- Title
"Party as perspective" between Calon in Mamanguape, Paraíba (Brazil): abundance and ostentation in Gypsies transforming borders.
- Authors
Monteiro, Edilma do Nascimento J.; Ferreira Pires, Flávia
- Abstract
In describing the parties observed, namely, 1) calendar parties, for example, Children's Day, Christmas and New Year's parties, and 2) rites of passage, for example, wedding and children's birthdays; during fieldwork between the Calons (Gypsy people) in Mamanguape on the north coast of Paraíba, Brazil, during the years 2013 and 2014, we propose that the celebrations are privileged moments for the realization and updating of making Calon through dialogical opposition relations to the juron (non-gypsies). These are the parties that perform abundance and ostentation as practices and scarcity as a speech, especially in the presence of foreigners or others. In this sense, the party is considered a social producer, dialoguing with the literature that defends the "party as perspective", I.e., not as a mirror, but as a creative function of reality (Perez 2012).
