SUMMARY:

This study aimed to analyze the formation of punk identities in Recife between the 1980s and 1990s. Punk can be defined as a cultural phenomenon linked to music, more specifically rock, with origins between the 1960s and 1970s in some parts of the world, notably the United States of America and England, but not limited to. To achieve the proposed objectives, we used a conceptual framework that addresses the categories of culture, identities, and memory as interconnected components in what we understand as identity formation. The study is based on the analysis of testimonies and fragments of material culture produced by these groups. Twenty-three interviews were conducted between July 2022 and December 2024. Material culture, in turn, is analyzed based on personal archives, such as fanzines and letters that were produced and archived by the deponents. The assumptions of the Oral History Manual (Alberti, 2013) were used to obtain and process the interviews, making the necessary adaptations to the target audience, as well as authors such as Cardoso (1997), Vainfas (1997), Thompson (1981, 1998, 2001), García (1990) and Groppo (2021) for a bibliographic review on the concept of culture. Hall (2006; 2012) and Castells (2018) for a review on the concept of identities and García (1990); Pollack (1992), Barros (2011) and Candau (2011) to deal with memory. The results indicate the existence of a cosmopolitan scene in the city, starting in the 1970s with Udigrudi, which would become more intense in the following decade when punk and other identities linked to more extreme rock effectively arrived in the capital of Pernambuco, albeit in a marginalized and peripheral manner. Little by little, these new bodies began to occupy and ‘nomadize’ in the various spaces of the city and surrounding areas, demonstrating their own dynamics, which were already well consolidated by the end of the 1990s. At the beginning of this decade, punks began to coexist with another thriving cultural scene, which partially altered its dynamics: manguebit. Finally, punk identities in Recife were formed amid the transformations that the country was undergoing with the end of the dictatorship and the subsequent technological and infrastructural advances. The city of Recife follows this scenario; however, punk identities are born, above all, based on a sign of contingency and coexistence with other urban tribes, demonstrating the strength necessary to act as producers of cultural dynamics and urban space. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee for Research with Human Beings of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, under number CAAE: 62380322.1.0000.9547.
