Resumo
This dissertation is the result of research with Umbanda terreiros located in the metropolitan region of Greater Vitória/ES, developed by the Transatlantic Africanities Project: history, culture and Afro-Brazilian memories at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES). In this work I present the trajectories of some leaders from the municipalities of Vila Velha and Cariacica. The objective was to carry out studies on the relationship between traditional and academic knowledge based on the memories and trajectories of leaders of Umbanda religious communities. The problem researched and analyzed was based on the following concern: does traditional knowledge dialogue with the university in the production of knowledge? And does academic knowledge contribute to the work of traditional terreiros communities? In the basis of this project, I highlight theories about memory, trajectory, knowledge, people, body, territory and crossroads, using as ethnographic data the empirical narratives of leaders of Umbanda terreiros, tents and temples. In dialogues with the leaders of the sacred territories, I was able to verify that narratives, rites and house names are forms of re-existence and creation of the memory of these characters, who are in the religious field and who were deified in Afro Brazilian cosmology. The leaders' trajectories demonstrate the relevance of traditional knowledge acquired from entities and elders, related to caring for nature, healing with herbs and other elements of the environment. The dissertation also analyzed educational training, racism and religious intolerance suffered by leaders and members of the terreiros researched.
