Idas-vindas, afeições e desencontros: itinerários musicais e circuitos de nós e dos outros

Abstract

This dissertation, entitled “Idas-Vindas, Afeições e Desencontros: itinerários musicais e circuitos de nós e dos outros”,developed in conjunction with the Graduate Program in Society and Culture at the State University of Piauí, proposes the analysis of musical events that occur between the groups Reação do Gueto and Baile Afrosamurai in the city of Teresina, capital of Piauí. The analyses are qualitative and quantitative, based on ethnography and photoethnography - ethnography should be understood as a specific way of knowing the social life, sound and cosmologies that permeate the collection of information, later transformed into data from the dialogue with the person. For the fieldwork, the methodological path is being based on the ethnographic approach and life history, extracting oral testimonies and memories portrayed through narratives and reports so that we can investigate the socializations of the groups analyzed, based on participant observation using a field diary, notes, audio and video recordings. We understand the scope of the relationships that constitute the musical event as a relationship of overdetermination of experiences, highlighting the importance of performance in the exchanges that mobilize music in the interrelation between expressive (performative) cultures, sound (space- time) and movement (the displacement of agencies). The groups Reação do Guetto and Baile Afrosamurai, respectively, present meetings mobilized around Hip-hop and bailes funk in the city of Teresina, constituting their musical events an intersection between the musicians (musicking), the sounds that are anchored in their relative expressive cultures and the actions that justify the displacements of people. This research is established by connecting with the multiplication and expansion of the notions of person (human and non-human) and musician through the perception of other ontologies that inhabit the cosmos and are constituted by sounds and music.
