SUMMARY:

The main objective of this master's thesis is to analyze the different logics that underlie the process of
collecting objects used to make religious domestic altars. It is about analyzing how different families
from the Nossa Senhora das Dores neighborhood, located in the city of União dos Palmares, state of
Alagoas, Brazil, collect objects of a religious nature, such as images, rosaries, pictures and photographs of
Catholic saints, with the purpose of to produce domestic religious altars; which stories and memories are
produced from the relationship between the families that contributed to the research and their collections
of religious objects; how these objects are exchanged between members of different families, contributing
to the production of affective memories, cultural references and religious ceremonies performed for them;
the way these objects circulate among the studied families; the aesthetics that are adopted by these
families in the conservation and assembly of their religious altars. In order to reach the proposed
objective, a qualitative methodology of ethnographic character was used, based, at first, on a
bibliographic and documentary survey and, secondly, on interviews with a group of residents of the
neighborhood. The conclusions point, first, to the existence of a plurality of meanings that underlie the
acquisition of these objects, their subsequent organization and aggregation to the religious altars of the
families that contributed to the research; then, to the fact that there is a plurality of forms of attribution of
technical and aesthetic meanings of conservation of collection objects in the composition of domestic
religious altars.
