ORGANIZATION AND STRENGTHENING OF A GROUP SOCIAL LINKED TO POPULAR CULTURE AND CONQUEST ITS SPACE IN THE SOCIO-CULTURAL SCENARIO OF RECIFE: THE CASE OF CULTURAL ASSOCIATIONS (CARNAVALESCAS) OF BOIS DE CARNIVAL

Abstract

This essay is an effort to analyse the role of the organization and powerful processes of a cultural group called ‘Bois de Carnaval’ relating to the popular culture in Recife – situated in Pernambuco state – in order to get its space in the social-cultural scenery of the city; and this happens under a geographic perspective of which the space is, at the same time, a body and a relationship as a complexity and totality, always in motion. So we drew some elements with reference to the organization and powerful processes of the ‘Bois de Carvaval’ in order to obtain its social acknowledgements; we caught the cultural group´s eye about the importance to know and create relashionships with others social-space actors; we showed up the need to bild new thoughts and practices regarding social actions; and we pointed out some problems to be resolve in the process of social movement. These four tasks were outlined in order to find the real social and philosophical nature of the production of geographic space.
