Abstract(s)
Os “folhetos”, vendidos por cegos papelistas — os artistas de rua daqueles tempos
— espalharam, nas feiras e mercados, notícias de crimes e traições, casos inauditos,
milagres, vidas de santos e orações. Genericamente enquadrados na literatura de cordel,
ao cruzarem-se com as hagiografias mais antigas, deram origem aos chamados gozos,
preces cantadas em festividades religiosas. É o caso do Pliego de gozo de San Blas,
documento da Coleção Carderera que se encontra à guarda da Fundación Joaquín Díaz, em
Urueña, Valladolid. Exemplos de fervorosa religiosidade popular, os gozos chegaram aos
nossos dias, adaptando-se, sem, no entanto, renegarem as suas origens no que respeita a
conceito, conteúdo e forma.
Esta dissertação pretende dar a conhecer os gozos, nomeadamente o Pliego de gozo
de San Blas, relacionando-os com os folhetos. Inicia-se com um enquadramento histórico
e geográfico, para depois refletir acerca do papel dos cegos papelistas, sua função social,
modo de atuação, repertório e instrumentos musicais utilizados. De seguida apresenta uma
reflexão sobre cultura popular e cultura erudita e sobre formas de dar materialidade ao
imaterial. A dissertação termina com a apresentação de um percurso biográfico de S. Brás,
seguindo-se-lhe a apresentação de formas de cristalização da sua santidade: culto e
celebrações no seio da Igreja, hagiografias, iconografia e gozos. A pesquisa e o trabalho
efetuados em relação a S. Brás permitem reforçar a ideia da existência da continuidade e
permanência de crenças ao longo dos séculos.
The broadside ballads, also known as broadsheets or chapbooks, sold by blind chapmen, the street artists from other times, scattered, in fairs and markets, news of crime and betrayal, unheard-of cases, miracles, lives of saints and prayers. Generally framed in popular culture, in the so called literatura de cordel, by intersecting with the oldest hagiographies, they originated the gozos, prayers sung in religious festivities. Such is the case of Pliego de gozo de San Blas, a document belonging to the Carderera Collection, kept by the Joaquín Díaz Foundation, in Urueña, Valladolid. Examples of the great popular piety, the gozos reached our days, adapting without, however, denying their origins, concerning the concept, the content and the form. This dissertation aims to present the gozos, namely the Pliego de gozo de San Blas, linking them with the broadside ballads. It begins with an historical and geographical framework, followed by a reflection on the role of the blind chapmen, their social function, their ways, repertoire and musical instruments. Next comes a reflection on popular and erudite culture and the ways in which the immaterial can be reified. The dissertation ends with a brief biography of saint Blaise and the ways his holiness has been established: the worship of the church, hagiographies, iconography and gozos. The research conducted concerning saint Blaise allows us to conclude that the beliefs still remain, after all these centuries.
