ABSTRACT
Based on biographical narratives of two women, former metallurgists and active members of the ABC Metalworkers Union (SMABC, in Portuguese) between the 1970s and 1990s, this paper aims to analyze the transmission and learning process of these memories within families in order to understand not only their continuity, but, above all, the way that they are received by new generations. The results suggest that the contrast between different social contexts and the reinterpretation of these memories show the fractures in the modes of appropriation and political engagement by new generations.
