Religião Católica: fronteiras e símbolos do sagrado de entre-lugares Amazônicos
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2018-03-14) Lima, Geórgia Pereira
This paper focuses on presenting men’s and women’s social experiences in in-between places of the borderlands between Brazil and Bolivia, in the symbolic field of the sacred in Plácido de Castro (Acre/Brazil) and Santa Rosa del Abuná (Pando/Bolivia). These bor-derland spaces produced complex elements of culture (Bhabha, 2005) and of religiosities that enable analysis of the recreations of the social, cultural, religious and plural universes of that binational borderland. The processions of the “Bom Jesus do Abunã” (Acre) andof the “Virgem de Santa Rosa” (Pando), held by the catholic faith, indicate that the church presents itself as one of the cultural and religious references that transposes borders, ex-trapolating the geopolitical limits of Latin-Amazonic countries. However, this catholic universe also makes it possible to see the interactions and the influence of national bor-ders. Thus, we indicate that the continuity and discontinuity of borders and religions ex-poses, under the symbol of the sacred, which is manifest through the faith on part of the devotees and of the processions offered to saints from those places, the in-between place of catholic religion as a symbolic border (Bauman, 2001). Keywords: Brasivianos; Symbolic border; Virgem de Santa Rosa; Religiosity.
