Festival Rio Ouricuri: música, arte e sustentabilidade no interior da Amazônia paraense

Abstract

This piece of work has as its object of research to understand possible constructions of society and identity present in the city of Capanema, state of Pará, using the agenda of the 3rd virtual edition of the Rio Ouricuri Festival. The research seeks to understand the communicative phenomena present in the 3rd edition of the Rio Ouricuri Festival. In order to execute the research, structured interviews were carried out with several subjects involved in the production process, musical presentation and media presentation of the Festival. We seek to briefly recover, from bibliographic records, the contextualization of the cultural formation to present at the Festival in its third edition. Such interviews were carried out in February 2022. This dissertation is motivated by the hypothesis of the existence of an Amazon that exists in Capanema, a peripheral city that is different from the image traditionally conveyed in the wider media, especially TV, radio, print media and news portals. In that way, the existence of an Amazon beyond the reductionist images, urban/forest/riverside, promoted by the media. In our understanding, this dichotomy makes the subjects of urban peripheral Amazon invisible, such as medium-sized cities like Capanema. The research is related to the idea of being-together enunciated by Maffesoli (2006), sociation processes by Simmel (1983), and uses a methodology that has bibliographic research, qualitative research with a semi-open interview instrument gathered from the collection of oral records and content analysis of those speeches.
