The craft of blessing consists of a cultural practice of popular knowledge in the Municipality of
Tracuateua/ PA related to religious healing. Besides its intrinsic spiritual aspects, blessing is an
important source of knowledge production for that community, despite the devaluation of its practice in
relation to scientific knowledge. On regard to this theme, this work aimed, through an ethnographic
study, to analyze the epistemology of blessing, from popular knowledge and healing practices, based on
the concept of education of attention proposed by Tim Ingold. We seek to report the impacts of the
overlapping of scientific knowledge over other knowledge, to identify the reasons for the devaluation
of blessing practices and to signal the importance of dialogues between knowledges and the valorization
of knowledge, regardless of its origin. From this epistemological analysis, we aim to subsidize public
policies for the valorization of knowledge and cultural practices |
