The festivities, the social relations and the territorial bonds in João Borges Vieira Community-Uruacu-Go

Abstract

The aim of this work is to study celebrations, especially the Quilombola ones, as part of the process of affirmation and construction of João Borges Vieira community's identity, which is located in Uruaçu, Goiás. In this sense, we analyze the festivities, the social relations and the territorial bonds. From them, it is possible to discover customs and actions that allow material and symbolic territorial demarcation in the community. Methodologically, we have researched the movement of cultural interactions and the observation of actions expressed in the construction of the manifestation of knowledges, abilities putting in evidence the relationship between identities and sense of belonging, mainly in relation to urban and rural spaces making the sense of territoriality strongher while celebrating.
