Invernadas artísticas: lazer ou trabalho artístico, reflexão frente a princípios constitucionais e ao Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the conditions in which the child and the young traditionalist submit to the practice of cultural activity. For that, it was necessary to study the history of traditional Gaucho, presenting concepts of the old fashioned dances, until reaching the current view of southern art. Gaucho traditionalism is a clear historical cultural manifestation of the South people, being a representation of wars, works, plantations and harvests, until it arrives at the balls, when they celebrated hard and costly work. In this context, these dances of old, survived the timeline, and are alive through the historical representation of children and young people within the so-called Centro de Tradições Gaúchas in their artistic wintering; however, the expression of this rich history of the people of the State of Rio Grande do Sul has taken on greater and different proportions from the original. In the current scenario, competition is presented as the front of traditionalism, and, consequently, long rehearsals and somewhat precarious conditions for minors. In order to reflect on this research, an examination of Brazilian legislation with regard to the rights of children and adolescents at the present time proved to be pertinent, going through principled ideas, codifications and conventions. In our national law, the Federal Constitution of 1988 guarantees essential rights for minors, however, it stands out in this environment for children and adolescents, the Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA), which emerged in 1990 to legislate rights and duties of the child, who according to its Art.2º, is the person up to twelve years old incomplete, of the teenager the one between twelve and eighteen years old (Art.2º), of the parents, and even of the State. Advancing in the line of research, ILO Convention 138 arrives, adopted by Brazil in 2002, as a means to regulate the relationship of minors in the labor field. In order to better understand the impact of Gaucho art on minors, a series of questionnaires were applied to them, their parents, linked to the CTG Rodeio da Querência, the general public not participating in the movement, all residents of the city of Campinas do Sul / RS, aiming that each social group presents its perspective on the subject, combining theory with the practice of those who live actively in the environment. To the general public, a double questionnaire was also sought at different times, one before following how artistic “Invernada” works, and the other after following some rehearsals. Thus, combining the studied bibliographic collection, confronted with the reality of children and young people within the warehouses, it was feasible to discuss what the traditionalist movement in Rio Grande do Sul today is for minors. To carry out the research, we used an analytical-descriptive method, field research to collect data by applying a questionnaire.
