The article questions the transformation of the exercise of religious authority in suggesting that it supposes a change in the representations of death as well as of the figures of dead people. The argument draws on the ethnographic observation of changes that have recently affected a rural coastal locality of northern Ceara (Brazil), in which the main economic activity shifted from fishing to tourism in the last decades. The local representations of the community regarding the post mortem fate of the deceased are described and analysed, before being put into perspective with the modes of exercise of religious authority as well as of political power, in a context of fast social transformations.
