Abstract:
Music, besides being aesthetic and sonically pleasing, can say much more than what
the ear can hear. This dissertation, based on the studies of Cultural History, aims to
present a proposal for an analysis of the influence of cultural manifestations in the
city of Monteiro - PB, where musical culture is understood as an object that has
provided visibility and social progresses, economic and cultural transformations in the
municipality, it also has changed the dynamics of the place, especially in the last 30
years, valuing through administrative actions for cultural preservation. Thus,
analyzing the culture of the place, it8s necessary to think about the development of
the city based on it, the agents involved, the processes produced, the ways in which
society experiences and consumes culture and, especially, whether the native
population feels inserted in this space, since it is these characters who will contribute
to unleashing a History that will seek to find the historical chords that highlight this
cultural force. To carry out this analysis, we relied on the studies of Demo (1985 and
1998); Chartier (1988); Hall (2006); Napolitano (2002); Pesavento (2012), among
other authors as theoretical support to understand the concepts and mechanisms
regarding the treatment of the objects researched. In this segment, the study will be
methodologically supported by qualitative research, a necessary support for this type
of research, which legitimizes the procedures that will be developed and which make
it possible to identify the object being researched, in this case, how Cultural History
and Oral History - through semi-structured interviews with participants from Monteiro
involved in music and culture in the city 3 these instruments can be fields of
possibilities in helping the studies of practices and representations that circulate in
and through society.
