Resumo: The Baianos of the Umbanda comprise a category of spirits associated with characters typical from the Brazilian Northeast. This study characterizes the spiritual category Baiano in the practice of Umbanda in the Southeast and uncovers how the pantheon incorporates human experiences and social types. Literature was consulted and data were collected through participative observation and interviews with medians in trances. Terreiros (places where the rituals occur) from the state of São Paulo, Brazil collaborated. The narratives revealed aspects that overlap those from the culture of the people of the northeast, suggesting there is a transmutation of regional scenes in metonymies and metaphors that are recombined so that one does not immediately reflect upon types that are socially determined. These meanings are materialized in rituals and in narratives rich in oxymorons, as well, enabling one to express contradictions and provide religious symbols in which the human, paradoxical and conflictive elements can be recognized.

Los baianos de la umbanda componen una categoría de espíritus asociada a personajes típicamente nordestinos. Mediante este estudio se intenta caracterizar la categoría espiritual "baiano" en la umbanda del Sudeste y aclarar de qué forma el panteón incorpora las existencias humanas y los tipos sociales. Fueron usados análisis de la literatura, observación participante y entrevistas con los médiuns en trance. Fue utilizado el "método etnográfico" junto a la "escucha participativa". Hubo colaboración de Terreiros del estado de Sao Paulo. Para el análisis de los datos fue utilizado el "concepto psicoanalítico de significante". Las narrativas míticas de los baianos revelaran yuxtaposiciones de escenas regionales en metonimias y metáforas que se mezclan, haciendo con que no haya una reflexión inmediata acerca de los tipos socialmente dados. Esos significantes se materializan en los rituales pero también en las narrativas, ricas en oxímoros, de manera a posibilitar la expresión de la contradicción y a propiciar símbolos religiosos en que se pueda reconocer el humano, paradoxal y conflictivo. Os baianos da umbanda compõem uma categoria de espíritos associada a personagens tipicamente nordestinos. Este estudo visou caracterizar a categoria espiritual baiano na umbanda do Sudeste e desvendar como o panteão incorpora vivências humanas e tipos sociais. Recorreu-se à análise da literatura, observação participante e entrevistas com médiuns em transe. Colaboraram médiuns e dirigentes de terreiros do estado de São Paulo. Para a análise dos dados utilizou-se o conceito psicanalítico de significante. As narrativas dos baianos revelaram justaposições com aspectos da cultura nordestina, sugerindo que há uma transmutação de cenas regionais em metonímias e metáforas que se recombinam de modo a não haver uma reflexão imediata de tipos socialmente dados. Esses significantes materializam-se nos rituais, mas também em narrativas ricas em oxímoros, de modo a possibilitar a expressão do contraditório e a proporcionar símbolos religiosos nos quais o humano, paradoxal e conflituoso, possa se reconhecer.
