Pombo, pato, galinha, bode: bichos em trânsito! Estudo etnográfico sobre as apropriações de animais no Ilé asé Iyá Ogunté - um templo de candomblé na Amazônia

Abstract

The present work aims to investigate the various forms of appropriation social, cultural and magical-religious context of faunal biodiversity in the temple of candomble Ilé asé Iyá Ogunté. Using approaches to studies included in Ethnoecology, as well as conducting ethnography of the religious center. Although the relationship between religion and nature living in the founding basis, and organizing design of candomblé, there are very few studies on the appropriation of animals in religious centers, and usually the ones that exist, are concentrated in the production of inventories almost always devoid of context. In general, studies involving appropriations of nature are concentrated in rural areas and little attention has been directed to urban populations. Thereby circumventing this framework, the present study aims to investigate the ways in which human groups appropriate the biological diversity in the context of candomblé and what their contributions to the cultural enrichment.
