Abstract

This work aims to understand the dynamics of production and organization of quadrilhas juninas from metropolitan area of Goiânia – GO. This work also has as theoretical contribution the reflection on the cultural performances field. The research distinguished itself by the analysis of the tension between the traditional and contemporary aspects found in the quadrilhas juninas, comprising the celebration and the spectacle. The period (2012 - 2013) of total immersion in the junino world proposes as a field research method the observational study of three groups of quadrilhas juninas. The backstage of quadrilhas juninas groups provided an interpretative analysis of the peculiarities of the visited groups allowing the interpretation of the data and a dense description of elements that concretize the communities involved. The reflections related to this work, point to the understanding of that, currently, the quadrilhas juninas, in the great Goiania/GO, coexist simultaneously with traditional elements that acquire new symbologies facing the transformations caused by the characteristic of spectacle that involves it. Thus the structures that comprises the new senses and meanings of the quadrilhas juninas dynamics aggregate tools of recognition, re-signification and identification through complex web of meanings, in this context analyzed by theory of culture, particularly the cultural performances.
