Um baque pela ancestralidade: nação zamberacatu, pertencimento e construção de um Egbé (comunidade) Afro-Potiguar

Abstract

This work seeks to dialogue about Maracatu Nation as a cultural manifestation of struggle and resistance. Be a Maracatu Nation means to have a close relationship with ancestry worshiped in the Afro-Brazilian parent religions. In this sense, I use elements of the African worldview (OLIVEIRA, 2020) to design ways of belong to the Zamberacatu Nation to yard people, building than an Egbé, an Afro-Potiguar society. Understanding that in this building there are religious, cultural and political aspects, this work seeks to structure itself, studying the relationships developed in the context of the manifestation, which trigger significant processes to dialogue about tradition in the contemporaneity, the construction of a black identity and meanings of a matriarchy within a maracatu nation, consider it as a central element to the understanding of the ancestry worship.The methodological procedures are arranged so that the choice of authors and methodology has relation with demarcate territory of social belonging and giving voice to the racialized intellectuals, as a writing strategy about the black population that starts from itself in the molds of Afro-descendant research (CUNHA JUNIOR, 2013), having the escrevivência (EVARISTO, 2017) as a way of taking the place of the being who plays and seeks, who is a researcher and researched. I also use the valuation of the spoken word, orality, as an element that gives birth to writing (A. HAMPATÉ BÁ, 2010) and observation linked to the perspective of being affected (FAVRETSAADA, 1990), in a perspective of building a text that approaches experimental writing (FLEISCHER, 2018) with fluidity and that evokes horizons.
