Candomblé das Barreiras: análise de um terreiro reafricanizado.

It is presented here an ethnography of a celebration for the Yorùbá goddess Yemanjá in a Portuguese Candomblé temple named Ilé Alaketu Omo Iya Iyemoja Sobayin, also known as Candomblé of Barreiras. The pertinency of this text results from the evident particularities of the mentioned celebration, wherein religion and the ludic are interrelated, and the so-called Bahian authenticity dialogues with rites imported from the reafricanized São Paulo's Candomblé. Thereby, the case study constitutes an opportunity to revisit the concepts of normativity and reafricanization in Candomblé studies. At the same level, it allows us to think out of the box of classic categories of classification in order to better understand the dynamics in stake here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
