Résumé:
As readers eager for new horizons and landscapes of the past, invite them to this path in
search of new meanings about the centenary of Campina Grande (1964). This is an
investigation about the theatricality of power, supported the construction and symbolic
imagery. We conduct our research theoretically from the debate with the New Political
History, in this reasoning, dialogue with the authors in the field of teatrocracia as
Balandier and Geertz. We adopt as a research newspaper Diário da Borborema that
circulated in the period, and the books of the Minutes of the City Council of Campina
Grande, songs produced for the centenary, sticker album and photographs about the
festive event. Methodologically we have guided the analysis of discourse, impressions
and observations produced contact with our sources, with the worry of going beyond the
purely written, in order to understand their speech because of power relations. In this
scenario, we want to decode the festivals, rites and ceremonies like the letters of an
alphabet.
