Between the Street and the Feed: Tradition, Identity and Symbolic Performances in the Blocks Lovers of Glory and I Think It's Little

This article analyzes how two street blocks of the Pernambuco carnival – Amantes de Glória (Recife) and Eu Acho É Pouco (Olinda) – build meanings of belonging, tradition and symbolic positioning from their discursive performances on Instagram, between the carnivals of 2022 and 2025. The research is based on the content analysis proposed by Bardin (1977), organized into three interpretative axes that observe images, captions and comments as strategies of cultural representation. Amantes de Glória bets on a lyrical and affective language, evoking the feminine and memory as central elements, while Eu Acho É Pouco stands out for its explicit political discourse, associated with resistance and the left. The analysis articulates Hall (2006), Bourdieu (2011), Canclini (1997), Barbosa (2010) and Goffman (2002) to reflect on forms of visibility and self-curation in digital carnival, understanding the networks as a new stage for the symbolic performance of street carnival.
