Abstract:
<div>Quand il est montré au Brésil, le théâtre yoruba du Nigeria est présenté comme une forme culturelle typiquement africaine, en l'occurrence yoruba. Pour son public américain, cette forme de théâtre qui met en scène des moments d'une saga des <em>orishas</em>, serait une sorte de témoin vivant de la culture que les ancêtres déportés ont quittée. Participer à une représentation de théâtre yoruba permettrait ainsi de se relier au monde des origines, ce monde idéal situé en Afrique avant la traite négrière, c'est-à-dire avant la « contagion » moderne. Pourtant, aux yeux des adeptes des cultes des <em>orishas</em> des villes de l'intérieur du pays yoruba au Nigeria, cette forme de théâtre est un genre considéré comme « amaro », c'est-à-dire « brésilien ». On tentera d'expliquerce paradoxe en montrant comment le théâtre yoruba s'inscritdans une histoire transatlantique dont les dynamiques informent d'une construction sociale complexe, et contemporaine. <br /></div>

Abstract:
Los itans traen en sí mismos las historias de los orishas a través de narrativas simbólico-imaginarias que portan significados, mensajes y representaciones. La cultura afrobrasileña tiene una gran cantidad de dioses mitológicos, los Orishas, conocidos por cuentos e historias, que contienen enseñanzas sobre sus personalidades, gobernaciones, debilidades y dominios. A partir de esta observación, el presente trabajo analiza la reinterpretación del itan del amor de Oshún y Oshosi, en el video musical Onda, del cantante de São Paulo Mc Tha. Al comparar las narraciones mitológicas (itans) de Oshún y Oshosi y el videoclip, se verifica la presencia de símbolos que remiten a las historias de estas deidades y se verifica que, al utilizar la mitología afrobrasileña en la construcción poético-literaria, el audiovisual rinde homenaje a estas deidades. Como apoyo al análisis, se usan las siguientes obras: O que é mito, de Everardo Rocha (1996), O poder do Mito, de Joseph Campbell (1988), Mito e Significado, Claude Levi-Strauss (1978), Mitologia dos Orixás, de Reginaldo Prandi (2001) y Orixás Deuses Iorubás na África e no novo mundo, de Pierre Fatumbi Verger (2018).

Abstract:
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Entwicklungsprozess der Santeria im Rahmen der Afrikanischen Diaspora. Dabei werden die pluralen Formen der Orisha-Religion der Yoruba in Afrika im Hinblick auf ihre Funktion als religiöses Fundament der Santeria untersucht. Im Folgenden wird die Entstehung der Santeria auf Kuba, bedingt durch die Einfuhr einer Vielzahl von Yoruba Sklaven, analysiert. Dabei spielt die Vermischung des kubanischen Volkskatholizismus mit den Orishas der Yoruba, die in einer neuen synkretischen Religion - die Santeria - mündet, eine hervorgehobene Rolle. Auch der Einfluss von anderen Glaubenssystemen (Spiritismus) wird an dieser Stelle deutlich gemacht. Im Mittelteil der Arbeit stehen die Emigrationen zahlreicher Kubanern nach der Revolution von 1959, welche somit die Santeria in die USA exportierten. Inwiefern sich die Santeria im Kontext der USA weiterentwickelte bzw. welche neuen Religionsvarianten entstanden sind, wird an dieser Stelle untersucht. Auch die zunehmende Kommerzialisierung der Santeria-Varianten wird kritisch analysiert, besonders im Hinblick auf die wachsende Bedeutung von Botanicas. Der letzte Teil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den gegenwärtigen Entwicklungstendenzen der Santeria zur Lifestyle-Kultur im Rahmen des spirituellen Shoppings und geht auf die öffentliche Wahrnehmung in den USA ein. Dabei wird auch die ‚breite Massentauglichkeit’ der Santeria im Vergleich zu anderen Immigrantenreligionen herausgestellt und ihr Potential als kulturell-religiöse Identifikationsmöglichkeit für diverse Migrantengemeiden in einer zunehmend globalisierten Welt untersucht.
This paper deals with the development of Santeria within the framework of the African Diaspora – rooting in Africa, emerging in Cuba, advancing in the USA. At first, the plural variants of the Yoruba Orisha religion in Africa are explored with regard to their function as religious basis of Santeria. In the following, the genesis of Santeria in Cuba, caused by the import of many Yoruba slaves, is analysed. In this process the blending of Cuban popular Catholicism with the Orishas of the Yoruba, which led to the emergence of Santeria as a syncretic religion, plays a major role. The influence of differing belief systems, such as Spiritism, on Santeria is highlighted as well. In the middle section of this paper the mass emigrations of Cubans, who brought Santeria to American shores, especially after Castro’s revolution in 1959, are examined in detail. The issues of how Santeria advanced within the American context and what kind of new religious variants emerged out of it are broached at this point. With particular regard to the growing importance of botanicas, the increasing character of commercialisation among different forms of Santeria is critically scrutinised. The final part of this paper deals with contemporary trends in the USA, where Santeria develops from an earlier religious character to a lifestyle-culture, clearly influenced by the process of spiritual shopping. At this point the broad attraction of Santeria, which appeals to multiple social groups in contrast to other immigrant religions, is emphasised. Due to her potential as cultural and religious opportunity for identification among several immigrant communities, Santeria advances to a source of identity among diasporic communities all over an increasingly globalised world.

This work has as its main proposal to establish a connection between Environmental Education and the afro-Brazilian referential using archetypes and itan (myths, histories and songs) of orishas in a transversalized way. My focus is to know which (new) concepts related to the environment are produced by the searching group when I refer to orishas. For this reason, I appealed to the Sociopoetic research, which is a new method for collective knowledge construction, because in this field there is a variety of possibilities which emerge in order to produce (new) concepts concerning a generating subject by means of multiple corporal and symbolic languages developed during the workshops for the production of data. The group invited to take part in this research was constituted by university students together with teachers from state schools in Fortaleza. During the work - more specifically in the Sociopoetic workshops - I preferred to use the word surrounding instead of environment. I also made use of the metaphor of the city quite frequently during the workshops in order to refer to the environment. The idea consisted of running away from the conceptual naturalizations. It was also my intention to stimulate the creativity of the group, since we search to find the different one, avoiding the repetition of concepts already known, as the sociopoetic research suggests. I gave special attention to the orisha Eshu, since this is âthe most controversialâ of the orishas. Eshu is the most human of the orishas, and besides that thereâs a pedagogical potential in it which may generate a multiplicity of concepts. This appeared in the results of the research when we deal with Eshu and its relation to the environment. Concerning to the other orishas, the production of new concepts was less visible. However, important relations were made with the generating subject. In this research, we have tried to value the afro-Brazilian matrix as a basic reference to think and live as deep as possible a culturally differentiated Environmental Education. I believe that this production is only a drop in the ocean, a step forward to the construction of environmental knowledge based in ancestral knowledge.

The objective of this writing is to present The Dramaturgy of the Orisha Dance by Augusto Omolú, Brazilian actor/dancer who was a member of the Danish group Odin Teatret, directed by Eugenio Barba. For nearly two decades, the artist sought to codify the orisha dance moves, a practice present in the Candomble ritual. This dissertation discusses, from the discourse of the artist, about the energy of the orishas as an impulse for the scenic creation. In this way, the dramaturgy was built between the movement, that brings in itself the mythology and the relationship of the orishas with the elements of nature, and the dramatic text. Therefore, beyond the theoretical and bibliographical references, the following materials will be used: the interview with the artist, the experience of participant observation in the Dramaturgy Dance of the Orishas Seminar in Salvador and the videographic material from the spectacle Orô de Otelo (1994).

Por quase duas décadas, o artista buscou codificar os movimentos da dança dos orixás, prática presente no ritual do candomblé. Este trabalho disserta sobre a energia do orixá como impulso para a criação cênica a partir do discurso do artista. Assim, a dramaturgia era construída entre o movimento, que traz em si a mitologia e a relação do orixá com os elementos da natureza, e o texto dramático. Para tanto, além dos referencias teóricos e bibliográficos, serão utilizados os seguintes materiais: a entrevista feita com o artista, a experiência de observação participante no Seminário da Dramaturgia da Dança dos Orixás em Salvador e o material videográfico do espetáculo Orô de Otelo (1994).

Abstract:
Fundação Araucária de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico do Paraná
Investigações etnográficas imergidas no contexto do Terceiro Mundo exploraram diferentes e diversas práticas de pensar, irmanar, experimentar e codificar dimensões biológicas e naturais. Entre os diversos agregados sociais que se mobilizam no mundo por meio de racionalidades contra-hegemônicas, os cultos afro-brasileiros foram anunciados como religiosidades múltiplas, de grande importância ecológica e revestidos de conexões com os mais diversos e contraditórios actantes do cosmo, que resistem no Terceiro Mundo, com suas subjetividades descolonizadoras que se multiplicam em cada local de culto. Nesta conjuntura, esta pesquisa foi efetuada junto ao Centro Espírita de Umbanda Abaça de Oxalá, tendo por objetivo analisar a rede que se conforma nas inter-relações entre seres humanos/divindades/natureza. A Teoria Ator-Rede tal como apresentada por Latour (1994; 2004; 2012) forneceu ferramentas para que uma etnografia adequada à realidade deste terreiro fosse elaborada, expandindo o número de atores ocultos que se relacionam, agem e falam. Assim, durante o período de 19 meses a pesquisa foi operacionalizada por mediação da técnica Observação Participante, a partir de anotações no diário de campo, fotografias, transcrições de entrevistas e desenhos. A forma dos registros se desenvolveram na análise documental, através das anotações no próprio material analisado, objetivando engendrar um relato Ator-Rede para desdobrar um maior número de atores, mediadores e controvérsias que se conectam às práticas associadas as relações entre seres humanos/divindades/natureza no Abaça de Oxalá. Os humanos que configuram o local são caracterizados pelo pai-de-santo, filhos-de-corrente e clientes, que tecem relações com os Orixás em diferentes estratos e níveis de comprometimento com as normativas locais, almejando favores espirituais a partir de suas motivações subjetivas, as quais incluem as esferas da saudabilidade, das questões afetivos-familiares, da prosperidade financeira e desenvolvimento espiritual (no caso dos filhos-de-corrente). Os favores dos Orixás são logrados a partir de um rico e complexo regime de permutas, que permite agenciar lugares da natureza (pontos-de-força), elementos naturais (vegetação, minerais), alimentos, fogo, água, e múltiplos elementos que são relativos à subjetividade de cada humano conectado na rede, que emergem na forma de oferendas, chás medicinais, banhos de ervas, defumações, etc. Estas permutas são subsidiadas por um arcabouço de conhecimentos sobre suas naturezas, especificidades, associações e ações. Estes saberes são indissociáveis dos fazeres, e sua fonte primordial são os Orixás. A partir destes saberes foi possível identificar um total de 159 entidades espirituais mobilizadas nos discursos e atividades do terreiro e 140 vegetais empregados para as mais diversas finalidades que os humanos necessitam. O processamento das atividades ritualísticas no contexto religioso afro-brasileiro remete a uma realidade complexa, engendrada pelas profundas intersecções entre as esferas do mundo social, sobrenatural e natural. O conceito êmico de energia se mostra substancial para que tais conexões emerjam e ajam no cotidiano do terreiro, pois o Orixá é energia e se conecta com a energia dos humanos e da natureza para que transformações no mundo real sejam engendradas.
Ethnographic research immersed in the context of the Third World explored different and diverse practices of thinking, brotherhood, experimenting and codifying biological and natural dimensions. Among the various social aggregates mobilized around the world through counter-hegemonic rationalities, Afro-Brazilian cults were announced as multiple religiosities of great ecological importance and with connections with the most diverse and contradictory actants of the cosmos. They resist in the Third World, with its decolonizing subjectivities that multiply in each place of worship. At this juncture, this research was carried out with the Spiritist Center of Umbanda Abaça de Oxalá, aiming to analyze the network that is formed in the interrelations between humans / divinities / nature. The Actor-Network Theory as presented by Latour (1994, 2004, 2012) provided tools for an ethnography appropriate to the reality of this terreiro to be elaborated, expanding the number of hidden actors who relate, act and speak. Thus, during the 19 month period, the research was operationalized by means of the Participatory Observer technique, based on field diary annotations, photographs, transcripts of interviews and drawings. The form of the records was developed in the documentary analysis, through the annotations in the material analyzed. The aiming was to generate an actor-network account to unfold a greater number of actors, mediators and controversies that connect to the practices associated with the relations between human /divinities / nature in the Abaca de Oxalá. The humans that make up the place are characterized by the “pai de santo”, “filhos de corrente” and clients. They interact with the Orixás in different strata and levels of commitment to local norms, seeking spiritual favors from their subjective motivations, which include the spheres of health, affective-family issues, financial prosperity and spiritual development (in the case of filhos de corrente). The favors of the Orixás are obtained from a rich and complex regime of exchanges, which allows to place places of nature (points of force), natural elements (vegetation, minerals), food, fire, water, and multiple elements that are relative to the subjectivity of each human connected in the net, that emerge in the form of offerings, medicinal teas, herbal baths, smokes, etc. These exchanges are subsidized by a framework of knowledge about their natures, specificities, associations and actions. These knowledges are inseparable from doings, and their primary source is the Orixas. From these knowledge, it was possible to identify a total of 159 spiritual entities mobilized in the discourses and activities of the terreiro and 140 vegetables used for the most diverse purposes that humans need. The processing of ritualistic activities in the Afro-Brazilian religious context, refers to a complex reality engendered by the deep intersections between the spheres of the social, supernatural and natural world. The emic concept of energy proves substantial for such connections to emerge and act in the daily life of the terreiro, because the Orixá is energy and connects with the energy of humans and nature so that transformations in the real world are engendered.

Abstract:
Royal endowments to Brahmanas have been interpreted either as a factor of political integration or disintegration in Indian history. Through the first thorough presentation and analysis of the epigraphic data from Orissa, this study argues that the period 300-1147 C.E. was one of intensive state formation and political development in which royal grants played an important integrative role. During this period, Brahmanas, many of whom were ritual specialists associated with the Yajur Veda, emerged as land-holders endowed by royal decree with privileged control over land. Despite the consistent appearance of sectarian affiliations in the royal inscriptions, temples did not benefit from royal patronage on a comparable scale. Until the close of the period under review, it was the gift of land to Brahmanas, not the royally-endowed temple establishment, that was a major basis of royal legitimation and political integration in Orissa.

Abstract:
Martin Tsang was born in southeast England to Chinese and Swiss parents. Having attended Spiritualism sessions from a young age, he became progressively interested in world religions. After learning about the orishas through a television program on the renovation of the Oshún Grove in Oshogbo, Nigeria, something about the goddess piqued his interest. In 1995, after unsuccessfully trying to find orisha practitioners in the UK, Martin started searching further abroad and contacted an ilé or Lucumí orisha house in Michigan. In 1997, he traveled to the US at the age of 17 to seek induction in the religion. He continued to visit several times a year to learn with his orisha god family and become initiated as a priest of Yemayá in 2001. In 2008 Martin relocated to Miami and completed a doctorate in anthropology on Chinese influence in Afro-Cuban religions.
