Abstract

This article deals with tensions, practices, discourses, between people, places and narrative disputes, around what is generically called popular culture. As an excerpt, we identified the circuit of cultural circles existing in the city of Rio de Janeiro - here called “Movimento Cult” - as a typical expression of these tensions, and that, in some way, refreshes the power relations already demarcated by the country's folklorists since the beginning of the Republic. As an example, we analyzed one of these tensions related to Coco carried out on these wheels, which caused clashes deriving due to issues of culture, race, native origin and tradition. It is characterized by ethnographic research and its data collection procedure is netnography and participant observation, as tactics to deal with issues related to contemporaneity. Based on that, reports were identified of how this Movimento reproduces the colonial project implicit in the dynamics of dominant elites in the face of dominated groups. Finally, it transforms this popular culture into an elite consumer product for itself, where its political strength, its aspects of cultural resistance and the participation of the people are extinguished every day, given the price of tuition for classes and tickets for school. the shows, leaving their creators out of the roda.
