Seu silêncio incomoda meu barulho: ativando o cortejo de Bumba meu Boi em Marechal Deodoro/AL

Abstract

This dissertation aims to activate the Bumba Meu Boi procession (cortejo) in basic education, integrating it into the school pedagogical context. Over the course of three years of experience, the study documents the trajectory of the insertion of Bumba Meu Boi into educational practices, offering pedagogical proposals for its implementation. The research analyzes the results obtained with this practice, observing the procedures adopted, the challenges faced, the successes achieved, and, based on these observations, makes adjustments to the pedagogical strategies. The development of the methodology included a detailed investigation of the Bumba Meu Boi tradition, with emphasis on its specificities in Maceió and the metropolitan region, specifically in Marechal Deodoro. This work stands as the first dossier dedicated to Bumba Meu Boi in Alagoas and combines affective memory with theoretical, pedagogical, and musical knowledge, providing an analysis of the formation of the procession and the possibilities of its insertion into the school environment, including local cultural knowledge in basic education.
