Abstract
The research seeks to reflect on the processes of individuation in the light of the collective practices associated with jazz performance, in the Brazilian and Portuguese context, making use of the theories of Individual Sociology based on two cases: Tabajara Orchestra in Brazil and, in Portugal, Matosinhos Jazz Orchestra. From the problematic proposal some questions are unfolded. Among them, the main question is: what is the role of the ways of making music in the individuation process of individuals? The central objective of this research is to describe the groups studied from individuals who are socially individualized. To that end, focusing on the work of Danilo Martuccelli (2005, 2007, 2010, 2014, 2012), the notion of "daily challenges" is used as a strategic analytical operator, in the sense of establishing connections between collective transformations and individual experiences. The methodology includes ethnographic study, fieldwork (use of techniques such as interviews and participant observation) and bibliographical and documentary research.
