beads, creolization, Central African values, aesthetic conceptionsAbstract
Through the comparison of glass beads found at two enslaved sites, the slave quarters of the Jesuit College of Campos dos Goytacazes and the Valongo Wharf, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, I seek to understand how Africans and their descendants incorporated these items into the construction of their identities and aesthetic conceptions, based on theories regarding cultural transformations, especially concerning the process of creolization. To support the interpretations, I consider, based on various sources, the flow of values and cosmologies between Central Africa and Brazil.
