Tornar-se imensurável: o mito negro brasileiro e as estéticas macumbeiras na clínica da efemeridade

Abstract

This work, situated at the research “Contemporary Guidelines in Clinical Psychology”, investigates the processes of black racialization in the Brazilian context (becoming black), characterizing them as a modern mythology and presenting ways to break these vital limits, which, in Brazil, are organized under racial agendas called blackness and its blackening processes. From a literature review and by using cartographic research methods, fundamentals of Bantu civilizations - which compose philosophical systems that organize religiosities such as umbandas, cabulas, omoloko, reinados, kimbandas, candomblés, in Brazil - are used to elaborate concepts and movements such as Macumbeiras Aesthethics, Clinics of Ephemerality, Cure, Memories of Transfigurations. Exú, the central concept of this work, presents itself as an ethical compass, which leads the ways of creating and sustaining the work entitled Becomes Immeasurable. This work is carried out with the support of the FUNDASP scholarship (São Paulo Foundation – São Paulo, Brazil)
