Centro Espírita e Tambor de Mina Iansã e Oxóssi Caboclo Roxo: religiosidade, identidade e condição feminina em um terreiro da periferia de São Luís no tempo presente

Abstract

The Mine Drum in São Luís has long been studied in São Luís, however, such works have always been located in the central zones of the city, denying to the background all other practices and terreiros existing in the periphery of the city. The present work, thinks the Mine Drum from the life trajectory of Dona Maria Zucí Clovier and her daughters of santo, located in the Spiritist Center and Drum of Mine Iansã and Oxóssi Caboclo Roxo (CETMIO), in the sense of signaling the inexistence of borders between these Afro-religious practices in terreiros of the periphery of the city. To think the life trajectory of this woman does not signal to the typical existing in the periphery that is not reached by speeches and definitions from the academy. In addition, it signals us towards the denaturalization created in relation to socially constructed sites for men and women. From the narratives elaborated by Mrs. Zucí, we will point out how the gender relations established within the terreiro are differentiated, removing women from the role of submissive, and in fact demonstrating the equity existing in these spaces that are also disputes.
