- Afro-Brazilian religions and audiovisual narratives in Amazonia. Research tools Daniela Cordovil Antropología Afro video cinema Tambor de Mina Brazilian religions This text discusses the use of audiovisual resources like cinema and video by Afro-Brazilian Religions practioners in two ethnographical contexts of Amazonia, namely the urban areas of Cururupu and Belém. In Cururupu, the production of amateur videos commissioned in a local audiovisual store serves as a source of self-recognition and enables the discussion and continu-ous experience of the rituals. In Belém, a documentary film on the cosmovi-sion of Tambor de Mina, the most widely practiced Afro-Brazilian religion in the city, was made through a partnership between a father of saint (afro-brazilian religion priest) and a filmmaker using federal government funding. Setting out from these ethnographic examples, I explore how audiovisual re-sources are employed by a religious tradition whose reproduction is based on a centuries-old orality. The text points to the advantages and potential uses of these kinds of audiovisual narratives by anthropologists as a means of access to native cultures. 2012 artículo científico 1809-4341 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406941914018 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4069 VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Antropologia VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.9
