description This paper results from the collective effort by a Brazilian anthropologist and a Mozambican historian to analyze aspects of Ilha de Moçambique’s materiality. We will focus on two “objects”, one in architecture realm, the macuti, the other within the realm of clothing, the capulana, in order to present their social relevance and some of the multiple forms of use and meanings attached to them. After approaching and comparing them, we will look to a specific situation where both capulana and macuti are essential: the funeral rites.

Este texto é um esforço conjunto por parte de uma antropóloga brasileira e um historiador moçambicano de pensar elementos da materialidade que constituem e caracterizam a Ilha de Moçambique. Abordaremos dois “objetos”, um na esfera da arquitetura, o macuti, e outro na esfera do vestuário, a capulana, apresentando sua relevância social e algumas das múltiplas formas de uso e significados que lhes são associados. Após esse exercício de comparação e aproximação, voltaremos nossa atenção a uma situação onde esses dois elementos revelam-se fundamentais: os ritos funerários. 2018-07-06 2022-03-18T19:27:53Z 2022-03-18T19:27:53Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/cadernos/article/view/10502 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/65395 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/cadernos/article/view/10502/7423 Copyright (c) 2018 Compartilhado Autor e Revista application/pdf Faculdade de Ciências e Letras - Unesp - Araraquara.
