Processos de legitimação do poder tradicional no regulado Luís na Cidade da Beira

Abstract

Starting from a hypothesis proposed by Balandier and applying it to a reality in the city of Beira, more specifically in the Airport district where the regulated Luís is located, we intend to prove that the processes of legitimation of power in this regulated are not just a result of a lived past by this community, but these processes go through the adoption of more contemporary mechanisms of community life. In the case of regulated Luís, we can see that political legitimacy is influenced by hegemony in the family and popular in the regulated. The control over the cemetery, the ability of the regulation to provide the rain and perform the most important ceremonies do not supplant the legitimacy that the regulation can gain through a policy of redistribution of the economic benefits of the regulated by its most direct relatives. This research will be developed in a hypothetical-deductive process supported by the theory of action from the perspective of Max Weber, as we believe that the possibility of the army of symbolic power passes through the capacity of the regulation, to activate mechanisms of symbolic control and violence through which it imposes convincing meanings, beliefs, ways of seeing and acting that are in their favor. Data collection will be done preferably, through instruments such as interviews, life stories. However, the pre-survey data partially validated our hypothesis by guaranteeing that it is a feasible research. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
