Uma festa para a Capital do Sertão : Nossa Senhora da Glória-SE entre história, identidade e devoção

Abstract

This article is based on the problem of the centennial devotion to the feast of the patron saint of Nossa Senhora da Glória, using concepts such as feast, identity and devotion. The research undertaken aims to analyze aspects such as History, identity and devotion, elements that are present in the religious feast. The historical sources used in this research are periodicals, iconography and audiovisual resources related to the event under examination, in addition to oral accounts of witnesses about the aforementioned feast. The theoretical framework is made up of authors such as Fernando Torres Londoño (2000), who examines the concept of devotion; Verena Alberti (2005), who analyzes oral history and how it should be worked on in scientific research; Roger Chartier (1990), who studies symbols, exploring practices and representations; Michael Pollak (1992), who focuses on the concept of identity; and Claudefranklin Monteiro Santos (2013), who works with the concept of feast.
