The processes of territorial and religious multipolarity in the quilombola community Maria Theodora (ACTHEO) in the municipality of Corumbá-MS

Abstract

The paper has the perspective of analyzing the processes of territorial and religious multipolarity in the quilombola community Maria Theodora Gonçalves (ACTHEO) in the municipality of Corumbá–MS. Through the analysis of the events established in the spatial production of the quilombola community, the goal is to understand the process of displacement of quilombola families and the flows of religious ceremonies among the Tendas Nossa Senhora da Guia, Nossa Senhora da Conceição and the Vale dos Orixás. In this sense, we seek to comprehend the reality experienced by the quilombola families of the ACTHEO. The research was based on primary and secondary data through the following interventions: literature review, data collection from the Palmares Cultural Foundation (FCP), National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA), Black Women's Institute of Pantanal (IMNEGRA), Coordination of Public Policies for the Promotion of Racial Equality of Corumbá (CPPPIR), in addition to the period living in the community, interviews with quilombola leaders and the people who attend the religious spaces of the quilombola community. The proposal is to analyze the dynamics of territorial, social and religious resistance of the quilombola community, having as central scenario the territorial and religious multipolarity between the traditionally occupied territory and the Vale dos Orixás.
