MASCULINIDADES DE PLÁSTICO, PRÓTESES DE APARELHAGEM: O NORDESTINO DO PISEIRO NA PERFORMANCE POP DO FORRÓ ELETRÔNICO NO NORDESTE CONTEMPORÂNEO

Abstract

From the big sound system equipment to the sole of boots in the dust of the treadmill, this article aims to relate a male gender performance with the northeastern regional type in the electronic “forró” of the contemporary Northeast. Thus, it uses the latest flashing repertoire released between 2019 and 2020 in video clips by forró singers Biu do Piseiro, Eric Land and Zé Vaqueiro and Anderson and Véi da Pisadinha. When considering a media analysis methodology and a video clip as an extension of the music, we had the opportunity to point out what is northeastern and step into the dialogue with a male performance that displaces the utterances of the forró tradition “pé-de-serra”, at the same time that derives from the “modernity” of electronic forró. In addition, the reflection that a popular demonstration of steppers can present an emergency that can be called and “popfication” will be influenced by other rhythms and other images that make up the young person who dances. As theoretical reflections on the sons of male cabra, morals and sexuality supported the construction of male gender in performance. Therefore, we seek to highlight the new models of masculinity without reprocessing signs ruralized by the sound that we call “forró de apresto”, mainly, as old models are still supported by meanings. The cowboy is popping with prosthetic devices and a plastic spur, but he still depends on the party and does something to legitimize the number of women on the big sound system.
