A arte na sua cotidianidade: uma percepção de arte na Feira do Guamá

Abstract

This work develops an approach of the art as sociality from a focus on the daily life in the popular Market of the Guamá, Belém, in Brazilian Amazon. Therefore, using a frame of reference centered on Simmel and Meffesoli we start from a comprehensive perspective, watching the market as a "social form". We understand social form like a process resulting from the social construction of meaning that evolves continuously social relations. We figure out to realise how these social relations are produced from shared feelings: a feeling-together, common experiences, feelings, all kinds of emotions of the life, in short, that makes sense when are perceived and lived together. We propose that this feeling-together, here it treated, in the Market of Guamá, conforms social forms, which we identify as part of a process of "transmanência", this way producing an aesthetic and particular art, that results in the established relations in the commonplace of daily life.
