Abstract

This article investigates the process of building themed floats for the 2010 gaucho traditionalist parade in the sheds of the Complexo Cultural Porto Seco, place of the carnival parade in Porto Alegre. Based on Oliven's views (2006) on this state's regional identity, it examines the controversial relationship between traditionalism and carnival, developing thoughts on the building of identity of both parties. The process of 'spectacularizaton' of these events allows us to think of a review moment of these identity positions that once seemed unlinkable and binary. The analysis of the ways used in the production of the floats in the sheds of the samba schools and their ideas and representations of Farroupilha Week denounces the debate on the relationship and complementarity of the two cultures.
