SUMMARY:

This thesis aims to understand how music festivals, focusing on the selected events Rock in Rio and Glastonbury, establish modes of music consumption in contemporary culture. The study is prompted by the recognition that music festivals have become a successful model of contemporary entertainment due to the changing dynamics of the recording industry and the ways in which subjects relate to symbolic goods in the current experience economy. The selection of these two festivals is based on their symbolic and material constructions, which make them references in the field, reflected in the plural ambiance they offer, capable of engaging a collective driven by the promise of unique experiences. Therefore, it is imperative to delve into the narratives that organize the experience and are a fundamental element for highlighting empiricism in this research. This investigation focuses on different subjects: initially, the festivals themselves, whose master narratives are potential indicators of the transformations that lead them to occupy a position of prominence currently, and the participating subjects. From the latter's narratives, the research can deduce the material dimension of their historical experience. The methodological procedure that allows for exploring the empirical field is participant observation. Through this approach, it is possible to address conceptual pillars understood as fundamental to this development: music, socialities, the event space, and the festivals themselves. It is from the interconnection of these concepts that the thesis provides insights into the complexity of these events. Among the primary conclusions of this research, community bonds stand out: it is in the various ways these festivities summon, articulate, and engage subjects in the many socialities that permeate their event spaces that they establish a mode of music consumption in the contemporary context. Elucidating these socialities in a diverse event space, conceived to stimulate specific uses and practices, in which it is still possible to identify gaps that give meaning to an experience in that space-time, reveals one of the main findings of the work: the potential for building mini scenes at these festivals, which could justify their continued relevance and survival in the contemporary scenario.
