Resumo
This study investigates how ancestral technologies and the festive dimension of life intertwine, constituting an aesthetic, political, and ancestral field capable of generating, in the subtleties of everyday life, new possibilities for Black existences. The research was conducted in dialogue with women-masters from different territories of Greater Vitória/ES, whose protagonism reaffirms life through a festive perspective. Prose was adopted as the methodological axis, enabling a sensitive and shared approach to these women-masters. This methodology articulated memory, orality, and image as central elements of the investigation. In this process, we engaged in listening to and telling stories, understanding orality as the foundation of memory and images as weavings that reinscribe the scenes (Batista; Bernardes; Menegon, 2014; Santos; Lage, 2019). These interlocutions allowed us to follow the inventions and reinventions of ancestral knowledge, including the poetics of play, popular engineering, food practices, and practices of healing and communality. The theoretical-conceptual framework involved a historical review of the traditional notion of festivity through samba, capoeira, and Congo, as well as the proposition of a festive dimension of life, understood not only as an organized event but also as a daily practice of invention and resistance that sustains the body in struggle. Furthermore, the study discusses ancestry, understood beyond the notion of “ancestor,” and the circularity of technologies in their processes of creation and transmission. Finally, it highlights the participation of women in the preservation, creation, and transmission of these knowledges to future generations.
