This article presents a reflection on Rio de Janeiro’s Street Carnival in the 21st century, especially in light of the phenomenon of the multiplicity of associations and diversity of formats, shades and intentions, as well as disputes over meanings and representativeness as presented by those involved – street bands (known as ‘blocos’), associations and public authorities – that seek anchoring in concepts such as “popular culture”, “tradition” and “identity” to justify their spaces of legitimacy. To conduct this analysis and demonstrate the difficulties of defining concepts in these fields, a dialogue is proposed between the ideas of historians Marta Abreu, with an analysis of her text “Popular Culture: a concept and various stories” and those of Nestor Canclini, in his book “Hybrid Cultures”.
