Resumo:
In this research we analyzed the representation of masculinity in the War of
Spades in Senhor do Bonfim, BA in period (1967-2010). In our analysis we
realize that masculinity has been represented from the cultural practice of War
Feast of Swords junina inserted in the town of Senhor do Bonfim, BA, to be
recognized as male-goat, fearless, brave. The documentary films selected and
analyzed during this research consists of local newspapers, academic papers,
essays public school students and pre-university preparatory course, lyrics,
poems, photographs, television reports, documentaries and oral testimonies of
the residents and participants party, made with semi-structured questions short
and direct and in local observation of the war. To achieve this research
dialogued with some authors, like Albuquerque Júnior (2003) with his reflections
on masculinity in the Northeast, about memory was instrumental analyzes
proposed by Alberti (2000), Halbwachs (1990) and Portelli (2010). Regarding
the concept of culture embasamos our reflections in the work proposed by
Certeau (1994), Chartier (1990) and an academic text of Albuquerque Junior.
About power relations and identity construction are fundamental propositions
proposed by Foucault (2005b) and Hall (2000a), respectively. Done this time
frame, spatial, and theoretical and methodological, we reflect on the June
Festival and War Swords while the stage of constructions and representations
of sensitivities to be analyzed in their discourse and practice suggest that this
event allows junino not only a sense , but a multiple meanings.
