SUMMARY:
A Tutela do Oculto is a research project where I aim to map experiences that intersect with the transgressive/profaning spiritualities produced by the Carrancas that have crossed my life and manifest themselves in various cultural artifacts. As a starting point, I dive into a screen ethnography (Rial, 2005) through the pages of the comic book Carniça e a blindagem mística: A Tutela do Oculto (2021), by the artist Chico Shiko, to think about the powers that emerge from the central scene of the comic, where Carniça, the main character, meets the enchanted Carranca. In the background, I look at the Carrancas present in regional popular culture, from the figureheads to their use in the homes of Northeasterners, and my relationship with a specific Carranca and the production of a wooden piece in search of the experiment of affecting and being affected (Marques, 2016) in the research process. As a third element, I follow the paths to create an authorial documentary artistic production of the experience with the Carrancas and Exus that manifested during the act of research, approaching the thoughts and methods of the British theorist Mark Fisher to try to be “a flesh inkpot” (Colquhoun, 2021). To think about these “Other” readings, I produce a crossroads of dialogues between studies of spiritualities in relation to ideas about Northeastern identity and comics (HQs), through the field of Education. For this, it was necessary to seek a theoretical foundation that encompassed the various central concepts for the work, which was found in the foundations of Cultural Studies (CS), to debate the concepts proposed in this research for their anti-disciplinary nature. This research is structured at a theoretical crossroads, from the following approaches: comics as Cultural Artifacts and cultural pedagogy, and for this, I use the theoretical lenses of Cultural Studies (Hall, 1999, 2000, 2016; Williams, 1958; Fisher, 2020) as well as Brazilian commentators on Cultural Studies in Education, such as Marisa Vorraber Costa (2008, 2017), Tomaz Tadeu Silva (1999), and Alfredo Veiga-Neto (2000). To think about the intersections between spiritualities and identities, we turn to authors like Alexandre Simão Freitas (2021), Giorgio Agamben (2006, 2007), Jean Tible (2020), Luiz Rufino (2019), Luiz Antônio Simas (2019), and Michel Foucault (2018). For the theoretical-methodological path, we are seeking ways where images can emerge as theoretical powers, and for this, we are approaching A/r/tography as support, from the perspectives of artist/teachers/researchers, Belidson Dias and Rita Irwin (2013) and the contributions of Carmen Silvia Rial (2005) to think about the possibilities of a screen ethnography. For the analysis of the comic’s structure, I rely on the comics theorist Thierry Groensteen (2015). By situating this problem, this research presents insights on how the profaning experiences that emerge from the non-humans of the Carrancas create tensions in the views on experiences with spiritualities, as well as generate possibilities of confronting the dark atmosphere of capitalist realism.
