Tensões e disputas entre cariocas e baianos no universo sambista do Rio de Janeiro (1920-1950)

Abstract

In the present thesis, I bring for appreciation of the reader, an effort of investigation in order to watch the nature of discursive clashes between agents of the samba universe bahian and carioca, in the so-called radio age (1920-1950). About these controverses and clashes, between samba players, journalists, writers, folklorists, and scholars, I searched watch more closely the field of different conceptions and discursive positions, about the origin of samba, whether in Bahia or Rio, musical provocations involving samba players and native tensions and resentments. All this within the context of the rise central and modern Rio de Janeiro, to the detriment of the peripheral situation of Bahia, your capital and the region of Recôncavo, in the context of the construction sociocultural of an identity of the brazilian people and nation. It was observed that such clashes and discursive tensions were based on their own identity loyalties, constructions of traditions and discourses of exaltation and defense of places of origin. These processes were identified in view of conceptual and explanatory elements related to studies on the construction of identities, in which the conceptions of authors such as Stuart Hall (2006; 2009), Kathryn Woodward (2009) and Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2009), constitute the main theoretical contributions. Under the prism of Critical Discourse Analiysis, by Norman Fairclough (2001; 2003) and Teun A. van Dijk (2018), the set of documents used – newspapers, magazines, samba lyrics, testimonials, interviews, films, documentaries, television programs, literary and academic works – revealed much of a combative universe, full of disputes, that sought to hegemoize narratives, traditions and native, musical, technical and aesthetic positions, leading to a better visualization of the clashes that ocurred between bahian and carioca subjets involved the samba in context of radio age.
