O retorno das danças sagradas : subjetividades espaço-temporais nas sociedades pós-modernas

Abstract

This dissertation addresses the return of Sacred Circle Dances in the so- called post-modern societies. Through a bibliographical research centered in the symbolic aspects of Time and Space, this work intends to understand in which ways this kind of collective manifestation might be a counterpoint to emerging issues in these societies which are scarred by individualism, acceleration and an environmental crisis, amongst other problems. The methodology, which proposes a research "with dance" not only "about dance", includes ego-documents with the intention of constituting a corpus centered in the authors experiences in these practices. The theoretical references are based, especially, on studies of the imaginary and on the work of thinkers from indigenous peoples. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
