Abstract

The question of defining frontiers for anthropological research emerges when the inclusions and exclusions that compose our analytical tools are defined. This issue is more complex when the research focuses notions such as "community", "black identity" and "culture", which are used beyond the limits of academic investigation. The aim of this paper is to investigate the controversies about conceptual and political processes implied in theses notions when they are "shared" by natives and anthropologists. This will be achieved through the comparison of meanings observed on the discourse about "culture" in Morro da Mangueira, the discourse on "samba people" produced by a newspaper and the anthropological discourse. Through these comparisons we find a particular "native" definition of "cultural identity" in which, more than the sum of common elements to a collective dimension, one observes a variety of ways of relating differences.
