Ao realizar o trabalho de campo pude perceber que essas rinhas de galo se constituem enquanto uma pr?tica ritual masculina difundida na regi?o: ocorrendo dentro e fora da ?rea ind?gena, com a participa??o de ?ndios e n?o ?ndios. Essa pesquisa, portanto, se caracteriza como um exerc?cio antropol?gico de compreens?o de uma situa??o limite, que se encontra inserida na clandestinidade e em uma zona de fronteira ?tnica. Nesse sentido, lan?o m?o da seguinte indaga??o: como se configura a intera??o entre ?ndios e n?o ?ndios num evento ritual ilegal marcado pelo enfrentamento simb?lico e que tem animais n?o humanos enquanto personagens centrais? Para responder a essa quest?o, tomo a abordagem da ?antropologia da performance? como filtro epist?mico e metodol?gico e me debru?o sobre essas rinhas com o intuito de compreender e descrever quais as rotinas, cen?rios, personagens e conflitos que est?o implicados nessa pr?tica. Tendo em vista que os nativos encaram a briga de galos como um esporte em que o galo ? o atleta e os humanos s?o seus treinadores, apoio-me nesse trin?mio (esporte, atleta e treinador) para interpretar essa atividade, ou melhor, as performances dos animais humanos e n?o humanos. Com isso, pretendo apresentar um quadro de categorias, s?mbolos, marcas e signos verbais e n?o-verbais que suscitam um padr?o din?mico de a??es pertencentes ao universo da briga de galos - que tem seu valor antropol?gico expresso no fato de ser um evento ritualizado que envolve al?m do contato inter?tnico uma gama saberes, experi?ncias, t?cnicas e emo??es partilhadas coletivamente. / This dissertation is an ethnography about the performance of social actors who participate in cockfights on the north coast of the state of Paraiba, Brazil ? a region characterized by historical interethnic contact between indigenous of the ethnic group Potiguara and the non-indigenous population. Along the fieldwork, I realized that the cockfights are a male ritual practice widespread in the region: occurring inside and outside indigenous territory, with the participation of the indigenous and non-indigenous. Therefore, this research is an anthropological exercise of understanding of a limiting situation, which is inserted in hiding and in an ethnic border zone. Accordingly, I do the following question: how is the interaction between indigenous and non-indigenous in an illegal ritual event characterized by the symbolic confrontation and that has non-humans animals like main characters? Order to answer this question, I use the ?anthropology of performance? as an epistemological and methodological filter and I analyze these cockfights in order to understand and describe which routines, settings, characters and conflicts are involved in this practice. Considering that the native people perceive the cockfight as a sport in which the cock is an athlete and the humans are its coaches, I support me in this trinomial (sport, athlete and coach) to interpret this activity, or rather, the performances of human and non-human animals. Thus, I intend to present a framework of categories, symbols, brands and verbal and non-verbal signs that create a dynamic pattern of actions belonging to the world of cockfighting - which has its anthropological value expressed in fact of being a ritualized game that involves interethnic contact and a range of knowledge, experience, skills and emotions shared collectively.
