Retalhos, costuras e remendos dos ancestrais na literatura negro-brasileira Sacramento, Douglas Santana Ariston Filho, Jesiel Ferreira de Oliveira This thesis is configured as a sacred Opá – an Opá-thesis woven around the theme of death, more specifically the figure of the ancestor, in works by writers of Black-Brazilian Literature: Ponciá Vicêncio, by the Minas Gerais writer Conceição Evaristo (2003); Um defeito de cor, by the Minas Gerais writer Ana Maria Gonçalves (2006); Bará na trilha do vento, by the São Paulo writer Miriam Alves (2015); Torto arado, by the Bahian writer Itamar Vieira Junior (2019); and Um corpo à deriva: dança, by the Minas Gerais writer Edimilson de Almeida Pereira (2020). The aim of this thesis is to analyze the selected novels through the lens of the theme of death, with emphasis on post-mortem instances, the relationship with ancestors and divinities, and the interactions between visible and invisible beings. Thus, the study constructs a reading that links the field of Black literature to the appearance of the ancestor within a post-mortem experience, highlighting its interweaving with diverse Afro-Brazilian religions, as each work mobilizes its own specificities within the narratives constructed. The methodological approach is qualitative and bibliographical, prioritizing works by Black authors and establishing a multidisciplinary dialogue among different fields of knowledge, amalgamating reflections on the literary novels analyzed. To this end, the thesis develops the imagetic construction of the sacred Opá – a garment used in the worship of the male ancestor in Candomblé – as a symbol that articulates the reading of the novels and the dialogue with other artistic languages, especially photography and music. In this way, the thesis dresses the ancestor present in BlackBrazilian literary works, and each section corresponds to a specific Opá, in which the ancestor, endowed with the ritual garment, dances throughout the pages. The dialogue established with the works thus examines the religious specificities of each novel, as well as the ways in which death and post-mortem experience are manifested and how the ancestor moves within each narrative.

Ê La, mano! “A Barca já está tomada” a vida social de um marujo em um candomblé do sertão baiano Passos, Flavio José dos MELLO, MARCELO MOURA The aim of this study is to analyze the daily relationships and coexistence between the “Povo de Dola” community (Vitória da Conquista, Bahia) and spiritual entities, especially Maria Padilha, the Erês and a Marujo, both in the context of the family dynamics of Vó Dola's descendants and in the religious experiences of the Terreiro de Xangô, a candomblé Nação Angola of local tradition. Revered in various branches of Afro-Brazilian religions, “water” beings known as Marinheiros, Pescador, Capitão and Marujos are present in most terreiros in the Vitória da Conquista region, but also from Ilhéus to Bom Jesus da Lapa, as well as other regions of Bahia and Brazil. The study is constituted as an ethnography whose construction makes it possible to approach the “social life” of a spiritual entity in a context crossed by the various forms of racism in Brazilian society. One of the central figures in the terreiro, the Marujo, as he adapts to the life of the group and the person who receives him - Mãe Fátima, a leader of the terreiro - he also transforms himself, beyond a spiritual entity, into a social, educational, cultural and political agent who promotes group cohesion.

História da África e afrobrasileira na educação no Piemonte da Diamantina: aproximações entre estudos africanos, historiografia e práticas escolares Rodrigues, Mariza do Carmo Figueiredo, Fábio Baqueiro This thesis analyzes the presence and the meanings attributed to the teaching of African History, Afro-Brazilian and African Culture in basic education within the Identity Territory of Piemonte da Diamantina (TIPD), in the state of Bahia, between 2003 and 2018. Taking as a reference Law No. 10.639/2003 and the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations, the research seeks to understand to what extent these legal frameworks have been appropriated and incorporated into the daily life of public schools, with special attention to the municipality of Jacobina and its area of influence. The investigation is grounded in the contributions of African Studies and African and Africanist historiography—produced both on the continent and in Brazil—as well as in the recognition of the centrality of the Black movement as a fundamental political subject in the formulation of the law and in the struggle over historical narratives in the school curriculum. The study adopts a qualitative approach using both documentary and empirical sources. It analyzes pedagogical projects from the History program at the State University of Bahia (UNEB), national curricular documents such as the National Curriculum Parameters (PCNs), to Law 10.639/2003. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with public school teachers (especially History teachers) and school administrators working in the region. The interviews were examined based on oral history methodology, according to Verena Alberti, and analyzed using content analysis as proposed by Laurence Bardin. The data reveal advances in the recognition of Afro-Brazilian history and culture in the curriculum, alongside significant challenges in implementation. Gaps remain in teacher training, difficulties in accessing appropriate teaching materials, and institutional resistance that limits the law's effectiveness. On the other hand, there are specific pedagogical initiatives that demonstrate a commitment to transforming history teaching and valuing African ancestry as a structuring dimension of national identity. By highlighting the tensions between legislation and school practices, this thesis contributes to the debate on educational policies related to ethnic-racial relations and reaffirms the importance of a critical approach to history that engages with Black epistemologies and the knowledge produced in peripheral educational territories.

Nêngua vó: o ventre que pariu o tempo Paiva Moreira, Stéphanie Campos Moura Mello, Marcelo This Dissertation consists on an investigation about Afrodiasporic ancestry based through the narration of the stories of four generations of black women, which belonged to a black Family which lived in the aftermath of abolition of slavery, in the border between Brazil and Uruguay. Having as a starting point an anthropological research sustained by formal academic writing, this work has transcended such forms, favoring creative writing and an immersion on performative art. The persona which initially narrates – and is object of narration – is called Nêngua, a word of Kikongo origin that serve as a metaphor for the role occupied by women vis-à-vis their diasporic communities. My goal is to understand which collective strategies were built by black people in diaspora and how aged people provided care, guidance, and shelter to their communities in situations of enslavement or redesigning projects of freedom after the abolition of slavery. I argue that when ancestors are my own ancestors, ethical and poetic challenges emerge: how to narrate without taking out their dignity again and their self-right to possess their own speeches? This Dissertation is situated at the boundaries, of art and anthropology, between distinct was of narrating a story full of hardships, which still is bleeding but it is on its way to healing, between Brazil and Uruguay, in the heart of the diaspora.
