Entre Orixás, Nkisis e Voduns: política e religião como referências culturais

Abstract

From different perspectives, we analyze the strategies with which the Candomble communities have been organizing to dialogue with the public authorities. Applying the concept of agency, we reflect on the experience of mobilizing the Terreiro Tumba Junsara community to carry out its listing processes (at the state and federal levels). We propose to understand the representativeness/political mediation system of Candomblé and the identification of behaviors and political strategies that are in line with its cultural and sacred references.
