(Sobre)vive o Carnaval: um projeto de coleção de vestuário desenvolvido a partir dos aspectos visuais e históricos da Bicharada do Mestre Jaime, de Salgueiro-PE

Abstract

This work, situated in the field of fashion design, presented historical studies on the popular manifestations of the Carnival in Pernambuco, focusing specifically on the street festivities of the city of Salgueiro-PE, based on the contributions and irreverence of Mestre Jaime through the Calça Frouxa and Bicharada do Mestre Jaime carnival groups and their puppets. This study aimed to understand the carnival artist's work, as well as the affections intertwined in his artistic production throughout his life and his entire cultural legacy. This work was structured in two parts: a theoretical part and a design part, and included the creation of 12 looks. The first part was qualitative and used cartography as a methodological approach. It was based on the theories of Bakhtin and DaMatta and, in addition to bibliographic sources, used semi-structured interviews as methodological tools for a better understanding of Mestre Jaime's work. The second part consisted of developing a non-commercial collection project, based on an adaptation of the Project Development Guidance Guide (GODP), combined with concepts proposed by Doris Treptow. As a result, the importance of Mestre Jaime in promoting and maintaining this cultural expression—a way of life based on joy and boldness—was highlighted, as was how clothing, in an affective, textile, social, and historical way, translates Carnival as the festive life of the people.
