Quando os baianos se pintaram de Dourado(s): aspectos das práticas religiosas umbandistas da cidade de Dourados - MS

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present na analysis of “Baino’s gira” as the product of a dialogue between the “Umbanda” and the social life. To make this analysis I limited mine studing issue to Dourados because this city has a link of development with the northeasten migration. It is responsible to form one of elements that I call contributors to create this new character that joins the “umbandísticos” rituals: the Baianos. Some bibliography was analysed and used as the base to the theorical understanding about the imaginary and the representative as well as they contributes for a faster recuperation of the Umbanda History in Brazil. The analysis refers to the dialogue between the spirits using a body, in other words, Baianos and Dourados City. It was based on a fiels trip during the visits in 2004 and 2005. On this field trip, I put together both the methodology of deep description, and interviews referred in the Oral History Area. These were the analyzed information to compound the two last chapters of this work that is more anthropological than historical. About the last chapter we may emphasive that, by the influence of Hubert Fichte work, it was organized like as an ethnic poetry, in wich we presented the most relevant stories of life that I undstood to be the final product, in the practice, trough the other person’s voice, of this analysis.
