Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT This article, about the Areruya religion of the Ingarikó people in the village of Manalai, located in the state of Roraima, Brazil, compares the discourse of two myths about the origin of the current Areruya. One of the myths was transcribed by Audrey Butt Colson (1960) in the 1950s, and the other by the anthropologist Maria Virgínia do Amaral (2019) between 2014 and 2017. The objective of comparing the two discourses was to present the articulations of each one for a new cosmological and social configuration, following the arrival of the colonizer. To achieve this, we used the idea of the “in-between” from the studies of Homi Bhabha (1994) in The Location of Culture because it allows for the use of text analysis as discourse without fixing any intrinsic meaning to them, creating a sliding space. RESUMO Este artigo sobre a religião Areruya dos Ingarikó da aldeia Manalai, localizada no estado de Roraima, compara o discurso de dois mitos sobre a origem do atual Areruya. Um dos mitos foi transcrito por Audrey Butt Colson (1960) na década de 1950 e o outro pela antropóloga Maria Virgínia do Amaral (2019) entre 2014 e 2017. O objetivo da comparação entre os dois discursos foi apresentar as articulações de cada um para uma nova configuração cosmológica e social, a partir da chegada do colonizador. Para tanto, fizemos uso da ideia de entre-lugar oriunda dos estudos de Homi Bhabha (2001) - em O local da cultura -, porque ela permite utilizar o método de análise de textos como discurso sem fixar algum sentido intrínseco a eles, criando um espaço deslizante.
