The city of Recife during the 1920s has gone through transformations that altered his appearance, behaviors and practices of its inhabitants. Modernity, who craves the new and refutes obsolete, invades the daily lives of the population, so as to interfere even in the carnival party. In this moment of transformation of practices and reaffirmation of traditions, there is, in the newspapers of the period, the emergence of Blocos Carnavalescos Mistos, carnival association mode that has men and women in its formation. They won the city streets as an alternative and opposition to the carnival considered dangerous and licentious of the manifestations of the lower classes. For the purpose of moralize and order the carnival practices, these groups placed themselves as stylish model of how to play the carnival, which should be followed by other groups. Represented by what is considered to be of the scope of "order and elegance" and practicing distinctive actions, the Blocos Carnavalescos Mistos become a way legitimized by society and family to the actions of women in carnival parties of the city so seen as respectful and protected from dishonor. Even under the watchful eyes of families, these women managed to occupy prominent places, and walking between obedience to the rigidity of the standards of morality and inventiveness, these women recreate their spaces. The research uses as a theoretical reference the work of Michel de Certeau to the analysis of daily practices, Roger Chartier to understand the representations and uses as a method, the dense description of Clifford Geertz, who understands the analysis of cultural practices such as interpretation networks of meaning.
