“Eu quero é morrer afogada no Rosário de Maria!": a música como suporte de redundâncias rituais e veículo de promoção de afetos, imagens e identidade na ladainha da Irmandade do Jatobá

Abstract

This work is the result of an ethnographic study of the devotional experience of the litanies sung on novenas of the Holy Spirit and Our Lady of the Rosary, held during the celebrations of the Reign of the Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary of Jatobá, in Belo Horizonte. It investigates the role of music as the support of rituals redundancies - gestural, linguistic and iconographic - and vehicle for the promotion of feelings and images, important components of symbolic efficiency, in order to understand not only what kind of relationship such faithful people establish with the sacred, but mainly through which tools the emotions are experienced by them and, in particular, the ways that this process strengthens the collective identity of the group.
