Política vivida: entre festas, ajudas, bons políticos, brincadeiras e outras perspectivas etnográficas

Abstract

The present work starts from the reflection constructed by a debate elaborated by the anthropology in view the approach of this science on the problematics about politics. In this sense, the first chapter presents an immersion in this theoretical universe in an attempt to demonstrate the different orientations that helped the anthropologists to understand and / or explain this phenomenon. In the other chapters, we indicate a bibliographical study of two ethnographies that were concerned with reporting the experience of various political forms in Brazilian territory, namely: "Sociabilidades, falas e ritual na construção das organizações camponesas ", book by John Comerford and "Festas da Política: Uma etnografia da modernidade do sertão (Buritis / MG) "by anthropologist Christine Chaves. We’ll go through these chapters in the search for the demonstration of the complexity of this phenomenon and we find the problematic of the Lived Politics and the Personal Relationships, in order to make proliferate the conceptual universe produced by much of the philosophy and political science. Thus, when we come across these "other" configurations, which may potentially contribute to the differentiated reflection of politics, we reflect on the contribution of anthropology to a greater complexity of the problematic.
