Tempo e Narrativa na Amazônia Paraense: o plebiscito no Pará pela perspectiva do “Espaço do Leitor”

The article aims to identify and understand the narrative configuration on the plebiscite in Para from the “Reader Space”, a section of letters published in the newspaper Diario do Para. According to Paul Ricoeur’s perspective, narrative configuration is related to the temporal character of human existence. We adopt Ricoeur’s theoretical philosophy and its stages of mimesisin the pre-comprehension of the narrative and the technique of analysis of communication, proposed by Motta (2013), as configuration of intrigue. Looking at a sample of 16 reader letters, we observed that the developmental point of view, associated with emotional and political frameworks, structured the narratives on the creation of two States: Carajas and Tapajos.
