| Resumo: | The field of studies on human-animal relations in anthropology goes back to the canons
of science. Anthropologists such as E.E.Evans-Pritchard, Claude Lèvi-Strauss and Mary
Douglas bring in their reflections the animal figure in a perspective outside human life,
contemplated as "others" in social relations. With the ontological turn, or animal turn, in
the 1970s, a new perspective emerges for anthropology that proposes to break with the
nature-culture dichotomy. Based on this premise, the present dissertation describes the
interaction between humans and goats, demonstrating how both species contribute to
social construction and to the dilution of a dualistic conception imposed by modernity. In
this way, the work answers how an animal, which for many years was considered by the
locals as a bush animal, is now honored and crowned in the King Goat Festival, the
biggest national festival, created in Cariri in the 90s. The research aims to investigate the
insertion of the animal in the Paraiban context, to describe the coronation of the goat, to
investigate the personification of the non-human animal, to understand the non-human
animal as a being that has casual agency, and to go through the crossings for data
collection in the field. For the realization of the dissertation, the ethnographic method was
employed, with its various techniques, participant observation, open interviews,
photographic records and record data in the field diary, in the period from January to
March 2021, in the municipality of Cabaceira, in the State of Paraíba. Therefore, I
elaborate, according to local perception, how the non-human animal, becomes a central
social agent, contributing to the social, cultural, and administrative dynamics of the municipality. |
