A caçada da rainha em colinas do sul: um diálogo entre lugar e identidades

Abstract

The “Queen of the Hunt” is a cultural event that takes place in a more traditional way, in the municipality of Colinas do Sul in the state of Goiás and refers to the time of the Brazilian Empire. Participants dress in accordance with their duties, the main are: king, queen, emperor, soldier of the royal guard and others. In this article we argue that the party, through ties of residents and their symbols, signs and representations that come to demarcate a unique culture of the festival in the state, featuring the presence of the place and so needs to be identified and spatialized. Through the Cultural Geography, cultural events gain strength characterized by fresh take on the festive subjects and their customs, discussing the different, the circumstances and modes of representation. Its importance is focused on the analysis of the meaning and the goal is to understand a traditional festival that perspective. It is also investigating how this ritual acts in the transformation of the space in place and creating instead of identities and participants subject. For the achievement of such goals the methodology focused on the theoretical basis and field research that enabled the identification of symbols, feelings, emotions, feelings and meanings of the subject. Inthis sense was reflected also on the human dimension and its connection with the environment, essential to identify the “Queen of the Hunt” as a fact of interaction between subject and space set to place.
