Resumo: Considering the visual culture of the African diaspora, this article analyzes the effects of the presence of Gbe language groups in the formation of the lexicon used in detailing the ritual scarification of the African population present in the diamond district of the captaincy of Minas Gerais in the eighteenth century. It focuses on the historical process of spreading the term geja, exploring both its meanings linked to specific patterns of scarification and its widespread use for African body markings in general. Its emergence is examined as an index of a broader chain of meanings connected to the Gbe ethnogenesis in a context of great urban concentration of people from Costa da Mina.

O enfoque é dado sobre o processo histórico de difusão do termo “geja”, explorando tanto os seus significados ligados a padrões específicos de escarificações como o seu uso generalizado para marcas corporais africanas, independentemente da origem étnica. Examina-se a sua emergência como índice de uma cadeia mais ampla de significados atrelados à etnogênese jeje em um contexto de grande concentração urbana de povos da Costa da Mina.  UFBA2021-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/3866210.9771/aa.v0i63.38662Afro-Ásia; No. 63 (2021)Afro-Ásia; n. 63 (2021)1981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/38662/24837Copyright (c) 2021 Adair Rodrigueshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRodrigues, Aldair2021-11-30T22:43:04Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/38662Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2021-11-30T22:43:04Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
