Feira de São Cristovão: a reconstrução do nordestino num mundo de paraíbas e nortistas

A presente dissertação estuda uma feira nordestina, a Feira de são Cristóvao, situada na zona norte do Rio de Janeiro e que se realiza há mais de trinta anos. Mostra o surgimento desta Feira como vinculado ao fenômeno das migrações nordestinas para as grandes cidades do Centro-Sul nos primeiros anos da década de 50. Reconstitui a história da Feira onde se evidencia a existência de formas associativas. Estas, disputaram entre si, através de mecanismos autoritários, o domínio e a exploração da Feira até a sua legalização em 1982. Focaliza a maneira como o nordestino migrante se apropriou do espaço da Feira, registrando as principais características desse espaço. Discute o significado de paraiba e nortista. Paraiba, denominação de cunho depreciativo, é dada ao migrante originário do Nordeste pelos demais habitantes da cidade; nortista, é a autodenominação que o nordestino se atribui para sua identificação. Analisa, como uma das manifestações específicas da Feira, a produção e venda da comida regional. Esta é produzida através de práticas e técnicas sedimentadas na educação do senso comum caracterizando um tipo de saber que é próprio das classes populares. Finalmente, trata de conhecer e interpretar a Feira de São Cristóvão como um espaço de expressão da cultura popular que contribui no processo de reconstrução da identidade do nordestino na cidade que o batizou de paraíba.

Música, filosofia, formação: por uma escuta sensível do mundo

La musique, plus qu`um mot et le texte écrit, a le pouvoir de produire le déplacement du sujet en relation aux contingences du temps e de l´espace. Entendre de la musique est plus que de l´amusement. Comme un artifice cognitif qui ultrapasse l´expérience analytique e métonymique, les formes tonales doublent la réalité, expandent les sens, actionent l´imagination, retotalisent les sentiments, amplient les expériences, permettent la rencontre du sujet avec les éssences des phénomènes qui ne sont pas traductibles par les mots. Nous écoutons de la musique pour restituer notre dignité e conférer à la vie plus de vérité, plus de concrétion (Santiago Kovadloff). La mélodie permet l´expérimentation des états de cohésion, de conéction pleine entre sens et intention, entre commencement et fin, de la finitude de la vie (Schopenhauer). Le phénomène musical provoque l´expréssion de la douleur, de la souffrance et, au même temps, du jubile et de la joie, réliant nature et homme (Nietzsche). Tenant comme base cette compréhension, la dissertation tient dans la musique une importante métaphore pour comprendre la complexité humaine, une fois qu´elle propicie une écoute sensible du monde et mobilise dans le sujet l´expérimentation de divers états de l´être. Nous pouvons dire que la musique est un opérateur de la conaissence parce qu´elle fait affleurer l´écoute intérieure, la rencontre du sujet avec lui même. Cet opérateur cognitif actione les pôles de l´ésprit qui font dialoguer sensibilité, éthique et esthétique, ordre et chaos, silence et bruit, mouvement et pause, repétition et inovation. Par l´expérience musicale, nous habitons des formes hibrides de sensibilité et raison. L´inachèvement, notre principal caractéristique comme humains, a, dans la musique, une image impair, parce que la musique est l´expression du dévir. Pour tisser ces arguments, la dissertation part des études de Schopenhauer et Nietzsche sur la musique, esthétique et métaphysique; Expose des fragments de la biographie de trois grands penseurs contemporains (Werner Heinsenberg, Ilya Prigogine et Edgar Morin) accentuant la présence de la musique en ses vies; et, par fin, présente ce que nous appelons biographies sonores de quatre artistes-musiciens brésiliens (Benedito Juarez et Gil Jardim, de São Paulo, et Ronaldo Ferreira de Lima et, Cleudo Freire, du Rio Grande do Norte)
