Nos bailes da História: relações de gênero e identidades em foco nas Braúnas/Baraúnas de 1950-1960.

Abstract

The studies focused on type, in the Field of the contemporaty historygrafhy, include a great space for reflections in relation to man and woman being; and their identities, so that they can be revised and analysed in a relationship context. So, this work seeks to solve questions about the historical formation of the “Braúnas”/”Baraúnas” in the 1950’s and 1960’s, from the relationships among types in the social spaces and leisure produced. It also focuses on the identities formed for the man and woman in this social and cultural space, as well as they were established and dissolved. This way, according to analyses based on oral sources, parish records, pictures and songs, it gave rise three chapters named “bailes”. The first one is defíned by the historical formation of the “Braúnas”/”Baraúnas” thorough social meetings next to the chapei, the second one takes the terrace built between the chapei and the tavem on consideration (that were important in the organization of leisure and social meetings), in addition to investigating and questioning the relationships of types and identity formed through the nine-days of devotion and prayer, the crop and holy lady event, the “boi de reis”, the movies show-ofif and the “pano de roda”. The last one analyses the “forró” as cultural spaces done by types and sensitivity creators, through the five senses. From this perspective, the production of visual, hearing, touch, smell and flavor scenery, is showed in the construction of the space as celebration. Over the chapters, it was discussed dates and marriages, as well as their participation in the formation of the society in question along the time. So that this study would concluded, some authors were questioned. Such as Certeau, who reflects about history, everyday, culture, and actions in the space; Del Priore and Pinsky, who discuss relationships among types; Hall and Pesavento, who know about identity and sensitivity formation, respectively.
