SUMMARY:

In Brazil, the discourses produced around faith on digital social networks draw attention to the barrier of beliefs, built on the stigmatization of non-Christian religions. On Instagram, interactions denounce customs of the old diaspora, based on the stigma that creates practices of religious racism in cyberspace. However, in the face of this stigmatizing movement, there is a pulse of decoloniality. We can see the rise of discourses that signal the affirmation of terreiro peoples in the recognition and propagation of the founding black and indigenous identities in the cult of ancestors, going against the order of the condemned of the earth. And so we ask: how do the discursive materialities of traditional terreiro communities in Assú/RN inscribe decoloniality in the subjectivities produced on their Instagram profiles? The general objective of this research is to analyze how these discursive materialities produced by religious communities of Candomblé, Jurema, Umbanda and Quimbanda in Assú, Rio Grande do Norte, published on Instagram, inscribe an order of decoloniality in the production of other subjectivities and in the resignification of presence in a digital context. Methodologically, this research is supported by the qualitative-interpretivist paradigm, within the scope of Language Studies, with a focus on an indisciplinary Applied Linguistics, through an intersectional debate, also anchored in the discourse analysis proposed by Foucault, in the digital discourse analysis proposed by Marie-Anne Paveau, as well as the discussions developed by Cultural Studies in the analysis of contemporary phenomena. As objects of investigation, we selected six public profiles of traditional Assuvian terreiro communities on Instagram. As discursive material for analysis, we listed the profile bio, traffic metrics on the social network (such as number of followers, publications and engagement) posts published in the feed (including reels, reposts and image carousel), with image/video and description, as well as comments posted on the network. The analysis suggests a decolonial effort on the part of these communities to produce dissident subjectivities in their profiles, using the discursive process of resignification to meet the instagram requirements in order to remain on the network. The presence of terreiro peoples on Instagram reveals their own mode of discourse, using instagram strategies to inscribe the otherness of their manifestations, despite the algorithmic and religious racisms that make up the online dynamics of interaction in the colonial project.
