Fusão ritualesca: simultaneidade de rituais de aflição e de iniciação entre um grupo de mulheres na Cidade de Maputo

Abstract

This report examines the relationship between initiation rituals and affliction rituals. From the sequence of these two rituals, it has been presented as something that occurs at different times in an individual's life. Where first the initiation rituals would be carried out, for the transition from the category of child to adult and from inactive to sexual active. Afterwards, the rituals of affliction were carried out, to solve the problems or problems that the adult can go through. in the course of your life. If, on the one hand, the sequenced order of the ritual of initiation and distress helps to understand certain contexts, it becomes inadequate for other contexts. In this case, another context, based on data that I collected, that a group of women tries to start because they are afflicted, due to the problems they face with their husbands. What allows this work to consider as a hypothesis the possibility of the simultaneous occurrence of the affliction and initiation ritual. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
