Description
Summary:The purpose of this article is to highlight some aspects that now characterize the convergence of the culture & the economy of symbols & spaces from the setting of a circuit of large festivals crossing different Brazilian regions. It is observed how the pattern of this circuit of events creates a broader portrait of the establishment of the service & urban-industrial social structure, within which leisure & entertainment interfere with the level of values & expressions, with effects on the resignification of the realms of memory. On the other hand, it is also considered how those symbolic changes are fundamental to the very dynamics of the business of entertainment goods, in the sense that they articulate affection, endearment & life styles with the schemes of capital rentability.
