- Title
Perspectivismo Ameríndio nos Discursos Mitificados do Catolicismo Popular na Amazônia.
- Authors
Freitas Reis, Marcos Vinicius; Torres Pereira, Marcos Paulo
- Abstract
This article aims to problematize, through the theoretical contributions of the post-colonial studies, the catholic church's colonization project towards the Amapaense Amazon's popular catholicism - such as the Myth of Cobra Grande - constituted as a project evolved around eurocentric and judeo-christian assumptions to the detriment of afro-amerindian cultural, identity and religious expressions, of catholic communities in the urban and rural areas of the brazilian Amazon. The amazonian population develops strategies of resistance and re-existence in order to maintain their religious traditions around festa dos santos (festival of saints), pilgrimages, festivities, rosaries, quermesses, and other activities as forms of origins establishment or origins return for the foundation of a narrative identity.
