It is based on the hypothesis that such creations demand an art criticism that transcends formalism, embracing experience, affectivity, and the ethical dimension of perception. Situated at the intersection of art, critique, and clinic, this research conceives creation as an act of existence and resistance. The analysis articulates Ricardo Basbaum’s concept of artes/vidas and Roland Barthes’s biographeme as methodological tools for understanding the inseparability between life and art. The biographeme, viewed as a vital fragment that escapes biographical linearity, reveals traces of subjectivity inscribed in artistic forms, while the notion of artes/vidas expands art into the lived sphere, where the creative act becomes a way of life. Mário Pedrosa’s aesthetic theory—particularly his ideas of “aesthetic experience” and “the affective nature of form”—serves as the main theoretical framework, providing an ethical and sensitive basis for interpretation. The methodological approach combines historical research and aesthetic analysis with a hermeneutic and essayistic perspective, emphasizing the singularity of each creative process and its institutional context. Ultimately, this study proposes an expansion of art criticism into an implicated critique, one that recognizes the vitality of marginalized subjectivities and conceives art as a space of existential sharing. The art of the so-called “mad” thus emerges as a form of sensitive thought, freedom, and self-invention.

To accomplish this, it is necessary to select and analyze works in the Brazilian artistic production which make use of material culture objects, bearing the three concepts in mind, and to later organize them according to thematic axes such as: the urban space and its contradictions, the deviation from the pattern in the trajectories of anti-heroes; authoritarianism and submission; folk religiosity; intermediation of memory. The central hypothsis of the investigation consists of attributing a notable presence to the idea of a Brazilian identity in the current art of the nation, although it may be quite surprising when applied to some artists. The idea of attributing a Brazilian face to its contemporary production springs from the points which have been recurrent in various epochs of the Brazilian art history and which end up to associate, thus creating a Brazilian identity. This information would arise from processes which could be called cultural hybridisms. It is worth emphasizing that the formation of visual images and the choices of specific references to making of art are linked to a certain cultural system. Although the artists have denied to assume a programmatic vision such as the one derived from the Semana de Arte Moderna ("Week of Modern Art"), an event held in São Paulo in 1922, and from studies of folklore, the presence of motifs of the national life is self-evident in contemporary works.

Through bibliography, interviews and direct observation, mainly in artistic and ethnographic fields, arts and the social context are understood as linked categories. From themes like street marketing, "candombé" to myths of the popular culture, Carybé's art is placed side by side with European and Latin American art production. Through this approach, themes that have been popular during the 20th century (mainly from the fifties on) are presented. By that time, Carybé moves to Bahia, establishing himself as one of the cultural agents, through representations among popular and learned cultures. From interviews and local observations to rituals at Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, the investigation concludes that the artist was commited with the establishiment of religious aspects that pointed towards the Brazilian way of life, once they were represented from one of the most prominent cultural groups that took part of the Brazilian identity. The recognition of the people, given to the artist, can be verifyed through the way that the great majority of the people involved with the candomblé tradition, sees Carybe as one of the greatest celebrities of the Afro-Brazilian tradition. Therefore, "brasilidade" is presented as a result of the themes used in Carybé's paintings, once analyzed through social, material and symbolic contexts.

The identity discourses investigated were traced in the Market by analysis of its history, the native discourse, represented by its productive worke-rs, as well as its spatial organization and the objects on sale there. ln order to develop this approach, a theoretical analysis was made of the statutes that rule the local of the Feira Hippie, in addition to its relationship with the Ipanema neighborhood, with Rio de Janeiro City, and its function in a system of global tourism. This analysis was counterbalanced by field research which involved interviews, questionnaires, a photographic inventory and direct observations.
