The yards are culturally rich territories, in which people shape concepts, practices, and beliefs about health, disease and forms of healing, passed on from generation to generation through oral tradition. With the advent of HIV/AIDS from the 80s, a new challenge is established in the community of the yards and in the individual trajectories of people affected by the disease, who since an early age participate in this religious practice. The objective of this research is the analysis on the stigma in living with HIV/AIDS in yards of Umbanda in Fortaleza-Cear?, considering the (re)production of social dramas experienced by the community in question. During the investigation we adopted two basic parameters: the first one considers the understanding of the reproduction of stigma (or deteriorated identity) in relation to HIV/AIDS in its socio-historical dimension and its effects in the investigated context (Goffman, 1988). And the second one refers to the creation and reproduction of social dramas as a social experience carried through learning, handling and symbolic performance, which is reproduced in four stages: rupture, crisis, corrective action and reintegration (Turner, 1971) / A tradi??o e a viv?ncia nos espa?os religiosos afro-brasileiros, denominados terreiros, revelam o qu?o din?mico ? a reprodu??o e troca de saberes e conhecimento que, atrav?s de sua vis?o de mundo, revelam formas de lidar com a sa?de e a doen?a. Os terreiros constituem territ?rios ricos, culturalmente, em que pessoas moldam concep??es, pr?ticas e cren?as a respeito da sa?de, das enfermidades e das formas de cura, repassados de gera??o a gera??o, atrav?s da oralidade. Com o advento do HIV/Aids a partir dos anos 80, um novo desafio se estabelece na comunidade dos terreiros e nas trajet?rias individuais das pessoas afetadas pela doen?a que desde idade tenra participam dessa pr?tica religiosa. O objetivo desta pesquisa ? a an?lise sobre o estigma no conv?vio com o HIV/Aids em terreiros de Umbanda na cidade de Fortaleza-Cear?, considerando a (re)produ??o dos dramas sociais vivenciados pela comunidade em quest?o. Durante a investiga??o foram adotados dois par?metros fundamentais: primeiro, que considera a compreens?o da reprodu??o do estigma (ou da identidade deteriorada) em rela??o ao HIV/Aids em sua dimens?o s?cio-hist?rica, e seus efeitos no contexto investigado (GOFFMAN, 1988). E segundo, que se refere ? cria??o e reprodu??o dos dramas sociais, enquanto experi?ncia social realizada atrav?s do aprendizado, manuseio e atua??o simb?lica, que se reproduz em quatro fases: ruptura, crise, a??o corretiva e reintegra??o (TURNER, 1971).
