This doctoral thesis shows, in the scope of Cultural Geography, the study on Candomblé in Goiânia and in the Metropolitan region, focusing on processes such as the spatial marginalization, the invisibilities, and concealment ascribed to the religion studied. In addition, these processes come from the State normative devices. The theoretical background concentrates on the cultural approach and the Post-Colonial studies. Based on them, it was possible to recognize candomblecist territories, as well as the identity-symbolic spatialities conceived in and for the cosmolocalities. Furthermore, we lifted in this research the intersection between the material space and symbolic space. It is this approximation which guarantees a territory identity of this religion and/or this cultural practice in Goiás. The thesis basis is built from the triad; territory, culture and politics, categories that allowed us to understand the territorial dynamics of religions with African-roots which underestimate the dispute order for the use of the space. Furthermore, the goals that were highlighted as more relevant are: to study and analyze the tensions and territorial concessions that were put between the public power and the Communities of yard, beyond analyzing the role of insertion of public politics which allowed the space democratization, considering the subaltern segments by different colonizer processes. In addition, the parties were also analyzed. These structure the religion in a net-territory that enables the religion collectivity. The research adopted the methodological procedures of geoethnography and the participant observation. These paths conducted to the understanding of how the ways and spatial disputes produce the net-territory constituted by ilês, parties and Cadomblé practitioners. Among the results, it appears that the identity as the Cadomblé territories, are produced dialectally. This religion organized itself in scenery where the processes of power colonialities and the colonial mechanisms historically imputed subaltern situations. Moreover, with this study, it is recognized the need of production of different ways of knowledge that search the decolonization of cultures, beliefs, scenery and territories. The territorial dynamics of Cadomblé, here studied, focus on a logic which imputes to the territories and practitioners mechanisms of concealment of orders: semantics from discourses that reproduce along the time and that incorporate in the social imaginary a negative identity stigma; politics, approved by public actions which reinforce the invisibilities of spaces and of cultural practices, as well as the territorial cultural identities of practitioners; spatial, with a double peripherization phenomenon and segregation concerning the dispute and space appropriation favoring the organization of social fights for the right of better localizations and infrastructure, access to natural resources and public spaces.
