Abstract

This text comes to present the intellectual position of Fernando do Ò, military, lawyer and spiritualist who worked in Santa Maria from 1930 to 1950. These discussions were supported in the analysis of Pierre Bourdieu on perceived disputes of religious field. We highlight his positions from that was published in the Diário do Interior newspaper from 1930 to 1937, thus, we propose a reflection of his writing in the local press in order to demarcate Spiritist identity in face of the plurality of mediumistic practices.
