The dissertation aims to understand the set of interactions established between terreiros and bocas-de-fumo located in the city of Maceió, Alagoas from two relational bundles: ritual and gender stylizations. It is anchored in an ethnography that considers special attention to the space of interlocution between bocas-de-fumo and terreiros as a result of changes in forms of governance over life in the peripheries, as well as the productive technologies generated in terreiros from the incorporation of entities and control of the circulation of information. As a background, changes in the forms of government in the peripheries of Maceio from what locally came to be called the rupture of the alliance between the criminal collectives Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho regarding the production of senses of masculine identification remain in abeyance. In this sense, being ethnographically inspired, it is nourished by the role of encounters and possibilities of interlocution established from the performance of different roles in interpersonal networks. Concerned with following the relational plots elaborated with queers and márginals - the research's interlocutors -, the field of concern gradually changed. In a first moment, the center of the project was to follow the battles of queers through the incorporation of female spirits and their production crossing gender stylizations as dangerous. However, following episodes and narratives involving their friendly relations made it opportune to observe plots involving men in criminal dynamics. In this way, this shift in focus led to an approach with a body of literature gathered among different concerns. More roughly, studies on gender and sexuality in terreiros; forms of government in Brazilian urban peripheries and the dialogue on illicit markets more properly related to drug trafficking. In relation to these different research contexts, the accumulation of works exploring interfaces between gender and sexuality studies and urban peripheries has sensitized the idea of the intersection of an unprecedented field of relations articulating different social landscapes. In this sense, in relation to the context of Alagoas, it is possible to argue that the idea of gender styles and rituals seems to point to how the presence of a patriarchal bias in structures of care and protection - in which the hierarchy in terreiros is situated, is founded through transitional experiences, in which subjects experience a constant immanence. Gender, in this way, articulates itself much more to the idea of an eternal tension and delimitation of another to be fought, than necessarily a stabilization of meaning.
