Resumo: As far as the Afro-Brazilian religious context is concerned, some researchers consider the caboclo the result of a process in which the negro, trying to assure a collocation in the country after slavery being extinct, nationalize some African habits in order to turn themselves into what they imagine being an Indian might be, based on the Indian image expressed by the romantic literature. This article discusses the relevance of this argument by investigating the presence of the spiritual entity female representatives through a comparison between them and the idealized image of romantic Indians. It is stated that to understand the female caboclo’s role in the umbanda cult as well as in contemporary women’s lives it will be necessary to listen to these women by means of their spiritualistic mediums relating what they say to these women’s life stories and to the actual social experience of the communities in which the entity is worshiped.

Neste artigo discute-se a pertinência desse argumento ao investigar a presença de entidades caboclas em sua vertente feminina, através de uma comparação destas com as imagens idealizadas de índias românticas. Advoga-se que, para entender a função das caboclas no panteão umbandista e em vidas de mulheres contemporâneas, será preciso dar ouvidos ao que elas dizem através de suas médiuns, relacionando seu discurso com as histórias de vida dessas mulheres e com a experiência social concreta das comunidades que se lhes devotam.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2007-09-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200700030000710.1590/S0104-026X2007000300007Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 15 No. 3 (2007); 629Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 15 Núm. 3 (2007); 629Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 15 n. 3 (2007); 6291806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2007000300007/1192Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRotta, Raquel RedondoBairrão, José Francisco Miguel Henriques2020-01-30T09:15:00Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/1476Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:19.004851Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
