SUMMARY:

Slavery in the Amazon generated a context of resistance and insubordination on the part of the
black population, who, despite the cruelties to which they were subjected, developed strategies
of survival and protest. Africans trafficked to the Americas adapted their beliefs, cultures and
traditions, creating a territoriality of resistance that integrated knowledge, rituals, festivals,
medicines and cosmologies, merging the influences of Africa and Brazil. This thesis explores
two forms of resistance: the quilombo and the festival, which, in a unique and political way,
allowed the preservation of memories, stories and identities. In particular, the festival of
Marambire, celebrated in the quilombo of Pacoval, in Para, which dates back to the royal court
of Congo, stands out. The research sought to understand which traces of African origin indicate
the presence of Marambire in the Pacoval quilombo and, more specifically, where the black
influences in the representations of the festival come from, with an emphasis on Bantu origins,
especially in the cultures of the Congo-Angola regions. Although influenced by black
Catholicism, this cultural manifestation of congada preserves and celebrates African heritage,
expressed through rites, dances and symbolic elements of the Bacongo religious universe. The
Marambire festival makes reference to the ancient kingdoms of Congo and is configured as a
performance-ritual, a "geoafrography", in which the body in movement transits between the
memory of the past and the affirmation of the present, strengthening the territory, creating
temporalities and preserving knowledge and philosophies.
