Abstract

This research aims to analyze and record the meanings of the ritual and heritage of Folia de Reis of the city of Florínea/São Paulo, emphasizing the period from 1993 to 2013, when the group of revelers (practitioners of this religious ritual and members of the Flor do Vale Folkloric Association from Florínea) identify the major reinterpretation of the cultural object in the city’s context. Oral history was the method used in the assessment process and evaluation of interviews, complemented with a documentary archive of textual sources from different types (25 transcribed oral histories, handwritten minutes, laws and lawsuits), audiovisual (DVDs), sounds (CD) and visual (photograph). Regarding this, the gathered documentation and discussions in this study contribute to the preservation of the group's memory, history and heritage, and also with the history of the city of Florínea.
