Resumo: | This article analyzes the materiality of funeral practices in Lower Casamance in the 16th and 17th centuries. In this region, the importance of life after death was the guiding principle of funeral practices. The article presents different historical contexts in which funeral rites occurred and the materials the dead carried to the other world. This analysis of the burial rite and practices allows us to understand a series of political, economic, social, and cultural articulations of local realities. Ceremonial practices in the Cacheu and Sierra Leone regions were different. Despite this, we argue that, in both areas, burials were at the center of sociability relationships between the living and ancestors and between people from the same group. |

En esta región, la importancia de la vida después de la muerte era el principio rector de las prácticas funerarias. El artículo presenta diferentes contextos históricos en los que ocurrieron los ritos funerarios y los materiales que los muertos llevaban al otro mundo. Este análisis del rito y las prácticas funerarias nos permite comprender una serie de articulaciones políticas, económicas, sociales y culturales de las realidades locales. Las prácticas ceremoniales en las regiones de Cacheu y Sierra Leona eran diferentes. A pesar de esto, sostenemos que, en ambas regiones, los entierros estaban en el centro de las relaciones de sociabilidad entre los vivos y los antepasados y entre personas del mismo grupo.O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a materialidade das práticas funerárias no Oeste africano no Baixo Casamansa nos séculos 16 e 17. A importância da vida após a morte era o fio condutor das práticas funerárias. Neste texto discutimos os contextos históricos em que aconteciam os ritos funerários, bem como os materiais que os mortos levavam consigo para o outro mundo. Esta análise do rito e das práticas de sepultamento permite compreender uma série de articulações de cunho político, econômico, social e cultural das realidades locais. As práticas cerimoniais na região de Cacheu e em Serra Leoa eram diferentes. Apesar disso, argumentamos que, nas duas regiões, os sepultamentos estavam no centro das relações de sociabilidades entre vivos e ancestrais, bem como entre pessoas do mesmo grupo.Editora da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás2024-02-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionavaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://seer.pucgoias.edu.br/index.php/habitus/article/view/1362810.18224/hab.v21i2.13628Revista Habitus - Journal of the Goiano Institute of Prehistory and Anthropology; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2023): Materialities of Death: Practices, Symbols and Funeral Spaces in Historical Contexts; 453-477Revista Habitus - Revista del Instituto Goiano de Prehistoria y Antropología; Vol. 21 Núm. 2 (2023): Materialidades de la muerte: prácticas, símbolos y espacios funerarios en contextos históricos; 453-477Revista Habitus - Revista do Instituto Goiano de Pré-História e Antropologia; v. 21 n. 2 (2023): Materialidades da Morte: Práticas, Símbolos e Espaços Funerários em Contextos Históricos; 453-4771983-779810.18224/hab.v21.2.2023reponame:Habitusinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC-GO)instacron:PUC-GOporhttps://seer.pucgoias.edu.br/index.php/habitus/article/view/13628/6511Copyright (c) 2024 Roberth Daylon Freitas, Vanicléia Silva Santoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva Santos, VanicléiaFreitas, Roberth Daylon2024-02-23T17:58:23Zoai:ojs2.seer.pucgoias.edu.br:article/13628Revistahttp://seer.pucgoias.edu.br/index.php/habitus/indexPRIhttps://seer.pucgoias.edu.br/index.php/habitus/oaihabitus@pucgoias.edu.br||sibeli@pucgoias.edu.br|| felixpadua@gmail.com1983-77981678-6475opendoar:2024-02-23T17:58:23Habitus - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC-GO)false |

This article analyzes the materiality of funeral practices in Lower Casamance in the 16th and 17th centuries. In this region, the importance of life after death was the guiding principle of funeral practices. The article presents different historical contexts in which funeral rites occurred and the materials the dead carried to the other world. This analysis of the burial rite and practices allows us to understand a series of political, economic, social, and cultural articulations of local realities. Ceremonial practices in the Cacheu and Sierra Leone regions were different. Despite this, we argue that, in both areas, burials were at the center of sociability relationships between the living and ancestors and between people from the same group. |
