Master Thesis O Ofício das Rezadeiras: um estudo antropológico sobre as práticas terapêuticas e a comunhão de crenças em Cruzeta/RN(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2007-03-23) Santos, Francimário Vito dos; Vale, Carlos Guilherme Octaviano do; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7578005376543804; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6290131890386615; Schwade, Elisete; ; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4794937U4; Duarte, Luiz Fernando Dias; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3609191414737777; Freitas, Eliane Tânia Martins de; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8202430744079222The present Master´s dissertation aims to study the practices of the rezadeiras, Brazilian women healers, through an anthropological perspective. Special attention will be given to the understanding of these practices as a dynamic process in relation to those women who heal in Cruzeta (Seridó, Rio Grande do Norte), where is located our ethnographic research. For this research, twenty four rezadeiras were contacted and colaborated with our work plan. Among them, two were pentecostal rezadeiras and another one was member of the Jurema cult, an afro-brazilian religious cult. Similarities among these women healers were perceived in the research process, mostly in terms of their learning process and the use of certain objects and ritual techniques. However, apparent differences among them gave us the chance for understanding and reflecting on the actual heterogeneity of this world of specialists. Furthermore, i tried to capture the relations between the rezadeiras and the therapeutic practices from health professionals or the religious practices of religious leaders (Catholic, pentecostal, etc). It is possible to ascertain about the complementarity between therapeutic practices from different cultural logics. This complementarity is also perceived through the religious interchanges and transits among different healers, including those who have different religious beliefs. In this work, rituals are also described and they are a crucial factor to the understanding of this particular religious and therapeutic practice conducted by women. Following these ideas, our basic aim is to understand how the rezadeiras make interpretations about health and illness, specially those ones which are particular associated with their practices, the so called "doenças de rezadeiras"Master Thesis Sociabilidades e hedonismos: etnografia entre jovens usuários de substâncias psicoativas sintéticas Fortaleza Ceará(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2009-09-21) Alcântara, Jaína Linhares; Vale, Carlos Guilherme Octaviano do; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7578005376543804; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3373071818150007; Grunewald, Rodrigo; ; Pereira, Edmundo Marcelo Mendes; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6628113763709058; Freitas, Eliane Tânia Martins de; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8202430744079222This dissertation shows a comparison between practices related to the body, to identities and to the health of young drug takers of synthetic and manipulated psychoactive substances living in Fortaleza. Through ethnographic accompaniment of parties and two social nets of young people I was able to verify the differences and similarities that make these addicted singular and plural in their notion of ethos and world vision. Notions of being hippie/alternative and being punk are present between these nets. Because their use and circulation are developed in environments usually distinct, it is possible to trace singular aspects between the nets and its actions. In parallel, on the attempt to build a triangulated data, I had information related to youth and drugs in local media and in governmental institutions bound to health mental and city security policies. With this junction of data I present a perspective to questions evolving formal and informal important controls to the conduction of their lives and identities. I present this as a sequel to well developed studies in Brasil about youth in interface to drug use, although still not very explored in the state of Ceará.Master Thesis Etnografia visual das mangabeiras nas matas do tabuleiro costeiro.(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2009-08-17) Fernandes, Henrique José Cocentino; Coradini, Lisabete; ; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4785895Z8; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5441257818527382; Miller, Francisca de Souza; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6834637163914977; Mendonça, João Martinho Braga; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2286031848010519This work is an ethnographic research with collectors women of Mangaba in the village of Ponta Negra in Natal - RN.

Taking the ethnography as main tool of production of data, the focus of the research takes dimension, when in the course of the ethnography situation, they come out, from certain events, social dramas that if ramify in crises, conflicts, faccionalismo. I analyze the mechanisms elaborated for the group to neutralize these dramas , such as the constitution of a tribal court , composites for native mediators and external mediators, dynamics ritual processes and politicians.Master Thesis O zambê é nossa cultura: o coco de zambê e a emergência étnica em Sibaúma, Tibau do Sul-RN(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2009-07-10) Lins, Cyro Holando de Almeida; Cavignac, Julie Antoinette; ; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4768171A6; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8384506636879218; Pereira, Edmundo Marcelo Mendes; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6628113763709058; Carvalho, Maria do Rosário de Fátima de; ; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/index.jsp; Freitas, Eliane Tânia Martins de; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8202430744079222The coco de zambê is a dance of which origin is credited to old slaves who inhabited the coastalregion of Rio Grande do Norte. The zambê appears intensely in the narratives related to the past and present of Sibaúma, a quilombola community located in the southern coast of the state. It is conceived as a sign of ethnicity linked to a local black ancestry. The group is known as "remnant of Quilombo," and is demanding the process of territorial settlement, as guaranteed through the Brazilian federal constitution. The coco de zambê, presented as a kind of "certificate of ancestry to the group, besides, after a long period of abandonment, the dance is beeing "revitalized" and exploited by a part of the group alongside the demands for recognition. In this process there are several interlinked actors: NGOs, state agencies to promote the culture, representatives of public authorities and local leaders. Here, I'm interested in understanding how this process of revival occurs with the coco de zambê in Sibaúma: how a "brincadeira" (play) of the ancients comes to be a "cultural reference" and a means of political mobilization concerning their recognitionMaster Thesis Gênero e relações de poder no Pentecostalismo: estudo comparativo entre a Igreja de Cristo no Brasil e a Comunidade Evangélica Sara Nossa Terra(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2009-09-08) Fonseca, Jean-claude Rodrigues da; Freitas, Eliane Tânia Martins de; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8202430744079222; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6257276908535847; Souza, Alexandre Carneiro de; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9958649797821187; Assunção, Luiz Carvalho de; ; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4780134H6; Osorio, Andrea Barbosa; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6909409179119225Based on the empirical comparative study between two churches from Pentecostal guidance - both located in Parnamirim/RN - and supported on a dialogic interaction between my interlocutors and theoretical references, I proposed me to reflect about how this protestant segment represents and articulates questions such as gender and power relationships, and the daily impact of that in their followers life. In other words, this dissertation aims to understand the reason of the asymmetry attributed to male and female, especially in what concerns the distribution of ecclesiastic works and the authority given to male, as well as the implication of this reality in the reconfiguration of morality and religious praxis in daily life of individuals and involved groups. From this perspective, this work was divided in three chapters, in which I investigate the tension/relationship between faith and secularism, for from this question on concessions and/or prohibitions related to the limits and involvement of the followers with the world and with the very Pentecostal ethos arise. I also analyze here aspects concerning to both ecclesiastic hierarchy and power, with the objective of elucidating how it occurs, what kind of criteria and implications they consider as well as about the nature of the religious labor division between men and women and, finally, I try to understand how the conversion/adhesion of members is reflected in the redefinitions of gender and its relationship between the ecclesiastical and domestic spaces. The diligence and energy spent in this work is in the hope that its fruits can corroborate in the expansion of anthropological knowledge which, in this particular case, involves the Brazilian Pentecostal phenomenonMaster Thesis Nunca deixamos de ser índio : educação escolar e experiência na(da) cidade entre os Ramkokamekrá-kanela / Rodolpho Rodrigues de Sá(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2009-08-28) Sá, Rodolpho Rodrigues de; Chianca, Luciana de Oliveira; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4264064005369443; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8321980343039829; Pinheiro, Rosa Aparecida; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6292207464385037; Batista, Mércia Rejane Rangel; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2393048148588630; Pereira, Edmundo Marcelo Mendes; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6628113763709058In this work I analyse the Ramkokamekrá-Kanela situation that migrate with the purpose to study out of the village. For this, I use an analysis of their social organization and their historic process. I intend to map out part of the indigenist school education policies, understand like an uniformization official instrument of differences, and the kind of this relationship with the migration village-city. I propose a students migration reading to the urban centers from the social organization of the society in focus, as their narratives and representation. I draft an interpretation of this process like ensued also the indigenist society researched internal dynamic and not only like resulted of external actions. The research focus in experimented cases by the Ramkokamekrá-Kanela that, coming out their village (Escalvado Village), desplace theirselves to study in urban centers, mairly in Barra do Corda MAMaster Thesis Da cozinha ao terreiro em Mutamba da Caieira (RN) : cotidiano, espaço doméstico e sociabilidade(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2008-09-15) Silva, Marilu Albano da; Cavignac, Julie Antoinette; ; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4768171A6; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2676150239002335; Chianca, Luciana de Oliveira; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4264064005369443In this work we thought about the social use of the domestic space and, specifically, the space destined to the preparation of food. The kitchen is a creative space of social relationships. There the families exchange daily interaction with the neighbors, in a collective of the space reserved to the making of food. Our empiric research was in the Mutamba da Caieira community, located in the county of Assu (RN). The data was collected through the etnographic method aided by the photographic resources. In the discussion, we delimitated at the house three types of kitchens: one reserved to the family, another kitchen in the terrace and yet another kitchen in the yard. They are kitchens that link amongst themselves with activities and differentiated temporalities. In the daily social exchange, the kitchen imposes itself as a social space through the conditions that it offers for the production of the foods, the circulation of domestic objects, the communication of knowledge around the cookery, operating a group of symbolic and ritual actions combined with appropriate techniques for the transformation of the foods. The study reveals that the domestic chores accomplished amon relatives and friends form webs of intracommunitary relationships in the use of the three kitchens, and that the social network is updated in a singular moment that usually happens in the community, the Game of PacaráMaster Thesis Os exus em casa de catiço : etnografia, representações, magia(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2008-09-19) Queiroz, Marcos Alexandre de Souza; Assunção, Luiz Carvalho de; ; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4780134H6; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8119574093419313; Concone, Maria Helena Villas Boas; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5115560238680444; Freitas, Eliane Tânia Martins de; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8202430744079222This dissertation is the result of an ethnographic journey undertaken in three spiritual centers of Umbanda , located in different districts of Natal/RN. The aim of the study was to understand how the representations of exus (spirit category) are established in the studied religious environment. In order to study this, mythical narratives of songs and of people were analyzed. In addition, the incorporated spirit entities, loaded with codes and values, were possible to be read and understood. The present work was developed according to a theoretical and methodological approach that interprets culture as a constant construction process, with representations and significations. The empirical research focuses on the ethnographic observations and the narratives; providing the experimentation of the models of discursive dialogues and polyphony. It was observed that the studied empirical field is marked by the cult of the Jurema which influences the mythical construction of exus . Therefore, this study enabled a reflection on the meeting of notions of two distinct worlds ( Umbanda and Jurema ). This reflection is crucial to the understanding of the position that exus occupy in the local umbandista systemMaster Thesis Relações interétnicas em conflito entre Makuxi e Wapixana na terra indígena Raposa Serra do Sol(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2008-08-28) Almeida, Wanderley Gurgel de; Miller, Francisca de Souza; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6834637163914977; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4408763209222296; Pereira, Edmundo Marcelo Mendes; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6628113763709058; Athias, Renato Monteiro; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3820775754333816This dissertation present an analysis of the interethnic conflict between Makuxi and Wapixana at the current moment in the Maloca of the Adobe, Aboriginal Land Fox-Mountain range of the Sun, in the State of Roraima. The theoretical field was boarded in the Ethnology, pursuing situations in local history, with edges in ethno-history. The research elapsed of the deepening necessity on the social relations and aboriginal politics, for the intercultural professional exercise of educator, appealing the bibliographical survey and participant comment as method; not directive interviews, photographs, filmings and daily register in of field, as techniques carried through in the period of 2006 to 2007. Although to inhabit in the same area and to establish marriages between itself, individuals and groups express tensions, aggravated with the landmark and legal recognition of the area, which generated inter dispute and intraetnias, mainly with the intrusion of farmers, rizicultores and the form of governmental influence. A relation of rivalry, individual and collective was evidenced, suggesting the strengthenig and not it fractionly, of the fights external politics, interns and in way to the cultural diversity and social adversity
