Fluxo de axé em uma Pelotas sacralizada: etnografia da grande festa pelos passeios pela cidade.

Abstract

This dissertation brings itself from the paths of a religious self - ethnography, where the ancestry of a black people territorializing a space that claims as well as yours. I try to understand the flow of axé in a Sacralized Pelotas, through the ethnography of the Great Party for the city tours. In the first chapter I present the Great Festival, pointing the insertion of the ride in an African Matrix rite of the Cabinda nation. The tour demonstrates the journey and construction of symbolic sites within an urban space. Walking through the market, beach, church, cruises, woods, waterfalls is part of the spiritual and ritual offer of these religions. In the second chapter, from the experience of several interlocutors, Babalorixás, Iyalorixás and Iyaos (children of the houses), learned by interviews and observations about the tour of different houses, I show the plurality, approximations and differences of these rituals in Pelotas. The third chapter presents conflicts in the ritualization and respect for religious practices in the urban space.
