Heteronomia do Boi-Bumbá de Parintins: mecanismos de controle do folguedo de rua ao espetáculo

Abstract

The rivalry between the Bumbás Caprichoso and Garantido has been present since its genesis, but has passed and undergoes transformations throughout its history of practices and relationships. This text aims to point out the transformations by which the bumbás went from a street’s “folguedo” to the show expressed in the Parintins Folk Festival. For this, a bibliographical and exploratory research was carried out in order to record the origin and duels of the Bois-Bumbás Caprichoso and Garantido as a street’s “folguedo” and its evolution to diplomacy and consequently to leisure. In this course of change, it is evident the dichotomous and antithetical relationship between autonomy and heteronomy present in the struggle between ruptures and cultural permanence to attract, year after year, thousands of people to Tupinambarana Island in search of pleasurable emotions.
