Abstract

In this article we question the mechanisms of construction and preservation of carnival practices in a rural community in which the agricultural component has faded, focusing on popular culture (BAKHTIN, 2002) and performative practices (CONNERTON, 1999). In constant dialectics between past and present, mediated by the memory of our sources, the text has been structured into three parts, analyzing the changes in rural areas and the senses and meanings attributed to the party in the construction of local identities.
