Résumé:
This work is inserted in the field of Political Anthropology, where it observes the
electoral behavior of a political association whose "party culture" shows special features
on the Brazilian political tradition. This study intends to analyze in which way occurs in
PT the dialectic between the changing of electoral tactic and the party culture, focusing
on the case of Paraíba. Based on the historical analysis of the party's accomplishment
on the state elections (the major and the relative one) since 1982 and culminating in an
ethnographic approach of the 2010 electoral process, we tried to identify the impacts of
the alliances politics on the party culture, on the militancy and leaderships behavior over
the electoral performance, as well as on its influences on the party internal dynamics
and its public image.
