The newborn Republic: the festive citizenship on the 30th day of the Republic

Abstract

 This article tends to introduce the festivities that took place in Porto Alegre in the days after the proclamation of the Republic in Brazil. We realize that these celebrations, were a crowd was present, don't happened in desarticulated form. On the contrary, we propose that they represented legitime social practices to a determinate political behaviour; we perceive in these practice manifestations and social representations that articulate a social identity for the politics agent which we name festive citizenship.
