• Abstract:

  In the context of the expansion

  of tourism, radicalized by the phenomenon

  of globalization, organizations and private

  entities, incentivated by the mercantile logic,

  have understood cultural practices as important

  products. From this point of view, festivals, rites

  and traditions, once understood as mechanisms

  of visibility and identity construction, have

  been recreated as spectacular events. With

  ethnographic proposals, this work aims at

  analyzing the recent processes of changes

  of carnival parties in Fortaleza that took place

  from 2009 to 2012. Among others, the purpose

  of those projects was to make the city more

  attractive to the tourist from its traditional

  festivities. From this perspective, the creation

  of the notices policy in 2006 was the one of

  with greater amplitude, since it established

  new dynamics in the concession of resources,

  other festive configurations and party control,

  besides other processes as, for example,

  the culture commercialization. Based on the

  activities of the pre - carnival and maracatus

  blocks, this research focuses on the effects of

  this cultural policy on the compositional logic

  of the manifestations quoted from the criteria

  postulated in the edicts. At the theoretical level, culture, tradition, and tourism will be

  discussed in an articulated way, highlighting the points of tension in these festivities.
