SUMMARY:

Faced with the cruelty of slavery, surgery the insubordination and resistance of the black population in the Amazon. The Africans trafficked to the Americas adapted inscriptions, languages, beliefs, cultures, etc., that is, they were pioneers in the creation of a territoriality of survival in which they united the encounter between Africa and Brazil, producing know-how, rituals, festivities and other cosmologies. In spite of captivity, inhumane work, punishments and constant mistreatment, slave societies knew various forms of protest. Insurrections, rebellions, executions, escapes and the slowness in carrying out tasks merged with the hostility of the lords and the violence of the overseers. In this dissertation we will focus on two forms of protest: festivities and quilombagem. The quilombo was one of the numerous forms of resistance that blacks and enslaved blacks needed to produce for their personal – and collective – stories, memories and identities to be alive and free. Through the intense and complex articulation of the quilombamento, they are subject to the authorities and the Brazilian slave society, its capacity for organization and struggle. The festive moments represented the only moment in which they could have autonomy and freedom, as they allowed them to demonstrate traces of their cultures. In this period, in addition to the parties, they represented leisure, fun, sociability and ancestral connection, as the parties were intertwined with strategies that served both to enable the expression of their cultures and to articulate escapes. It was in these festive spaces that cultural languages of resistance emerged, where the counter-order to the slave system took place through the body in movement to the sound of batuque. In the face of this long process of diaspora, slavery and squatter settlements, very unique cosmologies were produced that express African heritage. Quilombo Pacoval, in the municipality of Alenquer, State of Pará, is an example of this, as it is home to a festivity that represents a royal court of Congo. Called Marambiré, the festival makes reference to the ancient reigns of Congo (consisting of Bantu groups that covered a large area of Central-West Africa), since some elements, such as the coronation of the King of Congo (a time when there were great celebrations), reached the Slavery Brazil in the form of a festive drama aimed at the representation of a Congo court. From the crossroads where narratives, historiographical records, spellings, territorialities, spatial practices and emotions are found, the notes that this dissertation aims to bring are intertwined in the sense of apprehending the traces of Africa from the production of the cultural practice of Marambiré carried out by the quilombolas of Pacoval. Marambiré is expressed in a ritualistic way involving dramatization, dance, fun, religiosity and ancestry. The festive experience that is contained in this work is immersed in the creation of a new alternative, demarcating a collective time that transits between a past of pain and anguish experienced by their enslaved ancestors, and the present where they celebrate and dance the freedom conquered in the midst of a Blackened Amazon. Therefore, based on fieldwork with the support of ethnography and phenomenology, we understand Marambiré as a performanceritual, a geoaphrography, which even though it is immersed in black Catholicism, still expresses its African ancestry through various elements of the party, constituting a unique spatiality whose premise is ancestry. The dancing body crosses the dimensions of ancestry, religiosity, culture, memory, temporality and performativity.
