Based on the ethnographic description and analysis of everyday situations in the village of El Mañana, municipality of Viterbo, related to land ownership, work, use and disputes over the control of traffic on public roads, relationships with the natural environment, forms of agricultural and livestock production, and the construction of killable subjects, it reveals moral tensions that emerge in daily life, especially manifest in neighborhood relations. In these tensions, the presence, whether spectral or material of violence, becomes evident, which in one way or another emerges and affects the construction of moral values and social relations of the inhabitants.

The fieldwork took place over a period of slightly less than a year, divided between a longer stay during 2019 and a shorter stay of two weeks at the beginning of 2021, in a context still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The thesis focuses on the process of raising Black quilombola children from rural areas in the Quilombo of Alegre. Special attention is given to the participation of these children in their own upbringing process, whether through the assistance they provide to their adult relatives — which creates bonds of "consideration" between them — or through their unique ways of experiencing the quilombola territory, as well as the practices, relationships, ways of being, and ways of living that permeate and give meaning to life in the quilombo. Central to the process of raising children in Alegre are the women —grandmothers, mothers, aunts, sisters, and cousins —who mutually assist one another in raising their sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters, nephews and nieces, establishing a network of aid mobilized by those who have children to raise. For these women, the greatest challenge lies in the ethical formation of their children in a world that has treated Black people with varying degrees of subtle or overt indignity and violence. It is worth noting that, historically, the residents of Alegre have sought better employment and income opportunities in the outskirts of large cities in Minas Gerais and São Paulo, as well as on coffee plantations in southern Minas Gerais and Alto Parnaíba. The prospect of raising children who will eventually leave the quilombo to seek work, or, as has become slightly more common, better educational and academic opportunities, remains a part of their horizon of creation. Within this context, the women of the quilombo mobilize stories, practices, and, when necessary, even "surras" to ensure that their children grow up "courageous" enough to fight for their dignity and capable of cultivating respect for themselves and their relatives.

Considering here that historical processes, oral traditions and myths have great potential to promote these transformations and creations of new worlds. The other question for this research was how to ethnographically the actions of enchantment, experienced in the terreiro, to understand the effects and processes of transformations practiced from the experiences of enchantment? The protagonists of the acts are the people who live the religiosity of African origin in the terreiro with their entities and ancestors. The antagonists are the struggles that the protagonists deal with in their social realities, such as prejudice, racism, and losses suffered, as their untold stories. The thesis as an “Act” was inspired by the book “Ananse: Tecendo teias na diáspora” by Zélia Amador de Deus (2019), and by Eduardo de Oliveira on the philosophy of enchantment (2007), which use the act as a metaphor to talk about the many webs that involve the construction of the society of the “non-place” and in this space would be the “in-between place”, a space of untold stories, of unfulfilled listening, and of silenced voices, but which cause structural movements when they emerge (Homi Bhabha, 1996). The meanings of enchantment can be understood as an Act that acts in the “in-between place”, a space in constant construction of a world where the enchanted one lives moving, forging all the evils that humans practice, into cures for humanity. The intention of the analysis in the thesis is to recognize that the empirical material collected in/in research is intrinsic to the intellectual creations that the social actors themselves elaborate about themselves (Wagner, 1981). Thus, given the indispensable subjection of anthropology to “native” knowledge, the empirical material presented in this study describes what people think and create about what happens to them and their peers.; Cette thèse est une ethnographie sur les significations de l'enchantement à travers les regards et les récits du pai de santo et de ses fils de santo de Ilê Asé Oya Diná, dans la ville de Monte Alegre, région occidentale de l'état de Pará, présentée sous la forme de trois “Actes” guidés par deux questions : Comment les afro-religiosités dans le contexte amazonien développent-elles leurs processus de “transformation” que traversent les entités, les personnes et les terreiros ? Considérant ici que les processus historiques, les oralités et les mythes ont un grand potentiel pour promouvoir ces transformations et la création de nouveaux mondes. L'autre question de cette recherche était de savoir comment ethnographier les actions d'enchantement vécues dans le terreiro, pour comprendre les effets et les processus de transformations pratiqués à partir des expériences d'enchantement? Les protagonistes des actes sont les personnes qui vivent dans le terreiro une religiosité d'origine africaine avec leurs entités et leurs ancêtres. Les antagonistes sont les conflits que les protagonistes affrontent dans leurs réalités sociales comme les préjugés, le racisme et les pertes subies, comme leurs histoires inédites. La thèse comme “Acte” s'inspire du livre “Ananse : Tecendo teias na diaspora” de Zélia Amador de Deus (2019), et d'Eduardo de Oliveira sur la philosophie de l'enchantement (2007) qui utilisent l'acte comme métaphore pour parler des nombreuses toiles qui impliquent la construction de la société du “non-lieu” et dans cet espace se trouverait “l'entre-lieu”, un espace d'histoires inédites, d'écoutes non réalisées et de voix réduites au silence, mais qui provoquent des mouvements structurels lorsqu'ils émergent (Homi Bhabha, 1996). Les significations de l’enchantement peuvent être comprises comme un acte qui agit dans “l’entre-deux”, un espace en construction constante d’un monde où la personne enchantée vit en mouvement, forgeant tous les maux que pratiquent les humains, en remèdes pour l’humanité. L’intention de l’analyse dans cette thèse est de reconnaître que le matériel empirique collecté dans/dans la recherche est intrinsèque aux créations intellectuelles que les acteurs sociaux eux-mêmes élaborent (Wagner, 1981). Ainsi, compte tenu de l’indispensable assujettissement de l’anthropologie aux savoirs “autochtones”, le matériel empirique présenté dans cette étude décrit ce que les gens pensent et croient sur ce qui leur arrive, ainsi qu’à leurs pairs.
