Description
This article discusses the changes in the meaning of public space on the beaches during the ceremonies of the african-brazilian religions, taking as a case study the Umbanda rituals in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. The beach is a space typically used in leisure activities, but during the rituals, a large part of sand is occupied by the faithful, receiving, however, the legitimacy and respect from other people on site. This article presents an ethnographic description of the ambiance from the first moments of the ceremony, when altars dedicated to Yemanja (goddess of the sea) are installed in tents. The research which bases this article aims to show how the transformation of the ambiance (as a cultural and social history of a society) can generate a re-signification of public space by assigning a religious sense.
