Resumo: This article aims to reflect upon African-Brazilian cults’ reactions to Covid-19 outbreak. Instead of make generalizing statements, however, in this text I describe some specific ethnographic moments that have been located in different contexts – the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul and the northeastern state of Bahia – through an online fieldwork experience. As one of the first results of a research in progress about Eshu, a powerful god that deals with movement and communication, it will additionally discuss the ideas of mediation, care and difference that characterize those religious communities´ thought.

Sin embargo, en lugar de generalizaciones este texto ofrece descripciones de algunos momentos etnográficos específicos ubicados en dos contextos regionales – los estados brasileños de Rio Grande do Sul y Bahía – mediante una experiencia de trabajo de campo online. Cómo un de los primeros resultados de una investigación en curso sobre Eshu, poderoso dios de las transformaciones y de la comunicación, el ensayo también va a abordar las ideas de mediación, cuidado y diferencia que caracterizan el pensamiento de estas mismas comunidades religiosas.Este artigo propõe-se a pensar a reação dos cultos afro-brasileiros à pandemia da Covid-19. Em vez de generalizações, porém, o presente texto procura desdobrar alguns momentos etnográficos específicos, localizados em dois contextos, o Rio Grande do Sul e a Bahia, e possibilitados por mediações online. Sendo um dos primeiros resultados de uma pesquisa em andamento – que tematiza a agência de Exu, divindade do movimento e da comunicação, nestas localidades – o artigo procura evidenciar, também, alguns aspectos da intensa reflexão prático-conceitual sobre mediação, diferença e cuidado que atravessa tais religiões e que tem chamado a atenção da bibliografia específica recente.Editora FGV2021-05-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/83001Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 34 No. 73 (2021): Tempos de Pandemia; 299-319Revista Estudos Históricos; v. 34 n. 73 (2021): Tempos de Pandemia; 299-3192178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/83001/79435http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessQueiroz, Vítor2021-05-20T12:18:06Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/83001Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:02:17.962712Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
