Círio de Nazaré: agenciamentos, conflitos e negociação da identidade amazônica

This paper describes the ethnographic records of the Círio de Nazaré Feast, in Belém, Pará, indicating that the promotion of this event has since brokered diversified bases of identity, generating circuits and flows that converge to a complex and diffuse ritual. This promotion has tensioned the roles of social and religious local actors who seek to take of this religious and devotional good and promoting events that complement the dynamic of the Feast. Such appropriations show assemblages and conflicts that go beyond the religious sphere itself, but revolve around the central ritual of the Feast of Círio. Form is thus a field of negotiations on the appropriations of the event, establishing a social imperative performance that guides the projects of the actors, such as assemblages of religiosity.
