Resumo
In this thesis I have analyzed the ways the oxen cart parade and the convoy pilgrimage that
have been taking place during the traditional Festa do Divino Pai Eterno (Divino Pai Eterno’s
Festival), in Trindade (GO), may be interpreted from the oxen cart perspective, from its
historical basis to the varied techniques of its build and to the taming of the convoy oxen, which
have permitted me to identify a set of cultural repertoires specific to cosmologies, ontologies
and modus vivendi of country districts of Goiás, where rural features are currently associated
to urban features by a group of relating hybridity factors. At the first part of the work, I have
drawn my attention to the oxen cart parade in Araçu (GO) and to the convoy pilgrimage in
honor of Pai Eterno (Eternal Father), which has been held in Trindade (GO) since the midnineteenth century. I have made a description of the parade and the journey I undertook with
the convoy in 2019, in which I try to show how such parade articulates habits, traditions and
organizational modes, beyond the sacred issue. That has led me to consider oxen carts as a
central analysis category. Furthermore, by a historiographical approach, I have tried to show
the origins and the widespread use of oxen cart in many historical periods, from its origin to its
introduction in Goiás and its large participation in people’s daily life. In the third part, I have
focused on my own research analysis, which were carried out with woodworkers specialized in
the build of oxen carts, known as carapinas. In that topic, their build techniques have proved
to generate a heuristic polysemy of anthropological meanings that I have tried to analyze more
profoundly. In the following chapter, I have described the choosing and training (taming) stages
of the convoy oxen so as to realize that such moments also articulate techniques and
cosmogonies that involve the typical way of living of Goiás country populations. In the last part
of this thesis, I have shown how labor represents a didactical and pedagogical power for the
carapina and the carreiro (oxen cart craftspeople and oxen cart conductors), how oxen carts
currently stir other social categories and even the political agenda. At last, I have displayed how
oxen carts and oxen cart conductors may be seen as a living heritage for the concrete cultural
traits and even the intangible knowledge that they hold.
