O trabalho é um estudo de inspiração etnográfica e está vinculado à Linha de Pesquisa Educação e Artes- LP4 e ao grupo de pesquisa DEC- Diferença, Educação e Cultura, do Programa de Pós Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. A Vertente é considerada, neste estudo, como uma instância cultural pedagógica, na qual são produzidos sujeitos imersos em relações de poder-saber, tendo como base a cultura Nativista Gaúcha. A partir da abordagem Estudos Culturais em Educação, em que a cultura é entendida como o conjunto de sistemas de significação que geram o conhecimento e constituem as subjetividades, analiso a circulação de narrativas que enunciam a produção do Sujeito Musical Campeiro, um tipo de subjetividade alinhada aos discursos das práticas musicais Nativistas, inseridas no movimento global de produção e consumo de bens culturais. No texto, há a descrição de marcadores da cultura gaúcha que produzem o Sujeito Musical Campeiro e, a partir das narrativas de Oficinas de Música e de alunos e professores da comissão organizadora do festival. Analiso a experiência da produção de subjetividades de alunos e professores que participam da Vertente da Canção Nativista Estudantil.
