Lutas de representações no ritual tapuio na Festa do Espírito Santo na cidade de Goiás no início do século XXI

Research reveals that the ritual of the Tapuios, integrated into the Festa do Espírito Santo in Goiás, Brazil, serves as a form of resistance for marginalized communities. The study, rooted in doctoral research, employs an interdisciplinary approach to analyze representations within music and dance, grounded in principles of complexity theory. By examining the interplay between individuals, society, and species, the findings underscore the ritual's dual nature—rational and passionate—as a means for excluded groups to assert their identity and challenge societal norms. This perspective challenges conventional understandings of human behavior by integrating insights from both homo sapiens and homo demens, offering a nuanced interpretation of cultural practices in early 21st-century Goiás.
