| Resumo: | This dissertation is an ethnography about the performance of social actors who participate in cockfights on the north coast of the state of Paraiba, Brazil – a region characterized by historical interethnic contact between indigenous of the ethnic group Potiguara and the non-indigenous population. Along the fieldwork, I realized that the cockfights are a male ritual practice widespread in the region: occurring inside and outside indigenous territory, with the participation of the indigenous and non-indigenous. Therefore, this research is an anthropological exercise of understanding of a limiting situation, which is inserted in hiding and in an ethnic border zone. Accordingly, I do the following question: how is the interaction between indigenous and non-indigenous in an illegal ritual event characterized by the symbolic confrontation and that has non-humans animals like main characters? Order to answer this question, I use the “anthropology of performance” as an epistemological and methodological filter and I analyze these cockfights in order to understand and describe which routines, settings, characters and conflicts are involved in this practice. Considering that the native people perceive the cockfight as a sport in which the cock is an athlete and the humans are its coaches, I support me in this trinomial (sport, athlete and coach) to interpret this activity, or rather, the performances of human and non-human animals. Thus, I intend to present a framework of categories, symbols, brands and verbal and non-verbal signs that create a dynamic pattern of actions belonging to the world of cockfighting - which has its anthropological value expressed in fact of being a ritualized game that involves interethnic contact and a range of knowledge, experience, skills and emotions shared collectively. |
