Resumo: The present study has as starting point the arrest of the Spanish occult Jose Maria Dominguez y Dominguez, accused of practicing illegal medical practice. From the narration of this event we seek to understand who this person was and what were the practices of healing and representation used during the period in which the process was open between 1923 and 1928 for him. Decreasing the scale of observation, attribute of micro -history, helped us to see the sociocultural universe that individual. In times when the sources cannot give us the answers sought, we make use of the concept of |likelihood| of Natalie Davis, looking historically determined the possibilities for the study period. The concepts of representation and appropriation practices were used according to the definition made by Roger Chartier. Dominguez had a practice of healing hybrid, formed by traditional medicine, modern medicine and magical practices of the occult, who became a mediator between different cultural forms. The notion of |mediator| was used by Peter Burke to understand the role of subjects alternate between |literacy| and |traditional oral culture|, in which case we studied is the healing practices used by academic and medical practices popular cure. The |civilizing| project of the Brazilian government sought the end of some of these practices. The actions that sought to modernize Aracaju agreed with this project. At a time of transformation, Dominguez, fighting for the survival of their practices, finding footholds in social and cultural settings that participated.
