Etnografia da fanfarra no contexto do desfile cívico de Rio Tinto

Abstract

From July to September, in Rio Tinto - PB, a musical community is formed, composed of marching bands, fanfares, and music bands, on the occasion of civic-military parades during the “Semana da Pátria”, and band gatherings held in other cities after the seventh of september. This dissertation discusses a particular fanfare, the "Antônia Luna Lisboa" Fanfare, belonging to the school of the same name in the municipal education network. It deals with the conflicts that arise from these young people's pursuit of expressing themselves, with their musical tastes, uniforms, and choreographies, in the context of a traditionally more reserved festivity. To achieve this, it relies on interdisciplinary approaches, from Visual Anthropology, Music, and History, to studies of rituals and performances, memory, body, and gender, articulating methodologies such as participant observation, deferred observation, filmic anthropology, and shared anthropology.
