This article is part of a research developed for a Master’s degree dissertation in the Linguagens e
Saberes na Amazônia Post-Graduation Program (PPLSA-UFPA), and it has as its theme a
contextualization of the concept of “canvas of representation” proposed by Hall (2003). This concept
crosses the use, by the black culture, of the body as a cultural capital due to the impossibility of other
expressive resources in the slavery system and in the Eurocentric domination during the diaspora. We
understand the figure of the maruja in Bragança-PA, which results from a devotion founded in the city
by black enslaved people in the end of the XVIII century and marked by power tensions, as a canvas
of representation. Thus, the maruja attire articulates African repertoires with Catholic elements,
communicates identities, embodies the faith in Saint Benedict and delimits spaces on the context of the
Black Saint festivity. |
