URBI ET ORBI Localização e globalização da canção popular paraense

Abstract

The doctoral thesis seeks to address, through a theoretical perspective of culture as an invention and the social process as a convention (WAGNER, 2012) and the agency of artistic objects (GELL, 1996), how a musical culture is characterized in its process, as a world artistic (BECKER, 2010), through associations of different colors (SIMMEL, 2006) consolidating a sound group (BLACKING, 2010) that operates in a context of worldwide interaction through globalizing processes (HANNERZ, 1996; CANCLINI, 2008; APPADURAI, 1994). I try to show that the world of contemporary Pará popular song is a social formation characterized as a social group marked by a certain stability in its actions and sociocultural perspectives and by different forms of interaction that are practiced among a diversity of members, intra and intergroup, which form networks of sociation and ataum in different dimensions, such as local and translocal scenes, the latter being taken from 1) connections between local artists with other artists already established in the Brazilian national scene, and 2) from the experiences of actors in transnational contexts. The form of data collection was based on the proposal of multi-sited ethnography (MARCUS, 1995), a fundamental element to compose the framework of elements to be analyzed, given the context marked by a certain dispersion of such data. The work is divided into two parts. The first, entitled Cultura Musical como Invenção is divided into four chapters: “Trajetória e campo”, “Invenção da cultura no mundo da canção popular paraense – I” “Invenção da cultura no mundo da canção popular paraense – II” e “Recriações na cultura musical paraense contemporânea: o caso do carimbó”. The second part, called Processo Musical como Convenção, comprises five chapters: “A cena local: os lugares da canção como espaço praticado para projetos”, “A cena translocal: projetos e práticas, redes e conexões”, “A cultura musical paraense em processos globais: fluxos, fronteiras e hibridações”, “Festival de Música Popular: a(tua)ção ritual no processo musical” e “A cena local em ambientações digitais: o Jambu Live como festivalização virtual”.
