MAJOR BRAND ATABIACHIN: MISMATCHES BETWEEN THE ETHICAL AND THE EMIC

Abstract

Afro-Brazilian cults have long aroused interest in various areas of scientific knowledge, not only in Brazil, but also in other poles of academic production in the fields of social sciences and humanities, with emphasis on approaches to sociology, anthropology, education, musicology, ethnomusicology, linguistics, pedagogy, artistic expressions, and history. The concept of Afro-Brazilianness activates a complex of values and meanings that dialogue with the notion of national identity present in the literature of the segments mentioned above. This article then pursues the problem that emerges from the mismatch between the ethical voice of academic approaches and the emic voice of the population with African oral tradition cultures in Brazil.
