Túndé cultura material, decolonialidade e reafricanização : a cultura material dos cultos afro-brasileiros retornando às suas raízes. Orientador: Roberto Airon Silva. 2025. 41 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em História) - Departamento de História, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Natal, RN, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/67850This work is grounded in the field of History and aims to understand how our relationships with material culture can explain deeper dimensions of coloniality and how the re-Africanization of Orisha cults in Brazil, as a historical phenomenon, is intimately related to this context, and can currently be understood as practically inseparable from decolonial theories. This correlation between the historical phenomenon of re-Africanization, material culture, and the marks of colonial processes brings about a debate of high social importance, because it proposes to do more than question the social structures that subordinate Afro-Brazilian religions; it proposes to observe the epistemic and existential possibilities that arise when these religions are deservedly placed in the central role of their own historicity. The use of concepts from the humanities with written sources, coupled with examples of issues related to material culture, will guide the understanding that materiality, beyond invisible power structures, is a fundamental element in understanding the refined strategies of violence imposed by coloniality on traditional societies, and how these societies, once targeted by this violence, can choose to organize themselves to combat it.pt-BRAttribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/DecolonialidadeCultura MaterialReafricanizaçãoOrixáReligiosidade.Túndé cultura material, decolonialidade e reafricanização : a cultura material dos cultos afro-brasileiros retornando às suas raízesTúndé material culture, decoloniality, and re-Africanization: the material culture of Afro-Brazilian cults returning to their rootsbachelorThesisCIENCIAS HUMANAS::HISTORIA
