Resumo
The socio-spatial dynamics implemented by territorial modernization and its consequent influences cannot stop the remarkable presence of the peasantry and its cultural manifestations in Formosa / GO. The municipality has its origins in the cattle ranchers and dealers in salt and charque, in the XVIIIth century, who settled in the region. They founded Arraial dos Couros and inaugurated agricultural norms that persist today as activity developed in the field. Locally, livestock are raised from different breeds and purposes from the peasant way of production to grand capitalist property. In these same territories, which make up a diverse agrarian space, there are traditional folias de roça: festivals that have been celebrated in the region since the days of its first occupants. The research aims to analyze how these festivals—that integrate the way of life and daily life of the peasantry—contribute to the culture as a form of peasant resistance. Bibliographic survey and data collection were methodologies that accompanied the development of this study. The participative research with unstructured interviews was adopted when we participated in the giro of two folias de roça that represent the sacred Divine Holy Spirit of Catholics in the municipality: Folia da Roça de Formosa and Folia do Quilombo. In the field, there were integrations with the feasts and their participants, accompanying the rhythms and the religiosity, trying to understand the importance of the culture and the territory for the local peasantry. In this research we show that the culture, based on the cultural manifestations of the folia de roça, is allied to socio-cultural and socioeconomic factors, strengthening the peasant territorial identity in Formosa / GO, and contributing to the affirmation and resistance of the peasants in their territories against territorial modernization. In society and in the capitalist system, peasants use many means to conquer, secure, and remain on the land.
