Ubirajara! : memória, tradição e conflitos do carnaval Autor(es): Alcântara, Maria Eugênia Amorim Galvão de Orientador: Santos, Rita de Cássia Melo Abstract: This study stems from my passion for Carnival and, in particular, Carnival groups. During a discussion about collective memory and festivals, I learned about the “Tribo de Índio Ubirajara do Rangel” group, which has been a part of João Pessoa’s Carnival for over 70 years and serves as a socio-educational space for young people in the region. My goal is to analyze and explore this space, as well as its members, observing how this memory is constructed and establishes relationships that shape the identities present there. I also aim to understand the significance of Carnival and the group in shaping them as participants and characters in Brazilian culture, in both historical and contemporary contexts. Drawing on Leda Martins’ (2021) understanding of the importance of gatherings for the formation of memory and identities—and how rich they are in social and cultural dynamics—I highlight that every Tuesday and Thursday, from September through March, Ubirajara meets to dance, let loose, and have fun. I also seek to understand how Carnival is constituted by both individual and collective memory (Halbwachs, 1950; Pollak, 1989; Rios, 2013). Through the concept of “coetaneity” proposed by Fabian (2006), I reflect—based on my ethnographic experience—on the ways of learning I experienced alongside the members of Ubirajara, which led me, through play and sharing, to form friendships and bonds that were fundamental to my understanding of my field of study. Methodologically, I used recorded, semi-structured interviews and informal conversations, in addition to attending rehearsals and studying participants’ life trajectories to understand the carnival as they practice it. Finally, I focused on investigating the nature of the conflicts that are staged but also experienced on the ground due to the process of factionalization within the peripheral communities of João Pessoa. Therefore, I seek to observe how the existence of this tradition is also linked to the structural, territorial, economic, and social struggles that traditional groups face in order to continue moving forward Editor: Universidade Federal da Paraíba Tipo: TCC Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.ufpb.br/jspui/handle/123456789/39625 2026-08-12T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufpb.br/jspui/handle/123456789/39129 Título: Perfil sociodemográfico das juventudes em condição de privação de liberdade Autor(es): Gomes, Maria Fernanda de Araujo Orientador: Toscano, Geovânia da Silva Abstract: This study seeks to understand the social characteristics of incarcerated youth by analyzing data provided in penitentiary reports on the prison population of young people aged 18 to 29 held in physical detention facilities, between 2018 and 2025, that intends to identify the sociodemographic profile of youth under conditions of deprivation of liberty. Articulating general categories such as race, education level, gender, and age group. The research adopts a quantitative approach, based on the analysis of national and state penitentiary reports made available by the [National Secretariat for Penal Policies (SENAPPEN)] and other official agencies, with the objective of constructing a statistical overview capable of approximating the profile of youth and critically interpreting the social and political mechanisms that contribute to their concentration within the brazilian penitentiary system. The theoretical reference engages with Michel Foucault (2024), particularly his notions of discipline, surveillance, and the production of delinquency, understanding prison as a modern technology of power. It also draws on contributions from authors such as Angela Davis (2018) and Juliana Borges (2019), who highlight the relationships between incarceration, structural racism, class inequality, and drug policy, situating imprisonment as a historical continuation of forms of racial and social oppression. Additionally, authors such as Abramo (1997) and Abramovay and Castro (2015), among others, provide perspectives on brazilian youth. The research reveals data that offer insight into the population most affected by the prison system, the justice system, and so-called “anti-crime” policies: predominantly young, Black (both “pretos” and “pardos”), individuals with low education level or without having completed their formal education.

The methodology used is based on observational research conducted at the Severina Helena Municipal School in Caaporã, Paraíba, Brazil. The observation allowed for the monitoring of processes such as the frequent sending of videos and photographs, as well as daily interactions between teachers, coordinators, and management. The results show that transparency mechanisms acquire a performative character that shifts the focus of the work towards the production of formal evidence. Continuous monitoring, based on visual records, reconfigures pedagogical practice, increases the workload, and reduces teacher autonomy. Accountability impacts the school unevenly, especially in contexts marked by structural limitations, where demands tend to override the real teaching conditions. It concludes that, when implemented without adequate infrastructure and without dialogue with the needs of the school community, transparency mechanisms become surveillance devices that reorganize institutional daily life and strain educational practice. These results point to the need to adjust the monitoring model adopted so that transparency contributes to strengthening the work of teachers, and not to its excessive bureaucratization.

To this end, this study is based on the so-called dispositionalist sociology of Pierre Bourdieu (1989; 1994; 1996) and Bernard Lahire (2004; 2010), especially with regard to the notion of “dispositions” as an instrument with the potential to achieve an understanding of the contexts of the artisan community based on the dimensions of meanings and logics attributed to the actions of those researched, including their variations. In methodological terms, a research used the qualitative method, with the application of four in- depth interviews with artisans, among them, a master, a master and two artisans, whose profile represents, mostly women, self-declared mixed race or black, two from the interior region and two from the metropolitan region of João Pessoa, between the ages of 40-70 years, held within the scope of the 37th edition of the Salão do Artesanato Paraibano, in addition to observations and field notes, which helped to compose the analysis. As a result, it was possible to perceive a rural, interior origin, with little access to education and the transfer of artisanal knowledge in the family trajectory of the artisans, marked by dispositions oriented towards the value of work as central. On the other hand, investigations on an individual scale allowed me to identify differences that were invisible from afar: ways in which the habits incorporated by the arts and their updates, depending on the vivid contexts, are expressed in “stronger” or “weaker” ways, such as the desire to survive from crafts as the main source of income; practice popular knowledge or adapt to contemporary logic and seek recognition and visibility.
