RESUMO:

The following thesis is related to the study of afrobrazilian religions. It reflects the religious experiences produced in the Irmão Carlos Umbanda Center, located in the rail suburbs, at Salvador (Bahia/Brazil), where the Umbandists’ way of life were daily observed. Thus, the aim of this investigation is to understand how the Umbandists of the Irmão Carlos Umbanda Center produce their way of life. In this sense, the study constitutes itself in a qualitative research, through the ethnographic method, once this method translates the logics, ritualistcs and practices of the researched Center leading us to a dense description of this web of meanings of the investigated group. The tools for the data gathering were the participant observation, which activities were registered in a field diary, along with semi structured interviews, photographs, and visitations to other Umbanda Centers, with the objective of comprehending the singularities of the cult space. It was considered the dual belonging of been a researcher and a native in the research environment. The historical and cultural dynamics that culminated in the Umbandist religion were described; it has been dimensioned the founding myth of Umbanda and the singular narratives that gave origin to the researched Center. The ritualistic practices, the knowledge and sense which forge the Umbandists’ way of living experienced by them were also presented. The results point towards the necessity of acknowledging the peculiarities of each cult spaces of the Umbandas, for the singular model of narrative about this religion silences the multiplicity of practices and rites that constitutes its territory. In the research, it was observed that the investigated Umbanda’s lifestyle acts from a sensitive reasoning which breaks the apogee of intellectuality, overflows from the body, opens itself to the spontaneous, to the intuitive, to the invisible; and roots itself in ancestral reasons that reinvents the ethical grounds of living. The way of life of Umbanda is based on a series of practices and acts, which assures the deliverance from imbalances, which hurt the cult adepts’ routines. This way, the researched Umbanda builds itself from an stylistic of the existence, founded in the self care, care of the others, and care of ancestry
