“Todo slammer é poeta, mas nem todo poeta é slammer”: uma etnografia com os slammers do slam do prego

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the process of becoming a slammer, using the experience of the Slam do Prego collective as a case study. The precursor categories of Magnani (1996) and Victor Turner (2015) were brought to the center of the discussion in order to reflect on the webs of sociability that are built in the Getúlio Vargas and Mamonas Assassinas squares, in Guarulhos, São Paulo, as well as the production of the performances in the slam. The fieldwork that supports the interpretation was accompanied by an analysis of data available in the collective's own digital platforms. Based on these observations, we sought to explain the relationship that the squares have with the construction of the Slam do Prego slammers performances.
