Tradição e tradução: festa e etnicidade entre os imigrantes açorianos nos E.U.A.

O autor analisa a recriação das Festas dos Espírito Santo pelas comunidades açorianas dos E.U.A. na viragem do século XXI, nomeadamente a tensão entre fidelidade à tradição e inovação. A retórica tradicionalista e etnomimética coexiste com um conjunto de adaptações ao novo contexto social e cultural. Nas sociabilidades subjacentes à Festa, o protagonismo de círculos sociais da terra de origem - a família, o parentesco, a freguesia - convive com a importância das novas identidades forjadas na imigração.

Palestinos no extremo sul do Brasil : identidade étnica e os mecanismos de produção da etnicidade. Chuí/RS

Este trabalho trata da identidade palestina e dos processos sociais de construção de identidade étnica observados no extremo sul do Brasil. Focaliza os processos de recriação de tradições e as negociações sociais que agiram no sentido de configurar um grupo étnico. Este estudo é uma etnografia desenvolvida a partir da observação participante e da análise de documentos produzidos pelos entrevistados que vivem na Chuí (Rio Grande do Sul) na fronteira entre Brasil e Uruguai. Através da investigação de uma das falas recorrentes - “aqui é tudo palestino” -, revela-se o universo de situações sociais e negociações que configuram uma identidade social e os conflitos envolvidos na produção de uma “comunidade árabe” como um grupo minoritário. Analisa-se as expressões da identidade social relativas a um reconhecimento como palestinos, focalizando as diversas ações empreendidas do início da década de 80 até o fim dos anos 90. O estudo aborda os mecanismos e processos sociais que deram vitalidade à identidade social e à proeminência de uma identidade étnica, entre eles: as viagens à Palestina e o modo como estas viagens incidem sobre a descoberta da identidade palestina; as festas de casamentos que estreitam laços entre famílias e que reverberam na produção de uma “família árabe”; e o interesse pela política partidária local como um palco específico em que uma identidade social se configura como identidade étnica, traçando fronteiras simbólicas e revitalizando a preocupação com os destinos e lideranças da “comunidade árabe”.

...Em busca da realidade... : a experiência da etnicidade dos Eleotérios (Catu/RN)

The south region of the Rio Grande do Norte has been historically recognized as a place of old indian villages. Inhabitants of the edges of the Catu River, border between the cities of Canguaretama and Goianinha, the Eleotérios in the threshold of 21st century had passed to be seen and self recognized as "remaining indians" of the RN. Their ethnic mobilizations, when becoming public had placed to the intellectual and political fields an old question to be reflected on: the asseverations concerning the "indian disappearing" in the State. This item brings with it other implications. Accessed by a para-oficial indigenism, the Eleotérios had started to establish political relations with the Potiguara indians of the Baía da Traição/PB and the Indian Movement, feeling stimulated to produce and to reproduce forms of social differentiation. In this context, this research is worried about elucidating the process of construction of the ethnicity among the Eleotérios, percepted from the social relations and politics kept with the amplest society, into a particular historical situation involving sugar cane fields owners, proprietaries, militants, researchers, ambiental agencies. The effects of these political and social relations had been extended, making Eleotérios appear to the society as susceptible social actors to the specific policies for the aboriginal populations

Os forrós da Serra da Gameleira (São Tomé/RN) : etnicidade, festa e sociabilidade

This work intends to describe and analyze the parties of forró that happen in Serra da Gameleira, in São Tomé/RN. Serra is a divided social space: groups of different ethnic origins live together in Gameleira de Baixo, Salgadinho (or Gameleira de Cima) and Chaves Belas. They are approximately two hundred families that live exclusively from agriculture. We try to understand how the parties inform about the social organization, the ethnic composition of the families that live there and the past of Serra, through the genealogy offorró players. In the discussion, we identify the festive places: in the total, we have Five houses of forró that function regularly one of them has been described. The private and public spaces inside them are intimate related, with no clear limits between the house of forró and the residence. Each house of forró has an owner, that regularly makes the parties, mobilizing a big part of the inhabitants, and provoking the straitening of the social relations. Observing the festive sociability between different social segments, the forró appears like na element that minimizes social conflicts, providing news ways of association and cooperation in the space of Serra da Gameleira. For the collection of facts, we used the ethnographic method, through the direct observation, interviewing and documentary research. The local history is recounted following the routes of oral memory and historical documents analysis. In the end of the analysis, we concluded that music and party are elements that aggregate the different groups that live in the location and determine forms of expression of what is seen as a traditional culture

É a luta da gente! : juventude e etnicidade na comunidade Quilombola de capoeiras (RN)

On this paper, I propose a reflexion on the formation of a youth maroon, as a political subject , based on experience, personal expectations and social projects in the construction of a political identity in the community quilombola Capoeiras, which is located in the district of Macaíba (RN).

It seeks to understand the place of youth in this new context of political affirmation and identity. It is, therefore, to understand the diversity in their local youth from different social, cultural, political and economic
