| Abstract | |
Reading the ten years of ethnographic notes of rave parties, this work focuses on the lapses of the fantastic universe created by the party where some unresolved questions of everyday life comes to light. It comes from question of establishment of an absolute and a parallel reality of the party and deals with its own fragility and incompleteness. It proposes to attend to the experience of rave focusing on the noise and the forgotten elements in the performance that creates the party exploring points of contact between anthropology, performing arts and the Walter Benjamins thought. This research starts from residual fragments of the notes of my fieldwork in the Brazilians festivals - parties of trance music - that characteristically take place in wild nature scenarios, idyllic beaches, belong falls and forests, territories far way of day-by-day activities of urban way of life. Those are places very closed of an image of heaven, where other dreams image emerges: the Global Tribe. This global tribe is a grouping of a transnational culture, building in the encounters of electronic music parties around the world and an intensive exchange by the internet. Through the very especial social dynamic of the party emerge utopias, hopes and tensions. (AU) | |
