Abstract

The doctrine and religious movement entitled Vale do Amanhecer, was formed as an institution in the year of 1960, located in Brazil, was constituted as a doctrine more precisely in the region near to Brasilia, in the city of Planaltina, and nowadays counts with over 650 temples scattered in Brazil and other countries, as England, Portugal, United States, English Guyana and Trinidad Tobago. Their rituals and the composition of their prayers and costumes are marked by great cultural and religious hybridity. Their work aims to analyze the hybrid traits, which means, to analyze the mixture of cultural and religious elements of the movement as the representations around the symbols, figures, paintings that are present in the structure of the temples and costumes, as also analyze the daily life of the mediums that integrate this doctrine. We are going to work with time and space milestones, to the development of some researches, for example: the establishment of the institution in 1969, as the distribution and expansion of temples to other cities. To elaborate the research, part of the institution's own iconographies, oral reports, photographs, images will be used, as archives from the magazine entitled Correio Braziliense-DF and from the journal Diário de Pernambuco, and some information found on the internet about the doctrinal constitution of this movement denominated Vale do amanhecer.
