Representação da Informação no Âmbito do Saber-Fazer Repentista de Oliveira de Panelas

The manifestation of Repente Popular Culture is considered one of the most expressive practices of popular culture due to the ability of its practitioners to gather informational elements and transmit them through improvisational singing, following an orderly context and attentive to originality in relation to the proposed subject. The general objective of this research is to analyse the practices developed by the poet-singer Oliveira de Panelas, understanding which informational elements enable the identification of themes within the scope of the repentista's know-how. Specifically, our study was based on the identification of terms and the structural analysis of the repentes present in the work entitled: 'Manifesto da verdade: cinco séculos de mentiras bem contadas’ (Manifesto of truth: five centuries of well-told lies), by Oliveira e Sousa (Silva and Panelas 2022). Methodologically, the research, in terms of sources, is considered documentary in nature, descriptive in type and qualitative in approach, where we list some repentes and stanzas in order to extract sub-themes and predominant themes in the work. As a result, themes were raised from sub-themes developed in the work as elements that highlight the Panelian vocabulary, as well its literary-cultural framework of the art of repente know-how. Finally, we conclude with some reflections on the elements, as well as on the configurations that the manifestation of repente assumes as a support for information, capable of revealing sociocultural aspects.
