Jackson do Pandeiro o rei do ritmo: a construção de um artista monumento.

Abstract

This work analyzes as emerged in the last few decades of the century XX and beginning of the XXI in Alagoa Grande/ PB city, a game of images and responsible discourses for the construction of the Paraiban singer and composer José Gomes Filho, the "Jackson do Pandeiro", in an Artist-monument of the local culture. It investigates the conditions of possibilities through which the Paraíba and the hometown of the musician involved in a movement of revaluation of the local cultures, react the image of King of the rhythm attributed to Jackson transforms him in a monument of the Paraiban music, a school to be followed for the musicians of the future generations. Thus, based about the perspective archaeo-genealogical offered by Foucault (2012; 2003) to verify like is, through the history, the constitution of a subject that isn't definitely readymade and finished but that constitutes in the inner of the own history, and that is constantly, to each moment founded, refounded or reworked within itself, decomposes the lines of agency that were responsible to construct himself such what the know in the present tense: a monument of the music/ Paraiban culture. Thereby, analyzing some discursive clews responsible to construct itself based in this view, we observe that these emerged through two temporalities: in the 50s and 60s, climax of his career, and in the 80s, when his history started to be writing again been as function to promote a "rescue" of the past, support of a cultural musical been as authentic/ true of the state/region, threatened for the poetic of the cultural destabilization engendered at the end of the century XX and at the beginning of the XXI. Thus, investigating the cultural landscape of revival of his memories in the scene of Paraíba post decade of 80, were analyzed newspapers, magazines, interviews, homages, and a biography "Jackson do Pandeiro King of the Rhythm", cast for the publishing company 34 in 2001. This regards to hometown of the musician, analyzed the construction of "Jackson do Pandeiro" while an Artistmonument of this spatiality, mapping the movement through what the municipal administration, seeking to bring sight to the city over the image of the musician, as we can observe in 2008 with the construction of a gateway in form of tambourine in the entrance of the city with a sign having this sentence: "Alagoa Grande: land of Jackson do Pandeiro", and the inauguration of the "Memorial Jackson do Pandeiro" in December, 2008. Investigated also the conjunct of handicraft in the "I Hall of Artisan from Alagoa Grande - Jacksonianas Hands", an amalgam of objects and images that were based in commercial interests and tourism of the municipality appropriate of the image of artist to promotion of the local culture, showing that the work of reactivation of the image of the musician in the municipality it also based of a desire commercial-tourism to the promotion of the local culture. At last, analyzed as these discourses were received for the local citizens, the form as the inhabitants were subjective for the file of images and discourses constructed and publicized in the last few years in this spatiality, observing that there is in the city a battle of memories about the played rhythm, for above the image of the citizen-monument elaborated to the same, there is in the municipality a dissident memory that breaks the "hegemonic" image of the artist in the place, a "prohibited memory'7 "clandestine", that it invents another discourses about this, attributes another image, another body, another identity out of the molds constructed for the official memory.
