Symbolism and cognition in the Christian Nubian and Ethiopian inconography
Tania TribeSchool of Oriental and African Studies,
University of London
Auditório B 103, ISCTE-IUL
Tania Tribe lectures in the Department of Art and Archaeology, School of Oriental and African Studies – SOAS, University of London, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. She has a particular interest in approaching questions of epistemology and interpretation from a multi-disciplinary perspective, and in examining the relationship between ethics and aesthetics. Her current research focuses on the visual culture of Christianity in Northeastern Africa, particularly the role of imagery in the formation of Solomonic rulership in Ethiopia (13th-16th centuries). She has published numerous articles on this topic, and is finalizing a book dealing comparatively with the visual culture of Egypt, Old Nubia and Ethiopia (2nd-18th century). She also works with the visual culture of the African Diaspora in the Americas, and publishes in this field.

Repensando a noção de antepassado: morte e migração guineense entre dois territórios

A partir do texto de Kopytoff “Ancestors as elders in Africa”, nesta comunicação pretende-se olhar como os rituais funerários dos guineenses em Lisboa se realizam, e quais os significados mais fundos da relação com o tchon original. Como se pensa a noção de antepassado fora do espaço original de culto? Fará sentido falar de antepassado da mesma forma quando o corpo é sepultado em Portugal?
