The brotherhood counted among its members some of Salvador’s most illustrious and powerful citizens. In 1936 and 1937, for example, Bahia’s highest-ranking civilian authority – Getulio Vargas’s appointed interventor, Juracy Magalha˜ es – sat on the board of the lay brotherhood.18 While the available sources do not reveal any official stance Magalhaes may have taken on the washing, we know enough about the interventor’s position on popular culture in Salvador to suggest that he would have looked on it favourably. Magalhaes’s political style was similar to that of Vargas, in that both made populist overtures to working-class concerns and working-class culture (if only to co-opt Brazil’s urban industrial workers into the Vargas regime’s twin projects of economic modernisation and nation-state formation). For example, during the Magalhaes interventorship, a licensing system was in place to regulate rather than persecute Candomble´ (although raids still occurred). All terreiros (or the religious complex of shrines, sacred artefacts and plants, public ceremonial halls and often the living quarters of those directly responsible for ritual practices) wishing
ResponderEliminarto have major ceremonies had to solicit written permission from the police and pay a fee, especially if the ceremonies were to include drumming. This tactic brought Candomble´ within the administrative largesse of the state and was typical of the Vargas government’s increasing institutionalisation of its relationships with Brazil’s working classes. Furthermore, Magalhaes had also encouraged a more lenient view of the Afro- Brazilian martial art capoeira by issuing Salvador’s first license to teach capoeira in an academy in 1932, and by inviting one of the city’s leading practitioners to put on an exhibition in the gubernatorial residence in the mid-1930 s. It seems quite tenable, then, that Magalhaes may have had some involvement in encouraging the revival of the washing of Bonfim. Any hesitancy on his part in taking a public position in favour of the washing may have been out of respect for Archbishop da Silva.19
