Abstract

Rodeos are a traditional manifestation in Northeastern Brazil. Its recognition as a professional activity has been marked by new rules and demands and, among them, control risks historically associated to that practice. Considering such changes, this research investigated how risk perception has mobilized everyday life of a group of rodeo professionals. We used qualitative approach and held active observation along with semi-structured interviews. Subjects were 19 rodeo professionals; data analysis was guided based on interpretive anthropology. Subjects acknowledge risk management as individual responsibility. They find stimuli at the new rodeo dynamics for reflection seen as fundamental to mitigate threats. Through knowledge and technically oriented actions, they rationalize the dangers of their rodeo routine by cultivating bodily as well as emotional dispositions that guarantee their permanence in that universe.
