O trabalho traz uma contribuição empírica na Casa de Fundamentos Ordem Iniciática do Cruzeiro Divino, sediada na cidade de São Paulo e existente há mais de 40 anos. O templo é um dos importantes referenciais de Umbanda e reúne inúmeras lideranças religiosas afro-brasileiras em seus rituais. A análise teórica é embasada nos estudos antropológicos, cuja abordagem é iniciada com textos clássicos de Marcel Mauss, e percorre a discussão contemporânea sobre a temática. A contribuição do artigo revela que o corpo possui um valor simbólico-semiótico estruturante para a religiosidade afro-brasileira e instaura formas específicas de relacionamento com os conceitos de saúde e doença.Faculdades ESTCAPESJorge, Erica Ferreira da Cunha2013-04-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.est.edu.br/index.php/identidade/article/view/516identidade!; v. 18, n. 1 (2013): Dossiê: identidade e representatividade negra nas histórias em quadrinhos; 122-1322178-437Xreponame:Identidade!instname:Faculdades ESTinstacron:ESTporhttp://periodicos.est.edu.br/index.php/identidade/article/view/516/687info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-06-23T08:46:39Zoai:www.est.edu.br/periodicos:article/516Revistahttp://periodicos.est.edu.br/index.php/identidade/indexONGhttp://periodicos.est.edu.br/index.php/identidade/oai||selenir@est.edu.br|| reblin@est.edu.br2178-437X1676-9570opendoar:2013-06-23T08:46:39Identidade! - Faculdades ESTfalse
