Lutas de representações no ritual tapuio na Festa do Espírito Santo na cidade de Goiás no início do século XXI

Abstract

This article, the result of a doctorate research that discusses the context of the city of Goias, it aims to seek the evidence of representations in the music and dance of the ritual of the Tapuios that integrate the festival of the Divine Holy Spirit in the city of Goias, addressed under the representational focus. The observations made in loco also prioritized a look at the guiding principles of studies of complexity, in an approach that invests in interlaced knowledge that understands the individual as an inseparable term of the individual trinity/society/species. This methodology justifies the representational approach, that is, the need to understand man in his rational and passionate aspect, to consider that the approach of his aspect of homo sapiens should not happen apart from the approach of his aspect of homo demens. Finally, the evidence indicates that the ritual can be seen as a form of resistance of the excluded ones.
