“…As memórias afetivas ressaltam a influência dos sentidos para o envolvimento pleno em ocupações. Bailliard (2013), em um estudo com imigrantes latinos nos Estados Unidos, destacou que a mudança de ambiente alterou informações sensoriais dos sujeitos nas suas ocupações. Logo, as variações de input sensorial puderam alterar os significados, bem-estar e integração com o novo lugar.…”

Resumo Introdução Existem profundas relações entre as festas Brega e a cidade de Belém do Pará, Brasil, manifestadas em práticas cotidianas que influenciam as características culturais, performáticas e identitárias da cidade. Essas festas são realizadas semanalmente e informam três atores principais: festeiros, bregueiros e DJs. Mesmo amplamente validadas na periferia, as festas Brega enfrentam processos de marginalização social de suas práticas, sendo atribuídas noções depreciativas aos modos de viver e às ações cotidianas dos sujeitos envolvidos com esse movimento. Dentre as festas de Brega, destacamos nesse trabalho o Baile da Saudade, o qual concentra características mais ligadas ao movimento inicial do Brega em Belém. Objetivo Identificar os significados de ocupar-se das/nas festas de Baile da Saudade com base na perspectiva dos principais atores. Método A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa e inspirada por abordagem etnográfica, ouviu cinco participantes: um DJ, dois festeiros e dois bregueiros. Os dados foram gerados através de observação participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas e por meio de Photovoice. Os recursos foram analisados por meio de Análise Temática. Resultados Foram geradas quatro unidades temáticas que informam as particularidades do Baile da Saudade, a construção da festa enquanto produto cultural, as diferenciações de consumo entre o Centro e a Periferia da cidade, bem como estigmas e aceitações associados ao Baile. Conclusão O estudo revelou os condicionantes, as tensões e os potenciais de ocupar-se das/nas festas de Baile da Saudade, bem como permitiu refletir sobre algumas ocupações humanas a partir de perspectiva contra hegemônica.

“…Affective memories emphasize the influence of the senses for full involvement in occupations. Bailliard (2013), in a study with Latino immigrants in the United States, highlighted that the change of environment altered sensory information of the subjects in their occupations. Therefore, variations in sensory input could change meanings, well-being and integration with the new place.…”

Introduction There are deep relationships between Brega parties and the city of Belém do Pará, Brazil, manifested in everyday practices that influence the city’s cultural, performance and identity characteristics. These parties are held weekly and inform three main actors: partygoers, bregueiros, and DJs. Even though they are widely validated in the periphery, the Brega parties face processes of social marginalization of their practices, with derogatory notions attributed to the ways of living and everyday actions of the subjects involved with this movement. Among the Brega parties, this study highlights the Baile da Saudade, which concentrates on characteristics more linked to the initial Brega movement. Objective To identify the meanings of producing/participating in the Baile da Saudade parties based on the perspective of its main actors. Method This qualitative study, which was inspired by an ethnographic approach, heard five participants: one DJ, two party planners, and two bregueiros. The data was generated through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and the Photovoice. The resources were analyzed by Thematic Analysis. Results Four thematic units were generated: particularities of the Baile da Saudade, construction of the party as a cultural product, differences in consumption between the Center and the Periphery of city, as well as stigmas and acceptance associated with this party. Conclusion The study revealed the constraints, tensions, and potentials of producing/participating in Baile da Saudade parties, and allowed reflection on the role of some occupations from the counter-hegemonic perspective.

“…In supermarkets, migrants noted that American hygiene regulations meant all food was packaged, and stores smelled of cleaning products compared to being able to touch and smell produce throughout open‐air markets back home. Migrants felt an overall sense of intensity was missing within flavorless food, color‐lacking clothing, streets without traffic, and colder (unwelcoming) American homes (Bailliard, 2013). Conversely, similarities of physical environments and cultural landscapes between migratory contexts and homeland spaces (such as comparable weather, traffic noises, architecture, publicly spoken languages) evoke a sense of comfort, or “ontological security,” for migrants and can be the primary motivations for settling in specific new locations (Aranda, Hughes, & Sabogal, 2014).…”

“…Migrants must recalibrate and adjust their actions and expectations to these new surroundings, and unmet expectations often lead to feelings of isolation and estrangement. For instance, Latino migrants in a small North Carolina town reported feeling a general sensory dulling when they migrated to the US (Bailliard, 2013). They found cooking frustrating given the lack of similar, high‐quality ingredients, or necessary kitchen equipment they were used to in their hometowns.…”

Recent scholarship in the sociological subfields of culture and immigration offers several promising directions for studying how people experience the world in embodied ways and move through and across boundaries. Yet, the lack of overlap between fields has left numerous theoretical angles unexplored. In this review, I consider the limited existing scholarship at the intersection of migration and the senses. I discuss literature on the role of sensation during three critical moments of migration: movement, encounter, and return. These moments highlight the sensorially dislocating nature of travel, the felt politics of inclusion and exclusion, and the transporting power of embodied memories. These works dive deep into the everyday realities of bodies on the move that public and academic discourse has previously ignored. I conclude by briefly outlining exciting new directions to expand work connecting migration and the senses and suggest that we begin to explore globalized migrant sensibilities.
