Abstract

Carnival is a party that acquires plural characteristics and a strong Brazilian identity. It has several social and territorial expressions throughout the national territory. In this work, we seek to understand the carnival in the city of São Borja, more specifically the blocks and HQ's. Therefore, we chose to observe these manifestations from the conceptual resources of territory, landscape and identity. For As such, a conceptual review was carried out on Carnival, territory, landscape and identity, as well as fieldwork and interviews with blocks and HQ's. This work presents the history of this festival, the different ways in which it is celebrated, whether in the southeast or northeast of the country. It seeks to bring theory closer to reality. The analysis shows that the Carnival of São Borja city is a practice of identity and territoriality of social groups, whose manifestation takes place in the landscape, in the painted streets, in the soundscape and in the bodies of revelers. Therefore, it demonstrates the richness of this cultural manifestation in the municipality.
