O Olubajé de Odé: fragmentos da vida no terreiro

Abstract

This report aims to present the experience of creating the book-report: “O Olubajé de Odé”, constructed under the concepts of Literary Journalism and its derivations such as Profile Journalism and Subjectivity Journalism. This work is subdivided in such a way that, firstly, it presents the project that originated the book with its justification, theoretical foundation, brief description of the chapters, choice of title and its graphic design. Secondly, this report is dedicated to recounting the process of creating the book-report, beginning with the choice of themes, choice of sources, preparation and agenda, interviews and concluding with the writing process of the journalistic product. The book, to which this report refers, aims to present a humanized view of Umbanda. It is divided into six chapters, where, through the stories of the interviewees, fundamental aspects and elements of the religion are explored, which are often misunderstood and the target of prejudice by society.
