Monsters, Bottle Rockets, Bamboos, Balls and the Utmost Depth: enchantments in performances of a streetwise youth by Gustavo Coelho (Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro – UERJ, Rio de Janeiro/RJ, Brazil)

“…They were consequently analyzed with an approach that is interested in the studies of the imaginary, and in their relations with anthropology, philosophy and psychology; the monsters that give name to the sound crews of the bailes funk, the bamboos used by the torcidas organizadas, the balls/balloons swung by the batebolas, the weapon-allegory ambivalence of rojões (bottle rockets), and the image of the fundão (utmost depth).  …”
