Resumo

O presente artigo se propõe a discutir o termo performance e a concepção do é/enquanto (is/as) performance a partir do breve relato de dois momentos distintos de performance musical do Coral da Justiça Federal do Espírito Santo (JFES). O texto irá dialogar com autores da antropologia da performance, como Schechner (2003, 2011) e Taylor (2013), assim como a concepção de fazer musical de Blacking (1973), entendendo a performance nesse contexto como um momento de interação social através da música.

The Conception of is/as Performance from the Ethnography of the Musical Performance of an Institutional Choir

The present article proposes to discuss the term performance and the conception of is/as performance from the brief account of two distinct moments of musical performance of the Justiça Federal do Espírito Santo (JFES) Choir. The text will dialogue with authors of performance anthropology, such as Schechner (2003, 2011) and Taylor (2013), as well as Blacking's (1973) conception of music-making, interpreting performance in this context as a moment of social interaction through music.
