| Sumario: | This paper describes black memories and devotion festivities in Brazil through participant observation and comparative analysis. In order to do so, we seek to investigate Nossa Senhora do Rosário’s festivity in a small village in Minas Gerais and Nossa Senhora do Rosário and São Benedito’s festivity in downtown Rio de Janeiro, through an analytical category: the braided. These festivities reveal devotions to entities classified as Santos de Cor, resignifying symbolic relations between black people and slavery and social inequality. Therefore, we attempt to identify two predominant issues. Firstly, how devotions can involve and mediate followers in a circle of human and non-human relationships, where spirits and objects are materialized. Secondly, how a set of symbolic systems becomes a central point to express the braided, a category of social thought, in the different manifestations of Brazilian Catholicism. |
