Resumo: This article analyzes the Coleção Perseverança, a collection of pieces stolen from some terreiros in a repression episode occurred in 1912, at Maceió. Exposed at the Historical and Geographical Institute of Alagoas, this archive has not been issue of scientific studies ever since. I tried to fill gaps, tracing its path so far, demonstrating the transformations of the xangô alagoano, at the liturgical and ritual levels. Through a construction of an inventory, I investigated their original uses to properly reference the pieces. This quest for the object’s biography was produced with the participation of the Afro-Brazilian religious community in Alagoas and Bahia, focusing on traditional knowledge, mythology and cosmological system. Those object’s biographies also had brought important discoveries, like a divinity completely disappeared from the local Afro-Brazilian pantheon with its liturgical knowledge. It is the orixá Baiani, a rare one, only found in a few houses in Bahia.

Abrigado pelo Instituto Histórico e Geográfico de Alagoas, o acervo nunca foi objeto de estudos científicos. Esta pesquisa tenta preencher lacunas, traçando a grande transformação ritual e litúrgica sofrida pelo xangô alagoano. A partir de um processo de construção de um inventário desses objetos, uma investigação foi realizada em busca de seus usos originais para referenciá-los devidamente. A construção da biografia dos objetos foi realizada com a participação da comunidade religiosa afro-alagoana e baiana, privilegiando o conhecimento tradicional, a mitologia e o sistema cosmológico. Essas biografias também possibilitaram importantes descobertas, como uma divindade que desapareceu completamente do panteão local junto com seu conhecimento litúrgico – trata-se do orixá Baiani, considerado raro e atualmente só encontrado em alguns terreiros da Bahia.UFBA2021-11-29info: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/4209010.9771/aa.v0i64.42090Afro-Ásia; No. 64 (2021); 363-399Afro-Ásia; n. 64 (2021); 363-3991981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/42090/25534Copyright (c) 2021 Larissa Fonteshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFontes, Larissa2022-06-21T15:23:15Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/42090Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2022-06-21T15:23:15Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
