Esses sujeitos históricos são integrantes das classes trabalhadoras e negras, os quais, motivados por questões econômicas, foram introduzidos no mundo do trabalho ainda na infância. Por fatores raciais, esses indivíduos, em sua maioria, alocados na segunda geração do pós-abolição, perambularam pela região em busca de melhores condições de vida, uma vez que as migrações pelas cidades do Recôncavo foram intensas até as décadas de 1950. Nesse sentido, buscou-se na elucidação de experiências cotidianas, sobretudo no universo do trabalho e nos aspectos religiosos da benzeção refletir acerca das identidades individuais e coletivas construídas no processo. A permanência dos elementos culturais presentes no âmbito das benzeções revela particularidades de uma população no que tange à relação que estabelecem com o sobrenatural, as doenças e a cura, suas expectativas, sentimentos e as possibilidades de transcendência da dura realidade. Sendo assim, as fontes utilizadas foram os periódicos Folha do Norte e o Jornal A tarde, assim como os depoimentos orais dos sujeitos históricos envolvidos no contexto histórico em análise. This research aims to reflect on the cultural and religious universe of women healer and man healer from the town Governador Mangabeira, Recôncavo Southern Bahia, from 1950 to 1970 decades, emphasizing their role in the communities where they live. These historical subjects make part of working and black classes, who, forced by economic necessities, were inserted into the working world yet in the childhood. Due to racial factors, most of them were allocated in the post- abolition second generation, which made them perambulate through the region in search of a better life, because migrations through Recôncavo Southern Bahia were very intense until 1950. Thus, by elucidating everyday experiences, especially in terms of working and religious blessing practice aspects, this work aimed to reflect on individual and collective identities built in the process. The permanency of cultural elements presented in the blessing practice extent reveals particularities of people regarding relations they firm to the supernatural, the sicknesses and cures, their expectations, feelings and the possibility to transcend from the tough reality. The following sources were used in this study: periodicals Folha do Norte and Jornal A tarde and oral testimonials of the historical subjects involved in the historical context under discussion.

Ce travail propose une analyse des pratiques de bénédiction et des relations de proximité dans une ville du centre-ouest brésilien. L’ethnographie dans les quartiers de Goiás permet d’interroger tout à la fois un univers mu par des formes de religiosité désignées par le terme de caseiras, et la notion de proximité telle que le quotidien des habitants la révèle. Favorisant une approche sensible des pratiques de bénédiction et des relations de proximité, la photographie est mobilisée comme outil de terrain, dispositif analytique et mode de connaissance, pour souligner la particularité des expériences ethnographiques autour du regard et des images et élaborer un récit ethnographique articulant texte et images. Sont ainsi privilégiés dans cette thèse le contenu anthropologique et les aspects esthétiques et émotionnels de la bénédiction. Ces pratiques permettent d’appréhender les relations de solidarité, conflictuelles et intergénérationnelles, qui participent à l’élaboration du lien social entre proches. Impliquant aussi des processus de transmission entre femmes, les relations de proximité sont dynamisées par des ambiguïtés affectives faites à la fois de complicités et de rivalités. Les troubles qu’elles provoquent trouvent leurs formes d’expression et de résolution à partir des religiosités caseiras, les pratiques de bénédiction étant un moyen de réguler les conflits du quotidien, du fait qu’elles prennent en charge les maux du corps et de l’esprit qui en découlent. Ces éléments d’analyse ratifient que le rapport au proche n’est pas toujours harmonieux, et valorisent des modes de connaissance et des pratiques thérapeutico-religieuses non officialisées bien que centrales pour des groupes sociaux entiers, donnant ainsi une autre image de la société goiane et donc de la société brésilienne, à partir des marges du savoir / This work presents an analysis of blessing practices and “close” relationships in a city of central-western Brazil. Ethnography in the neighbourhoods of Goiás allows to question forms of religiosity designated by the term caseiras and the notion of closeness in the everyday life of Goiás inhabitants. Promoting a sensible approach of blessing practices and of “close” relationships, photography is mobilized as a tool for fieldwork, but also an analytical device and as a form of knowledge, to emphasize the particularity of ethnographic experiences of the sight and images. It also allows to develop an ethnographic narrative articulating text and images. Anthropological content as well as aesthetic and emotional aspects of blessing practices are privileged in this research. To focus on the blessing practices allows to grasp relations of solidarity, of conflict and intergenerational relations, which participate in the development of social ties between “close” people. As they also involve transmission between women, “close” relationships are driven by emotional ambiguities based on both complicity and rivalry. The disorders such relationships can cause find forms of expression and resolution into caseiras religiosities, as blessing practices are a way to regulate conflicts of everyday life by working on body and mind illnesses resulting from such conflicts. This work demonstrates how “close” relationship is not always harmonious. It also intends to show how unofficial forms of knowledge and therapeutic-religious practices, although central for entire social groups, can give a fresher look of the goiana society and of the brazilian society from the angle of the margins of institutional knowledge.
