O recuso pedagógico das danças em religiões afro-brasileiras na conservação das tradições de um povo: táticas de resistência e guerra cultural

Abstract

This article aims to present, in a synthesized way, certain emerging reflections regarding the religious traditions of people of African descent in Brazil. We bring historiographical elements to support the enunciated approach and concatenate contemporary elements that relate to them. We aim to awaken the critical view of the descent towards the world that surrounds him and propose reflections that combine history of the past with the history of the present. Through the literature review presented here, the reader will be able to know some relevant factors without, therefore, reaching the exhaustion of the theme. We also focused on the cultural manifestation as a fundamental pair with religion and, therefore, consonant with it. Thus, within this substrate, we chose Afro performative dance as the scope of analysis and presentation.
