presented. This is the methodological route for the research construction that gave rise to this study. The methodological course of construction of the research was based on direct participant observation using semi structured interviews and analysis of films In this article, we made use of a sample with 16 subjects, out of a universe with 52 participants, here represented by: owners of sailing boats schools or marinas; municipal government members; association’s dweller members, NGOs and/or committees; religious representations, and dwellers representing local history. Therefore, our conclusions point to an indissociability between culture and nature, perceived within the intrinsic relation of environment and participants’ lives, as well as the urgency to think over micro-realities, so that we can reflect on tourism and plans for the future.
