(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-06-02) COSTA, Ana Claúdia Pinto da; MOREIRA, Giselle da Cruz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8636836292392296; CAMARGO, Giselle Guilhon Antunes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2551648142775344
This research investigated through the theoretical and methodological field of Anthropology of Dance, the Body Prayer Malachim, in order to understand and reveal their ritual structure, its symbolism and its implicit cosmology. The Malachim dance is a contemporary choreography, included in the repertoire of twelve dances from original work of Frida Zalcman entitled Hebrew Dances of Praise, inspired by a set of prayers sung in Jewish Congregation of Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro. Transformed into veritable prayers in motion, are danced in several groups of Sacred Circle Dances, both in Brazil and abroad. The research is part of a broader study about the Body Prayers, guided in this particular case, by the precepts of Kabbalah, the Tree of Life, taking into consideration the four worlds and their energy emanations (Sefirot). Hypothetically the Sacred Circle Dances can work as a kind of tool of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing, thanks to its sacredness, strongly present in every movement performed. This is a qualitative ethnographic research, whose fieldwork was conducted in Belém do Pará, in August 2013, when Frida Zalcman gave a workshop at the “School of Theatre and Dance” at the Federal University of Pará (ETDUFPA). Hopefully, with this research, other studies might emerge to investigate this dance form, further expanding their understanding as well as their inclusion in available bibliography from Sacred Circle Dances.

Festa de santo na cidade: notas sobre uma pesquisa etnográfica na periferia de Belém, Pará, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-04) COSTA, Antonio Maurício Dias da
The article draws on other studies about the playful dimension of popular religion in the Amazon to reflect on the results of ethnographic fieldwork carried out on a patron saint's festival in the outskirts of contemporary Belém, in the Brazilian state of Pará. Numerous elements exogenous to the religious ritual such as advertising, economic tradeoffs and political motivations were observed to transform the meanings of religious devotion. The study reveals the dynamic nature of the reproduction of popular religion within the context of diverse popular festivities in different social-spatial realities in the Amazon. Religious devotion and 'practical sense' are entwined in the process of transforming the event, revealing the complexity of social exchanges practiced in a patron saint's festival at a large urban scale.

The terreiro Mina Nagô Cabocla Mariana and Tapinaré das Matas, located in Igarapé-Açu, is one of the main Afro-religious centers in the municipality, as it has diferente bodies, sexualited and genders expressions that escape heteronormativity, especially gay men, who inhabt space and enhance the ritualistic dynamics. In this way, the research aims to undertand how the place of male homossexuality is given in Terreiro Mina Nagô Cabocla Mariana and Tapinaré das Matas, either as a wheel or as sympathizer of religion, whose experience are woven with the various sacred gifts presente in space. The experiences, memories and relationships built between gay men and entities were analyzed based on ethnography, which is based on demonstrating the instabilty of the bonds formed during rituals, tours conversations and conflicts. In addition, open interviews with gay interlocutors and entities helped to understand their subjetivities, conceptions and meanings. Therefore, such dynamics (re)produced in the terreiro serve as instruments to enhance contacts between gay men, caboclos, exus, erês, pretovelhos, among other entities that populate the visible and invisible of the terreiro. In this way, I analyze how these dissidente bodies are also parto f the constitution of the sacred in the umbanda house.

Pastorinha is a theatrical expression whose fulfillment is connected to the Christmas' celebration. This dissertation's proposal is to show ethnographic description and anthropological analysis as much for the staging as for the groups that do it, in the city of Belém in ours days. After the presentation of social actors and spaces and an explanation about its historic past and its artistic shape, the ritual cycle's description starts. To do this, the most important information's source is the direct observation of two pastorinhas: A Filha de Sion and Os Filhos de Judá. They are temporary groups, constituted, mainly, by teenagers and their leaders are women without husband or children. It´s striking the antistructural character of the ritual process. Further on, it proportions apprenticeship as much about the knowledge required to do the staging as other, that the leaders think that are necessary to the inclusion on the social life.

Noivado e ritos pré-nupciais: um estudo sobre significados, experiências e codificações de uma unidade cultural
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-24) ALENCAR, Breno Rodrigo de Oliveira; RODRIGUES, Carmem Izabel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5924616509771424
This thesis aims to identify the place of engagement and prenuptial rites in anthropo-logical theory. Based on the concept of cultural unity, it analyzes the way in which bridal beliefs and behaviors are formulated, stimulated or repressed having as an interface the decomposition of the codes that make this ritual the main expression of the alliance process in urban segments. Drawing attention to the literature review, the first part of the work emphasizes the plurality of interpretive cut-outs and the relevance of enga-gement as a category of analysis, whether within contemporary rituals or the interpre-tation of the alliance in kinship studies. This part of the thesis is also dedicated to iden-tifying the values, processes and symbols that regulate the choice of engagement as a type of relationship in the urban world, adopting, as a source of reflection, the contri-butions of Thales de Azevedo and the vocabulary that permeates their meanings in social networks, press and cinema. The second part of the thesis emphasizes the in-terlocution with the subjects, having the same occurred from interviews conducted as bride and groom in the city of Belém, Teresina and Brasília. Its purpose is to describe the process by which bridal codes are incorporated into the biography and socialization of the interlocutors, taking into account their role as agents and interpreters of this experience. The third part, finally, explores the mediation carried out by the market and the Catholic Church, which, acting as codifying institutions, discipline, respectively, the symbols around the nuptial ritualization and the values and meanings related to the conjugal identity. This approach is based on ethnographic research conducted at Bridal Fairs and Marriage Preparation Meetings ("engagement courses") in the cities of Be-lém and Teresina.
