O Feitiço da Preta Velha tem (Re) existência de Preta Nova: uma etnografia arqueológica da materialização do Sagrado Afro-diaspórico na Vida Cotidiana das Periferias de Bagé e Pelotas, RS.

Abstract

The Old Black Witch Spell consists in the materialization of Afro-religious practices that perpetuate cultural elements of the African Diaspora, which is made possible by the resistance of Young Black Women, the black women who takes care of the sacred in her home, making ancestral knowledge and beliefs resist the multiple forms of oppression imposed by colonialism in the daily life of the outskirts. To understand the materialization of the spiritual world, I attended afro religion houses in Bagé and Pelotas observing and learning about Afro-religious practices in the sacred spaces of Umbanda Cruzada. In this sense, this work sought an approach based on feminist and decolonial studies to present an archaeological ethnography of the things that materialize Orixás and spiritual entities in contemporary sacred spaces, which, through the situated knowledge of Afro-religious people, lead us to understand the energies, existential powers and ancestry that permeate the slave spaces we study in the archeology of the African diaspora.
