| Sumario: | In this paper we wish to analyze meaning-making processes which take place around the construction of a well-known figure of Afro-Brazilian religions: the Pombagira. In order to do so, we present three Brazilian Popular Music songs which are frequently mentioned in Umbanda centers, starting from a dialogical and polyphonic view of language (BAKHTIN, 2011). We observe that the images configured by the lyrics of the songs produce a place that disqualifies the figure of the Pombagira, especially because it inscribes depreciative senses that, denouncing their non-hegemony, confirm the hegemony of another, since language produces relations and not attributes. |
