Resumo: | This essay aims to analyze the development of the cult of the twin saints Cosmas and Damian in Bahia. By way of an examination of historical sources related to the cult – with a primary focus on newspapers and other popular media sources from the city of Salvador from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th – the author demonstrates that the cult of the twin saints in Salvador only begins to take off when it emerges in association with the world of Black cultural practices. By the turn of the 20th century, the cult becomes a widespread part of Salvador’s culture. The data suggest that much more than a type of “syncretism,” the devotion to Saints Cosmas and Damian is an innovation that despite being rooted in many European and African cosmologies, can never be reduced to any of them. |

Através de um levantamento histórico sobre o culto – com o enfoque principal em jornais e outras fontes populares da cidade do Salvador entre a segunda metade do século XIX e a primeira metade do século XX – o autor mostra que o culto dos santos gêmeos em Salvador só começa a ter fôlego a partir do momento que emerge já associado ao mundo negro. A partir daí é que, até a virada do século XX, o culto se generaliza dentro da cultura soteropolitana. Os dados sugerem que muito mais que um “sincretismo”, a devoção de São Cosme e Damião se trata de uma novidade baiana que apesar de se basear em muitas cosmologias europeias e africanas, não pode ser reduzida a nenhuma delas.UFBA2023-12-31info: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/5358210.9771/aa.v0i68.53582Afro-Ásia; No. 68 (2023); 406-453Afro-Ásia; n. 68 (2023); 406-4531981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/53582/31263Copyright (c) 2024 Michael Iyanagahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessIyanaga, Michael 2024-01-20T17:14:32Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/53582Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2024-01-20T17:14:32Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false |
