| Resumo: | This work investigates how the theft of a saint, a practice carried out in favor of the rains in the
Northeast of Brazil, constitutes the sertões as a sacred spaces. Based on the theft of Catholic
images, especially that of the patron saint of rains, São José, in rural communities in the
municipality of Pombal, we analyzed this winter experience, its meanings and everyday
interests to understand the sacredness of rural spaces in the sertão of estate of Paraiba. In the
theoretical field – based on Certeau (1998), Segaud (2016), J. Assmann (2016), A. Assmann
(2011), Dubar (2006), Hall (2006), Tuan, (1983), Hobsbawm (1997 ), Geertz (2008), Ingold
(2012), Descola (2015), Haesbaert (2007) and Zambrano (2001) – the research operationalizes
the concepts of space, memory, identity, experience, tradition and territory in order to examine
the socio-cultural aspects mobilized together with the practice to configure this sertaneja
spatiality. As a methodology, from the analyzes of Meihy and Holanda (2011) and Delgado
(2006), we used oral history to analyze the memories around this religious practice, constituted
by the narratives of those who experience the local daily life, realizing how these memories act
in the formation of spaces for remembrance and establish identities that territorialize socioreligious experiences in these locations. The iconological analysis of images and artifacts of
faith linked to theft, based on Meneses (2003), and the appreciation of written documents about
the lives of people who lived there, complement the methodological support of the research.
Therefore, by showing that the theft of saints gave new meaning to community knowledge,
memories and identities, we found that the sertões studied constitute sacred spaces. |
