Description
Summary:This text aims to present and investigate the performance of the Zé Pereira carnival procession, based on the events from 2013 to 2022 in the municipality of Itaberaí-GO. To this end, we engage in a dialogue with Mikhail Bakhtin's (1895-1975) studies of the carnivalesque worldview and the decolonial perspectives of Mario de Andrade and Oswald de Andrade. These theories help us understand how the idea of a procession can parallel the normativity of everyday life, momentarily modifying streets, roads, and lives in a movement that goes from life to art and from art to life. Bakhtin establishes the elements of the carnivalesque worldview that are inserted into everyday life and its expressive forms. We are exposing here that we can still observe the dialogism of expressive forms being inserted into moments of everyday life.
