          Abstract

          Resumo As imagens tridimensionais dos santos católicos têm sido analisadas por uma ampla literatura – antropológica e histórica – a partir principalmente da discussão sobre as noções de presença e de representação. Baseada numa observação minuciosa sobre as formas de interação entre os devotos e as imagens de Santa Rita numa igreja sob sua invocação na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, recupero concepções “nativas” que permitem complexificar o uso das categorias de presença e de representação nas análises sobre as devoções aos santos. Ao mesmo tempo, mostro como essas categorias implicam o uso de outras concepções antropológicas importantes, como as de corpo e de pessoa, discussão que faço a partir das contribuições da antropologia dos objetos, da devoção, dos rituais e do simbolismo.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Three-dimensional images of Catholic saints have been analyzed by a wide anthropological and historical literature mainly from notions of presence and representation. This work examines the interaction between devotees and the images of Saint Rita in a church dedicated to her in Rio de Janeiro. The paper focuses on “native” conceptions to make the uses of presence and representation more complex when analyzing devotions to the saints. By considering discussions about the anthropology of objects, devotion, rituals and symbolism, it shows how the relationship with images of saints implies the use of other key anthropological concepts such as body and person.
