The main objective is to identify, understand and interpret the interactions that occur in the circular dances of the cultural collective Mana - Mani in Belém do Pará. We specifically seek to identify the communicative dimension of individual and collective actions that occur in the round dance; verify how the communicative dimension of interactions give possibilities to the symbolic interactions in circular dance and describe the communicative interactions that occurs in Mana-Mani's circular dances. The theoretical framework mainly discusses notions as “interactional devices”, in José Luiz Braga; “common spirit” and “mediatic society” in Rachel Paiva and Muniz Sodré and “community perception” and “emotional world” in Michel Mafessoli. Thereby we made a tensioning approach between theories and empirical research with the observations and researcher's interpretations. Our methodological focus was predominantly qualitative (interpretive) and was based on the phenomenological-pragmatic approach, seeking to reveal the intrinsic characteristics, actions and reactions that were derived from interactions observed in the group’s context. We worked with bibliographical and field research with participant observations, field diary, unstructured interviews and application of semi-structured forms to collect testimonials from participants and former participants. Regarding practical implications of the work, we seek to understand forms of communication occurring in socio-cultural experience within a specifically noted context and to recognizing internal and external influences that promotes communicative interactions. By results, we comprehend that the interactions occurring in circular dances of the cultural collective Mana-Mani interplays five elements: 1) The me, fundamental and irreplaceable part that adds personal motivations to participate in the circular dances, either by spontaneous curiosity a new discovery, or the need for self-knowledge and awakening pulse pleasures that are or throbbing, or seemed asleep; 2) the other - the raw material for the various interactions that occurs in the circular dances, always asymmetrically, with the particular experiences and knowledge of each integrant; 3) the ritual of the circle dances, inspired by Amazon’s cultural matrices, with its philosophy, promoting the contact between the participants; 4) the everyday life, with the re-enchantment of the world experienced and with its difficulties to face the physical, psychological and communicative limits of the personal behavior and 5) the intersubjectivity, that occurs relevant and intensely in the circular dances interactions of the group with their symbolic and intersubjective dimensions.porAcesso AbertoComunicaçãoInteração culturalDança circularMana-ManíBelém - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::COMUNICACAO::JORNALISMO E EDITORACAO::JORNALISMO ESPECIALIZADO (COMUNITARIO, RURAL, EMPRESARIAL, CIENTIFICO)
