Quem está na terra: o autor no discurso religioso da umbanda.

Abstract

In the most diverse genres of discourse, the enunciators struggle for the legitimacy of what they speak, claim the authorship of the statements before the co-enunciators. In Umbanda, this struggle has peculiar characteristics, for it becomes a legitimate enunciator that can demonstrate to the co-enunciator that it is not he who is in control of the discourse, but another being that uses his body to assume the authorship of the speech. Even before the pronouncement of the discourse, it is a priority for the Umbanda medium to convince him that he is under the influence of a spiritual entity through a process of altered state of consciousness and developing the possibility of a third being the original author of the discourse. medium only the right to be a vehicle of this transmission. From the Discourse Analysis, this thesis aims to clarify what are the fundamentals used for the legitimation of this third, and how we can represent the author in the religious discourse of Umbanda from the altered state of consciousness and its symbolic disputes between being, not being and remove themselves, primordial conditions for their legitimacy and prestige where they actively participate the ideologies and signs of the subjects of the enunciation scene.
