Abstract

The objective of this study was to understand the genre of relations, through maternity, that they had been being structuralized, in elapsing of the tradition of the Jewish-Christian culture, inside of the official and popular Catholicism. We adopt, as component of analysis, the devotion of our lady of help Perpetual, gift in the prayers carried through in the Mother church of Campinas, in Goiânia. This religiosity is presented in so dynamic way that, weekly, fifteen prayers are celebrated, always on Tuesday. Hourly, the rotation of fiduciary offices and teams of liturgy happens, for the celebration of a new ritual, always followed for thousand of people. This research made possible an understanding of that the fiduciary offices that adhere to this genre of rite do it for cultivating in itself a great load of real fear and imaginary privations, in its existence human being. The relation established in this devotion occurs due the fact to see in Mary the face of mother of the perennial aid, in its shortage. For this reason, we choose the way of the analysis of the genre of relations, a time that the fiduciary offices resemble the faith in the maternity of Mary, to the ideal mother of human being. Men and women assure, without questionings, that the maternity must be a service of devotement the God and in this social construct idealized by the andocentric tradition, the women are inflicted to the submission and the social exploration. To reach, four pillars had supplied the basement of theoretical sustentation: maternity, genre, religion and devotion catholic to the mother of the help Perpetul. Authors as Durkheim, Bourdieu, Berger, Parker, Scoth, Daluran, Gebara, amongst others, they had been of essential relevance for the perception of the raised conjecture.
