Este sim, veio para alegrar toda a gente : visualidades artísticas do cordão última hora do carnaval das águas, Cametá (PA)

Abstract

This dissertation is a research that aims to analyze the visuality and creative process of the masks, the banner and the letters on the boat of the carnival group “Última Hora”, and last but not least to describe the creative process of the “Última Hora” typography and the audiovisual documentary created to this dissertation with material recorded on video between the years 2014 and 2019. In the first path, I tell a brief history of Cametá and the TenTém Community, with the help of Raimundo Coelho's studies (2012). I use the research of Georg Simmel (2009) and João de Jesus Paes Loureiro (2015) on the Amazon landscape and visuality respectively to reflect the landscape surrounding the rivers and affluents of the TenTém river. In the second path, I use the studies of Felipe Ferreira (2004) and Miguel Santa Brígida Junior (2006) to deal with the concepts and origins of Carnival, Eric Hobsbawm (2008) on tradition and Michel Maffesoli (1986) on the feeling of collectivity of the TenTém community. Following on the third path, I use the studies by Richard Sennet (2013) on the role of Vital 2 as artificer, Martine Joly (2015) on artistic image analysis, Fayga Ostrower (2016), and again João de Jesus Paes Loureiro (2015) about the boats and their decorative lettering. In the fourth path, the memorial is begun, where I describe the creative process of the “Última Hora” typography and the audiovisual documentary with the recorded field research material during the 2014/2019 carnival period.
