The ethnoracial commodification of Brazilianness at cultural festivals in Toronto, Canada
This article analyzes representations of Brazilianness at festivals in Toronto, Canada, to understand how ethnoracialized groups are negotiating cultural commodification and neoliberal entrepreneurship. At these festivals, Brazilian immigrants employ specific semiotic assemblages to present themselves as a culturally rich, entrepreneurially successful group. They uphold Canadian multicultural ideals while avoiding negative stereotypes associated …

Scale-Making Narratives and Musical Tourism in Recife, Brazil
Anthropological studies of tourism have theorized scale and scale-making in primarily spatialized forms. This article, however, applies linguistic anthropological theories to show that scale is a discursive framework that includes spatial as well as qualitative and quantitative dimensions, which people use to assess socioeconomic problems associated with tourism. By bridging tourism studies, “music touristics,” and the semiotics of scale-making, …
Pernambuco and Bahia’s Musical “War”: Contemporary Music, Intraregional Rivalry, and Branding in Northeastern Brazil
This article draws on ethnographic research on contemporary music in Recife, Brazil, to show how people in the northeastern state of Pernambuco are redefining regional identity through engaging in a musically mediated rivalry with the neighboring state of Bahia. While this rivalry is longstanding, during the 2000s and 2010s, it was reconfigured in relation to the state government's efforts to brand Pernambuco as a multicultural place. Accordingly…
How to "Get By" in a Crisis: Strategic Flexibility among Brazilian Musical Entrepreneurs
During the twenty-first century, in Recife, Brazil, musicians and promoters in the city's alternative music scene benefited from an unprecedented amount of state sponsorship. However, because of an economic recession, since 2014 they have been contending with precarity: a lack of reliable employment and decreased state support. In order to "get by" (se virar), these professionals are becoming more entrepreneurial, but they are also defying the al…
Business, Transnationalism, and Patrimony
This article examines how musicians involved in the government sponsored music scene in Recife, the capital of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, (meta)musically perform different versions of the 'entrepreneurial self,' a form of neoliberal subjectivity. Through comparing specific musicians' practices and narratives, I argue Pernambucan state sponsorship is a mechanism which redefines citizenship on entrepreneurial terms and reinforces structural…

Bahian capoeira, which is simultaneously a martial art, dance, and folklorized manifestation, became the exemplar of the form and a metonym of Brazilian national identity.Acuña's framework draws from cultural historian Carl Schorske (1990) and sociologist Norbert Elias (1995) in order to contextually situate capoeira as part of a generational artistic and cultural movement that emerged and evolved from the 1930s to the 1960s.In particular, Acuña …
The Ins and Outs of Cultura : How Bands Voice Their Relationships to the State-Sponsored Music Scene in Recife, Brazil: The Ins and Outs of Cultura
This article compares two musical groups from Recife, the capital of the Northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco. The first group, which I call Banda Recifolinda is a professional, middle-class pop band that combines international styles, such as Afro Beat and rock, with Brazilian rhythms. The second group, Maracatu Afro, plays maracatu, a local carnivalesque genre. The groups integrate musical activities into their community outreach efforts …
