A viagem como um princípio na formação do habitus dos músicos que na década de 1970 ficaram conhecidos como Pessoal do Ceará

Abstract

The thesis presents the travel as a principle in the formation of the habitus of musicians. The research has focused on the trajectory of three musicians from different routes, from the same generation of intellectuals and artists who became known as Pessoal do Ceara, namely: Manassés Lourenço de Sousa, Raimundo Fagner Cândido Lopes and Franco Rodger Rogério. The research was conducted through semi-structured interviews, complete with testimonials from individuals who have enriched the work by adding explanatory power to the study.The trajectories were analyzed from the social origins of the subjects until the consolidation of their socio-professional setting in the social field. It was found that the agents originated from different social backgrounds, had their paths defined differently, however had the common point the travel as the operator of central changes in their conditions of musicians. Pierre Bourdieu’s praxiology and the concepts of habitus, capital and field were the tools used to illuminate the process of change of the subjects habitus and capital. We can say that travel was a main change strategy, based on a logic of transformation of physical movement (geographical) in a social shift within the music field.
