The present research aims to deepen the knowledge and social reflections regarding the resistance to stigmatization of religious practices of african matrix, from the narrative-interactive microanalysis of an interview between two people engaged in these practices. Sociointeractional Perspective of Discourse and Narrative Analysis ground the work, which is qualitative-interpretativist, with ethnographic inspiration. During the interview, the participants co-create a central narrative, whose content is the life story of the interviewee, based on small narrative episodes embedded, related to the religious context in which they are inserted. The interlocutors need to handle the tension of the stigma of religious practices of african matrix, that permeate all conversation, and they also have to resist it. The analysis of the social encounter suggests a link between this stigmatization and the racist macrodiscourses, which devalue blacknesses and oppress black people. In addition, the study of the interactional context points out that other stigmas, such as religion and social class, contribute to labeling religious practices of african matrix as deviant. The interlocutors resort to reflexivity in the act of narrating, which fulfills the function of resisting the derogatory stereotypes (savagery, wickedness, primitivism, ignorance) to which religious practices of african matrix have been related in common sense. as well as counteracting it to the values and beliefs that practitioners consider appropriate to their social identities. In this way, they distribute alternative discourses, with values and beliefs appropriate to the social identities they intend to perform.
