A THICK THROUGH ANCESTALITY: ZAMBÊRACATU NATION, MATRIARCADO AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN EGBÉ (COMMUNITY) AFRO POTIGUAR
Maracatu-nation. Matriarchy. Ancestrality. Identity.
This work seeks to reflect on the Maracatu-nation as a cultural manifestation of struggle and resistance, having as reference for studies and analyzes the marigold potiguar, Nação Zambêracatu, from the relations and meanings with the black ancestry worshiped in the religions of Afro-Brazilian matrix , ties involved by religious, cultural and political aspects. Based on the meanings constituted in these relationship processes, we propose to understand the conceptions of tradition and the construction of a black identity, especially about the meanings of a matriarchy within a maracatu-nation, thinking it as a central element for the understanding and worship of black ancestry and formation of meaning Egbé (community). The methodological procedures are arranged in such a way that the choice of authors and methodology is related to demarcating territory of social belonging and giving voice to racialized intellectuals, along the lines of Afro-descendant research (CUNHA JUNIOR) and having clerkship (EVARISTO, C), as form of writing, taking the place of the being who plays, and writes, using the valuation of the spoken word and orality, as an element that gives birth to writing (A. HAMPATÉ BÁ) and also from participant observation linked to the perspective of the affected being ( FAVRET-SAADA).
