Resumo
Pretende-se, nesta dissertação, investigar a formação da identidade cultural negra na
criação de irmandades e construções de Igrejas em honra à Nossa Senhora do
Rosário, além de características culturais e devocionais que são propriamente
católicas. Serão utilizadas nas pesquisas fontes primárias e secundárias
bibliográficas, as quais auxiliarão no reconhecimento de tais igrejas e irmandades
como contribuidoras efetivas para a criação de uma identidade própria desta parcela
étnico-cultural. O campo de pesquisa será o território paulista, especificamente
cidades nas quais foram introduzidas mão-de-obra de negros escravizados,
delimitando, assim, um parâmetro de semelhança na criação dessas igrejas e
irmandades. A partir de tal delimitação, será possível compreender, também, como
foi a relação da educação catequética do povo negro com o surgimento de suas
comunidades e a construção de suas igrejas no espaço urbano. Propõe-se, dessa
forma, reconhecer a importância dessas Irmandades e de seus espaços de devoções
escolhendo três regiões para estudo de caso: Oeste Paulista, Capital e Litoral. Dentre
cada região, será escolhida uma cidade como estudo de caso para maior
aprofundamento. Tem-se, como método, a análise do processo de criação,
transformação e extinção das Irmandades, trazendo, sobretudo, como um dos objetos
centrais de nossa pesquisa, seus patrimônios religiosos. Em seguida, ficará evidente
como acontece o processo de identidade afrocatólica no patrimônio cultural religioso
que ainda resiste nas regiões de São Paulo.
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the formation of black cultural identity, in the creation of brotherhoods and construction of Churches in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, cultural and devotional characteristics that are properly Catholic. Primary and secondary bibliographic sources will be used in this research, which will help to recognize such churches and brotherhoods as effective contributors to the creation of an identity of this ethnic-cultural parcel. The research field will be the territory of São Paulo, specifically cities in which enslaved black labor was introduced, delimiting a parameter of similarity in the creation of these churches and brotherhoods. From this delimitation, we will also be able to understand how was the relation of the catechetical education of the black people with the emergence of their communities and the construction of their churches in the urban space. It’s intended, in this way, to recognize the relevance of these Brotherhoods and their spaces of devotions, choosing three regions for a case study: Oeste Paulista, Capital and Litoral. Among each region, a city will be chosen as a case study for further analysis. As a method, the analysis of the creation process will be used, as well as the transformation and extinction of the Brotherhoods, having, above all, their religious heritage as one of the central objects of this research. Then, it will be evident how the process of Afro-Catholic identity happens in the religious cultural heritage that still resists in the regions of São Paulo.
