Dos subterrâneos aos holofotes: os nomadismos do rock Fortalezense

Abstract

The present study interprets, under the aegis of the Social Sciences, the search for acknowledgement and the various displacements (both in space and time) of young individuals that play in rock bands - of multiple ethical-esthetical characterizations - and socialize in Fortaleza (capital of the Ceará State – Brazil), the stage of their cultural production. Proceeding by two dialogical poles, Undergrounds (alternative) and Spotlights (mainstream), this ethnographical research intends to understand, by theory and empiricism, the nomadisms of the rockers by places, shows, tours and life experiences. Also interprets how these social actors create strategies to disseminate their works (above all, on the Internet) and to exceed obstacles like decrease of appropriated places to play, lack of resorts and incentives, derisory remuneration, absent audience and preconceptions.
