Abstract in Portuguese
Este trabalho é uma etnografia das práticas sociais que tornam visíveis os processos de criação de sentidos e vínculos com a marca Harley-Davidson pelos pilotos que frequentaram os encontros do H.O.G. Harley Owners Group na cidade de São Paulo, entre maio de 2009 a fevereiro de 2011. Por meio da combinação das técnicas de observação participante, entrevistas e análise de imagens, busco entender quais as dimensões do envolvimento com a marca. A tese apresenta uma análise da organização do H.O.G. na capital paulista e acompanha o movimento dos pilotos para identificar as relações que se formam entre eles, e entre eles e a marca. A partir de imagens cinematográficas é possível identificar a constituição de um quadro de referências que inspiram a performance dos pilotos que participam das viagens semanais. A importância das imagens neste universo é reforçada pela fotografia, prática comum nos encontros e que auxiliou na identificação do que é entendido por Estilo Harley e a categoria daí decorrente o harleiro. O pertencimento ao grupo é resultado da articulação de vários elementos que envolvem a estetização da motocicleta e do piloto. Alguns aspectos escolhidos e compartilhados pelo grupo caracterizam uma masculinidade hegemônica que orienta comportamento, discurso e a experiência de consumo da marca. Finalizo o trabalho fazendo uma reflexão sobre o conceito de marca e os vínculos criados com ela.

Abstract in English
This paper is an ethnographic study of the social practices that make the creation processes of meanings and links with the Harley-Davidson brand visible by the riders that attended the rides of the H.O.G - Harley Owners Group - in São Paulo city between May 2009 and February 2011. I try to understand the dimensions of brand involvement by combining the participant observation techniques, interviews and image analysis. This thesis presents an analysis of the H.O.G. organization in São Paulo city and follows the movement of the riders in order to identify the relations that are formed among them and between the riders and the brand. Through the use of film images it is possible to identify the constitution of a frame of reference which inspires the performance of the riders who participate in weekly rides. In this universe the importance of the images is reinforced by the photographs, a common practice in the events and that helped to identify what is understood as Harley Style and the deriving category the harleyro. Belonging to the group is the result of the articulation of several elements that involve the aestheticization of the motorcycle and the rider. Some aspects chosen and shared by the group characterize a hegemonic masculinity that guides the behavior, discourse and the brand consumption experience. I finish this paper reflecting on the concept of brand and the links created with it.
