SUMMARY:

This study considers that religious movements are present in diverse areas of reality, whether in rural or countryside settings, and that they are formed by collectives of people and focus on the complex relationship between domination and subordination. It argues that these actions are organized around problems and conflicts present in the lived experience of the people. It also points out that common interest functions as a synthesis of the collective identity of these groups and is an indispensable part of the process of social transformation. Therefore, its main objective is to analyze religiosity as a determinant of women's participation in the Canudos resistance movement. From this starting point, the following guiding questions are established: Who were the women of the Canudos movement? How did women participate in the resistance actions in the Arraial de Belo Monte? What factors led to the invisibility of the participation of women in Canudos? What characteristics make Canudos a contradictory resistance movement? The study will use a qualitative approach, based on documentary and bibliographic analysis. Initial data collected so far points to the fact that when we examine social movements in Brazil, especially those occurring in the Northeast, there is a frequent lack of awareness of the revolutionary potential of these movements by the participants themselves, which may have contributed to a certain fragmentation of these movements. It also points to a precarious and confused record of the effective participation of women in resistance actions in the Canudos movement, as well as in other movements that occurred in Northeast Brazil, where the different activities performed by women are not adequately valued.
