LAÇOS SOCIAIS INTRACOMUNITÁRIOS NA PRÁTICA SOCIOCULTURAL DO FILÓ DOMÉSTICO

Abstract

: In this paper, we aim to analyze repercussions of the current sociocultural practice of filó in relation to intra-commu-nity social ties, considered relations of hospitality/welcoming. We refer filó as a specific practice of domestic encounter still carried out by descendants of Italian immi-grants inside their residences; hospitality/ welcoming from the socio-human perspec-tive; and the municipality of Arvorezinha – RS as the target community. According to the voice of the research participants, the filó is a meeting that is constituted through visit/reunion. Respondents highlight the opportunity to exchange ideas, informa-tion, to be together. In this way, we gather signs that the meeting, through its iterative cycle, strengthens the intra-community social ties and the maintenance of the practice, whose foundation of which is to welcome and be welcomed.
