Bruxas, lobisomens, anjos e assombrações na costa sul da Lagoa dos Patos, Colônia Z3, Pelotas: etnografia, mitologia, gênero e políticas públicas

Abstract

What motivates the writing of this master´s dissertation is the decrease of the gaps between, on one hand, the development and project management and public social policies by a Social Work professional and, on the other, cosmologies that somehow guide the lives of individuals and social groups. By mythology, I analyze the relations that connect - in the Fishermen´s Colony Z-3, coastal territory of the Lagoa dos Patos, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil - humans and non-humans in a system of meanings that reflect the design of everyday ways of thinking, living and dying in this colony. In this network of meanings, I seek also to understand how to formulate the feminine domain and the masculine domain in this coastal territory.
