Abstract

When starting field research in the Morro Mangueira, received the warning: "you have to compromise, give back to the community." Reported to me that the "cultural heritage of the Mangueira" had been "stolen" by "people of society." And, while relating the notions of "community" and "society", explained to me, "the Mangueira is a family." The article explores this discourse Mangueirense, mostly heard in areas of interface between "community" and "society." There, the notion of "family green and pink" serves as an axis from which notions recompose the discursive production characteristics of the social sciences, such as "cultural heritage", "community" and "society." This particular idea of ​​"family", consisting of non-kin, is often described as "a tree full of fruit" and triggers a particular model of relation of otherness, the analysis giving rise to concepts such as network and rhizome. But why rhizome see if we show a tree?
