Resumo: On the background of resurging interest in ‚sites of power’, on both sides of the Atlantic, this essay presents a feature, sometimes marginalised in their theories: ‘agency’. It is understood that the recognition of the relation between ‘topography’ and ‘agency’ is required, to understand the dynamics of such sites, as experienced and codified in cultures and religions. This essay focusses on the ‘sites of water’ as important archetypes of Bantu African and Brazilian Diaspora cultures and religions. On the assumption of ancient formative connections of the Bantu with the Afro-Asiatic cultures, to which the Hebrew belongs, corresponding reports and concepts from the Bible are included in this analysis, disclosing systematically interesting features on this matrix by ‘archaeology of culture’.

Entende-se que é necessário o reconhecimento da relação entre 'topografia' e 'agência', para compreender a dinâmica de tais locais, como experientes e codificados em culturas e religiões. Este ensaio foca nos ‘locais da água’ como arquétipos importantes das culturas e religiões da Diáspora Africana e Brasileira Bantu. No pressuposto de antigas conexões formativas do Bantu com as culturas afro-asiáticas, às quais o hebraico pertence, relatórios e conceitos correspondentes da Bíblia são incluídos nesta análise, divulgando características sistematicamente interessantes nesta matriz, através da ‘Arqueologia da Cultura’.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2021-12-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/5498810.23925/1677-1222.2021vol21i3a4REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 21 No. 3 (2021): Religião e Arqueologia; 49-65REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 21 n. 3 (2021): Religião e Arqueologia; 49-651677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
