Revered in various branches of Afro-Brazilian religions, “water” beings known as Marinheiros, Pescador, Capitão and Marujos are present in most terreiros in the Vitória da Conquista region, but also from Ilhéus to Bom Jesus da Lapa, as well as other regions of Bahia and Brazil. The study is constituted as an ethnography whose construction makes it possible to approach the “social life” of a spiritual entity in a context crossed by the various forms of racism in Brazilian society. One of the central figures in the terreiro, the Marujo, as he adapts to the life of the group and the person who receives him - Mãe Fátima, a leader of the terreiro - he also transforms himself, beyond a spiritual entity, into a social, educational, cultural and political agent who promotes group cohesion.

Historically, studies have focused on the figure of the Iyalorixá, neglecting other forms of female protagonism essential to the daily life and ritual continuity of Afro-Brazilian religious communities. This research seeks to fill this gap by analyzing how these roles are portrayed in classical and contemporary works and by confronting these representations with the lived experiences of equedes in the Ilê Axé Oyá Tolá terreiro, located in Candeias, Bahia. The study adopts a qualitative, phenomenological approach, combining theoretical contributions from anthropology, history, gender studies, and religious studies. Methodologically, it integrates participant observation, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and autoethnography, considering the researcher’s dual position as equede and investigator. Additionally, a systematic literature review was conducted using the ProKnow-C method, which enabled the construction of a bibliographic portfólio. Searches were carried out between September 2023 and January 2024 in databases such as Google Scholar, CAPES, BDTD, and SciELO, using keywords related to the research objectives. Of the 90 initial publications identified, only eight were directly related to the topic, complemented by seminal works absent from the databases. Results reveal that classical literature tends to reduce equedes to auxiliary roles associated with domestic tasks, disregarding their sacerdotal and political dimensions. In contrast, recent publications and field data highlight the centrality of these women in maintaining liturgy, organizing community life, and transmitting ancestral knowledge. Equedes emerge as spiritual and social pillars, responsible for coordinating rituals, managing resources, and ensuring the continuity of religious practices. By integrating theory and practice, this study contributes to the recognition of female ancestral knowledge and expands interpretative horizons on Candomblé as a dynamic, plural, and resilient practice.

The study aims to analyze the speeches made by Abdias Nascimento in the plenary sessions of the Chamber of Deputies and the National Congress between 1983 and 1987. The research carries out a critical bibliographical review of the field of studies on Abdias Nascimento. It also aims to identify how the congressman addresses the issue of race in his speeches and mobilizes the claims, denunciations, values, myths and symbols related to his racial identity. The work is based on the theoretical-methodological procedures of Discourse Analysis (DA) and archive ethnography. The oral communications given during the mandate of deputy Abdias Nascimento are used as the primary source of data. The public pronouncements made from the rostrum were selected, totaling 64 speeches given in the plenary sessions of the Chamber of Deputies and in the joint sessions of the National Congress, during the 47th legislature (1983-1987). The results of the research include the identification of key themes such as international politics and pan-Africanist solidarity, policies of memory and symbolic-affective value, affirmative action policies and policies of black representation, participation and mobilization.
