It is worth noting that through this case study it is also intended to ethnographically observe and better understand the processes of ruptures and continuities between modernization and tradition, and the relationship between the global and the local. The communication system, the dancing, the music, the costumes and the loas (letters) were analyzed using the technique of participant observation as well as secondary materials such as newspapers, blogs and magazines. The interviews were open, non-directive, but recorded to facilitate understanding the speech of revelers. The research has shown that all the symbolic elements of aesthetic expression of the maracatu are permeated by clashes of historical contexts and of political representation, which, in another instance, also enunciates a fight of micro-community resistance regarding the renewal process and the social development that plague modern megalopolis. It is In this interim, between modernity and tradition that today it can be spoken about the existence of hybrid identity in the maracatu regarding a context mediated by the overall above mentioned values and customs specific of the new generations. However, one can not deny that the forms of negotiations with modernity also require the establishment of a link with the specific singularity of a popular culture that is not excluded, but also should not get invaded by the idea of authenticity. Therefore, performing this study was above all an opportunity to understand also the community life in the city outskirts, understanding society, culture and everyday social relations maintained between humans that produce and make it all happen. The Solar and Reis de Paus do not join in opposition between themselves nor by their similarity. What is most striking among them is the renewal of a tradition that reinvents itself in the form of popular representation across the street parade / Trata-se de um estudo etnogr?fico e comparativo dos Maracatus Solar (2006) e Reis de Paus (1960), cujo objetivo foi verificar o que existe de antigo e tradicional no novo maracatu praticado pela agremia??o Solar e, em contrapartida, o que existe de novo ou moderno no velho maracatu ritualizado pela agremia??o Reis de Paus. Cabe ressaltar que por meio deste estudo de caso pretendeu-se tamb?m observar etnograficamente e compreender melhor os processos de rupturas e continuidades entre moderniza??o e tradi??o e a rela??o entre o global e o local. O sistema de comunica??o, a dan?a, a m?sica, as vestimentas e as loas (letras) foram analisados com o uso da t?cnica da observa??o participante e tamb?m de materiais secund?rios, como jornais, blogs e revistas. As entrevistas foram abertas, n?o diretivas, mas gravadas para facilitar a compreens?o das falas dos brincantes. A pesquisa mostrou que todos os elementos simb?licos de express?o est?tica do maracatu s?o permeados de disputas de sentido, de confrontos de contextos hist?ricos e de representa??o pol?tica, que, em outra inst?ncia, enunciam tamb?m uma luta da resist?ncia microcomunit?ria em rela??o ? renova??o e ao processo de desenvolvimento social que assolam as megal?poles modernas. ? nesse ?nterim entre modernidade e tradi??o que se pode falar hoje sobre a exist?ncia de identidade h?brida no maracatu em rela??o a um contexto mediado pelo global acima dos valores e costumes particulares das novas gera??es. Entretanto, n?o se pode negar que as formas de negocia??es com a modernidade requerem tamb?m o estabelecimento de um v?nculo com a singularidade espec?fica de uma cultura popular que n?o se exclui, mas tamb?m n?o deve se deixar invadir pela ideia de autenticidade. Portanto, realizar este estudo foi acima de tudo uma oportunidade para compreender tamb?m a vida comunit?ria na periferia da cidade, entender a sociedade, a cultura e as rela??es sociais cotidianas mantidas entre os seres humanos que produzem e fazem tudo isso acontecer. O Solar e o Reis de Paus n?o se unem pela oposi??o existente entre si nem tampouco pela similaridade. O que ? mais marcante entre ambos ? a renova??o de uma tradi??o que se reinventa em forma de representa??o popular atrav?s do desfile de rua
