Educação e santidade: as representações do feminino na Região do Cariri cearense

Abstract

The Sanctity representations in the Cariri of Ceará constituted in the spaces of the Education and of the Culture, it consolidates positions dicotômicas of Gender. The education discourse and social practices, propagated in the century XX, prepared models of sociability that contributed to the maintenance of the violence of Gender in view of the fall of the dominant paper of the man in the interior of the family. We bring such a consideration near from the analysis of the relation between the spontaneous sanctification of the feminine one in the Cariri of Ceará through the case Filomena Lacerda (Mauriti-CE) and the education discourse and social practices that prepare representations of the feminine. For so much we look for written and oral fountains collected in the city of Mauriti - CE, in the Cultural Institute of the Cariri and in the Hemeroteca of the Digital National Library (BND). The landmark storm is secured between 1930 and 1980, period of the education formation of Filomena Lacerda and beginning of the rituals referentes. It dock theoretician is familiar in the interdisciplinary field with emphasis for the authors who talk to the field of the Cultural History. We understand that the repercussions of the education discourse in the narratives of life and death of the holy women and in the perception of the violence against the woman in the Cariri of Ceará, happen in the field of the Appropriation and of the Representation. The cultural consumption viabilizado for the media, the literature and the religion walks in the direction of the propagation of the values of feminine Sanctity, that talk to the devotion to the private space, the acting in the extent missionary, the submission in front of the violence and the defense of the chastity, nevertheless is coherent to affirm that such Appropriation practices coexist with other elements that are prepared for and for the feminine one in the contemporaneousness, viabilizando woman's Representations that do not match only a feminine adstrito to the private space. The violence against the woman in the Cariri of Ceará happens from the fragility of the paper of the masculine that does not respect the negation of the virility, at the same time comumente stops being a phenomenon to be treated with public policies to be an aspect of the life to be resolved through the religious rituals, which compose the cultural configuration of that territory.
