Open-access The "triduum of madness": Campos Elyseos and the african-diasporic carnival

This article aims to recover aspects of São Paulo carnival in the first decades of the 20th century, centered on the trajectory of one of the São Paulo blacks' artistic-cultural expressions: the Campos Elyseos Carnival Group. In a context in which blacks were subordinated socially and politically, the cordão carnavalesco took on an affirmative sense, becoming a means of promoting this racial sector. In addition to providing diversion and entertainment to its members, the association circulated notions of belonging, equality, and citizenship.
