Resumo: This paper aims to analyze the meaning of one’s body within the religious experience of some enslaved people abducted from Central Africa, who lived in Pernambuco, during the 1630s, through the analytical reading of two texts written on that period by Zacharias Wagener, a European traveler who lived in that region. It aims to demonstrate that the motion (movement) of their bodies, described in such texts, was connected to their abilities to transcend, overcoming suffering, and building meaningful lives. This was possible through the reinterpretation of some elements found in their original Central African religious traditions, transplanted to Brazil, which contributed to the survival and alternative understanding, in this colonial territory, of the religious inheritance from their birthplace continent.

Procura-se demonstrar que o movimento de seus corpos, descrito nestes relatos, estava ligado à sua capacidade de transcendência, superação do sofrimento e construção de sentido por meio da releitura de alguns elementos das tradições religiosas centro--africanas transplantadas para o Brasil, que contribuíam para a sobrevivência e ressignificação, neste território colonial, das heranças religiosas de seu continente de origem.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2020-06-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/4921510.23925/1677-1222.2020vol20i1a2REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 20 No. 1 (2020): O corpo em movimento: espiritualidade e transcendência; 11-25REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 20 n. 1 (2020): O corpo em movimento: espiritualidade e transcendência; 11-251677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
