“Mother of children who go and children who come”: Affective restructuring in the trajectory of a faith healer
Through an oral interview, produced with a healer from Cleveland, we problematized issues such as motherhood, gender, family, inheritance, donation-adoption, protection-unprotection, careless care. We dealed with identity constructions that permeate the narrative, transiting between secrets and violence, roles assumed in sociocultural, economic and political dimensions. The learning and practice of blessing intertwined meanings that, in the narrative, constituted tangles that cross temporally. The narrative reveals lives in movement, whose affections-disaffections were observed from the act of remembering, justifying the choice for such an interview, among the 14 of the post-doctoral research set.

Abstract:
Through an oral interview, produced with a healer from Cleveland, we problematized issues such as motherhood, gender, family, inheritance, donation-adoption, protection-unprotection, careless care. We dealed with identity constructions that permeate the narrative, transiting between secrets and violence, roles assumed in sociocultural, economic and political dimensions. The learning and practice of blessing intertwined meanings that, in the narrative, constituted tangles that cross temporally. The narrative reveals lives in movement, whose affections-disaffections were observed from the act of remembering, justifying the choice for such an interview, among the 14 of the post-doctoral research set.
