| Abstract | |
This research aims to reflect on the entanglement of politics and economy that take place at the Black Fair (Feira Preta); an event that promotes cultural and trade activities aimed at \"black community\", organized annually in the city of São Paulo. Having the Brazilian political-economic context of the last fifteen years as background marked, among other things, by the expansion of access to higher education and the encouragement of nonhegemonic cultural events I present an ethnographic analysis of the relational networks of black youth, identified in the context of this Fair as \"cultural entrepreneurs\", who weave different conceptions of \"black culture\" into spaces of recognition and exchange, where leisure, celebration, consumption and engagement intersect. Paying attention to the different economic logics (monetary and non-monetary) in action, as well as the complexity of the term \"entrepreneurship\", I focus the analysis on how solidarity mechanisms and political participation are articulated, boosting the construction of new imaginative and spatial claims. Finally, I highlight the role of black college women, upon the re-articulation of the forms of identification and aesthetic and political mobilization in contemporary Brazil. (AU) | |
