BODY-TERRITORY, DRAWING AND AFRO-BRAZILIAN LANDSCAPE: can a black body to draw landscapes?CUERPO-TERRITORIO, DIBUJO Y PAISAJE AFRO-BRASILEÑO: ¿puede un cuerpo negro dibujar paisajes?A tessitura do presente artigo resulta de um estudo sobre o Afoxé Pomba de Malê, bem como o bairro da Rua Nova no município de Feira de Santana, Bahia. A partir do conceito de corpo-território (MIRANDA, 2014; 2016), propomos compreender de que forma os corpos negros dos membros do Afoxé em voga conseguem desenhar no desfile momesco as paisagens com repertórios simbólicos da cultura afrobrasileira. Para tal, recorremos as encruzilhadas metodológicas entre a História Oral (AMADO, 2006) e a Hermenêutica da Visualidade (PORTO ALEGRE, 1998; JOHN COLLIER JR., 1973) com a prerrogativa de investigar tais aspectos com o olhar geográfico. Ao passo de provocar: pode um corpo negro desenhar paisagens? Para tal, a nossa concepção de paisagem visa estabelecer diálogos com o visível, bem como o campo da percepção (SANTOS, 1996).Palavras-chave: Corpo-território; Desenho; Paisagem.ABSTRACTThe text of this article is the result of a study on the Afoe Pomba de Malê, as well as the neighborhood of Rua Nova in the municipality of Feira de Santana, Bahia. From the concept of body-territory (MIRANDA, 2014, 2016), we propose to understand how the black bodies of the Afoxé members in vogue manage to draw in the momesco parade the landscapes with symbolic repertoires of Afro-Brazilian culture. To that end, we used the methodological crossroads between Oral History (AMADO, 2006) and the Hermeneutics of Visuality (PORTO ALEGRE, 1998; JOHN COLLIER JR., 1973) with the prerogative to investigate such aspects with a geographical view. To the point of provoking: can a black body draw landscapes? For this, our conception of landscape aims to establish dialogues with the visible, as well as the field of perception (SANTOS, 1996).Keywords: Body-territory; Drawing; Landscape.RESUMENLa tesitura del presente artículo resulta de un estudio sobre el Afoxé Pomba de Malé, así como el barrio de Rua Nova en el municipio de Feira de Santana, Bahia.

RESUMOO objetivo do trabalho é inscrever os enfrentamentos para implementação de um projeto interdisciplinar em escola pública periférica, sobre a cultura afro-brasileira. Justifica-se a partir de evidências cotidianas e estatísticas onde os sujeitos negros são “invisibilizados” nas narrativas que compõem a identidade nacional brasileira. Pelas narrativas das professoras envolvidas no projeto, buscou-se problematizar, contextualizar e refletir a partir de bibliografia majoritariamente negra, as crises e dramas do cotidiano escolar específicos ao recorte racial. Considera-se que professoras e professores necessitam fazer voz para que a prática de enaltecer a pluralidade de existências e a luta do povo negro no Brasil ocorra não apenas em datas específicas, mas ao longo de todo o ano letivo.Consciência negra.

It is justified based on daily evidence and statistics where black people are “invisible” in the narratives that make up the Brazilian national identity. Through the narratives of the teachers involved in the project, we sought to problematize, contextualize, and reflect from a mostly black bibliography, such as crises and dramas of the school routine specifics to the racial profile. It is considered that qualified teachers need to make a voice so that the practice of extolling the plurality of existences and the struggle of the black people in Brazil occurs not only on specific dates, but throughout the school year.Black awareness.

Attraverso le narrazioni dei docenti coinvolti nel progetto si è cercato di problematizzare, contestualizzare e riflettere da una bibliografia prevalentemente nera, le crisi e i drammi della routine scolastica tipica del profilo razziale. Si ritiene che gli insegnanti e le insegnanti debbano farsi una voce in modo che la pratica di esaltare la pluralità delle esistenze e la lotta dei neri in Brasile avvenga non solo in date specifiche, ma durante l'intero anno scolastico.Coscienza nera.

Rubem Valentim was born in 1922 in Salvador in the state of Bahia. A self-taught artist, Valentim starts his career in the 1940s acting alongside artists like Mario Cravo Júnior and others in effervescent new artistic milieu of the state of Brahia. As art historian Roberto Conduru has noted, Valentim, similarly to other artists working in the 1940s and 1950s in Latin America, responded to Joaquín Torres-García’s Universalimso Constructivo. Nevertheless, Valentim also learned from artists such as Alfredo Volpi and Milton Dacosta carrying their geometric stylistic principles into his own symbolic world heavily influenced by Afro-Brazilian religions. From the 1960s onwards, besides small-scale objects and paintings, Valentim also began working in large-scale murals, installations, and public art pieces, the most famous being his marble mural for the NOVACAP building in Brasília. Valentim found a common thread between the modernist rationality of Constructivism and the geometric lines of Afro-Brazilian visual culture. His work manifested local values and themes, while acting in the process of building a Brazilian national identity, and also figuring into the universal debates central to modernism. Paulo Herkenhoff points to how the double axe of Xangô, a recurrent theme in Valentim’s work with its double edge blade acts as a metaphor for the artist’s endeavor, working between Constructivism and Afro-Brazilian mythology. Valentim has become an exponent of Brazilian art and is especially praised for shedding light into the visual world of Afro-Brazilian religions. He showed at the now iconic 1966 World Festival of Negro Arts in Dakar, Senegal and at the 16ª Bienal Internacional de São Paulo and in 1977. In 1998, the Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia (MAM-BA) inaugurated a special room in his sculpture garden in the artist’s name.

For nearly a decade, Brazil has surpassed Thailand as the world's premier sex tourism destination. As the first full-length ethnography of sex tourism in Brazil, this pioneering study treats sex tourism as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that involves a range of activities and erotic connections, from sex work to romantic transnational relationships. The book explores sex tourism in the Brazilian state of Bahia from the perspectives of foreign tourists, tourism industry workers, sex workers who engage in liaisons with foreigners, and Afro-Brazilian men and women who contend with foreigners' stereotypical assumptions about their licentiousness. The book argues that the cultural and sexual economies of tourism are inextricably linked in the Bahian capital city of Salvador. It shows how the Bahian state strategically exploits the touristic desire for exotic culture by appropriating an eroticized blackness and commodifying the Afro-Brazilian culture in order to sell Bahia to foreign travelers. The book combines historical, sociological, anthropological, cultural studies, and feminist perspectives to demonstrate how sexism, racism, and socioeconomic inequality interact in the context of tourism in Bahia.
