Diásporas de encantados na Amazônia Bragantina
(2015-06) SILVA, Jerônimo da Silva e; PACHECO, Agenor Sarraf
Starting from ethnographic exercises, the text presents diasporic experiences of women mourners that when migrating from northeastern Brazil to “Amazon Bragantina”, in Pará State, from the 1950s, whose lives were marked by the initiation process with the entities of the Brazilian enchant (Prandi, 2004). On overnight trips to cemeteries, transfiguration, physical transport, clairvoyance and wanderings in animal bodies, winds and waters, these mourners revisited “worlds” and ancient “times”, going to talk with shamans and “powerful” chanters of Maranhão, Paraíba, Piauí and Ceará, letting people see and delighted in other senses of displacement. The belief in the ability of entities to monitor persons holding the “gift of praying” to the Pará, as well as continually transitioning these sites, nomadizando up (Deleuze; Guattari, 1995) between “there” and “here”, constitute the phenomenon of “diaspora of the enchanted” (Brah, 2011; Hall, 1999, 2009). Living with these women teaches, among other things, to defend conceptions of meetings and displacements of cultures that perceive the radical otherness of the cosmology of the human sciences, even when one believes this faithfully situated in places of departure, passage and arrival of movements, forgetting often it is not the place, but the material and symbolic transits.

Nas dobras da memória oficial: cidade, imagem e história na voz de rezadeiras de Capanema-PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) SILVA, Jerônimo da Silva e; PACHECO, Agenor Sarraf
In Capanema, northeastern Pará, prayer women, motivated by photographs, weave historical narratives unfolding trajectories of Northeastern migrants to the city, producing conflicting representations of daily urban life. Through sensibilities woven in symbiosis of body, voice and images, the narrators produce reading practices that allow questioning the conventional writing of local history, enshrined in mental games of hundreds of residents. This article, therefore, following the methodology of oral history and dialoguing with Cultural Studies and Anthropology of Religion scholars, when comparing the reading of official images with the interpretation given by the prayers on plots and dramas on the town, under a view "from below” and popular perspective, challenge crystallized imaginary, bringing to the writing of history other experiences and cultural landscapes, commonly placed in the folds of portraits framed by the discourse of hegemonic power.
