Abstract

KOSBY, Marília Floôr. Trails of blood and honey: pilgrim draft of a black cosmos-ecology in southern Brazil. Etnográfica [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, pp.379-403.  Epub Nov 25, 2021. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.9782.

When following goats raised in a rural black community from the extreme south of Brazil to houses of Afro-brazilian religion in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, this article intends to be a peregrine narrative (Ingold 2015) from a perspective of counter-identity (Anjos 2006) of the trails and zones of passage in which quilombos and terreiros create common cosmoecologies. In the intertwining of concrete multiplicities there is the sharing of what can be called a black cosmoecology, interlinking mutual transformations between different ways of being black in the world. The notion of cosmoecology is emphasized, in which are gathered cosmology and ecology, and the intertwined paths and destinies of humans, gods, goats, herbs, terreiros and quilombos (Despret 2016).

Keywords : quilombos; Afro-Brazilian religions; human-animal relations; cosmos-ecology.
