Abstract

TOASSI, Andresa Jaqueline; STOLF, Michele Caroline; COUTINHO, Maria Chalfin  and  SOARES, Dulce Helena Penna. The movement of João de Santo Cristo in the world: the via-crucis of an identity. Aletheia [online]. 2008, n.27, pp.139-156. ISSN 1413-0394.

The identity concept is polysemyc and paradoxical, contemplating several meanings. In Social Psychology, we consider the person as singular and plural at the same time, constituting himself intensively linked to the social environment, which is also built by the man. Here we try to contribute to analysis of this presupposed, studying the life trajectory of the main character in the song "Faroeste Caboclo". The song is a cultural production, once it's full of individual and general meanings. The work is a basic category of the human being, who develops projects and advances the future through his planning capacity. Based on this, we try to understand the human identity inserted in a context of uninterrupted production between men and society, emphasizing its features and the way it constitutes, through the movement of a character, who is imaginary, but contains features that are common to the community group. This way, the article is a theoretical trial to analyze the trajectory of the character under three theoretical categories: project, identity and work.

Keywords : Identity; Work; Project.
