Princípios móveis da malandragem: as formações discursivas acerca da palavra “malandragem”, a partir da entidade Zé Pelintra, no templo espírita de umbanda Abaçá de Oxalá, em Pato Branco - PR

Abstract

The research seeks the discursive formations about the word "malandragem" from the archetype Zé Pelintra, spiritual leader of the "phalange of malandros", in an umbanda terreiro. The reason for this investigation considers the context of intensifying state repression of specific ethnic groups at the time the research was started, as well as bringing to the debate the appreciation of historically marginalized cosmologies. For this, semi-structured interviews were carried out with people over eighteen years old linked to the place. The participants' actions were observed, recorded and transcribed the discursive and non-discursive elements contemplated by the language. Thus, a dialogue was made between field and bibliographical research, through the ethnographic-discursive method (MAGALHÃES; MARTINS; RESENDE, 2017). As a result, discursive formations associated with resistance, altruism, selfesteem, self-acceptance, self-responsibility, spontaneity and mobility in the formulation of their concepts were seen (COUTINHO, 2008; CRISTINO, 2009; DIAS, 2004; 2009; PERIPOLLI, 2020; PORDEUS JR, 1989/1990).
