Relação dos indivíduos com marrumbini: um estudo a partir de um grupo de naturais de Malehisse, residentes no Bairro de Maxaquene A

Abstract

The study analyzes the relationship of marrumbini individuals from the natural families of the Malehiusse, residing in the neighborhood of Maxaquene “A”, in the City of Maputo. Two approaches mark the debate on the relationship of individuals with space, one analyzes the relationship as conflict in which Man intervenes in Nature, without worrying about its conservation and preservation. Another peaceful approach that argues that to use and enjoy space is I need to make an alliance with them. The approach of the conflictual relationship excludes the possibility that in these contexts there are people who conserve and value space and ancestors, and that of the fraternal relationship, excludes the possibility of conflict between man and nature, as if people live fully satisfied and in peaceful coexistence with Nature and ancestors. Through direct observation, semi-structured interviews and informal collective conversations and individuals I noticed that people during colonial times and a little later, moved from the areas of origin to Maputo and South Africa, the two groups fixing houses in Maputo, but living with the imaginary of returning to marrumbini. Alive, sick or dead, with hope of obtaining peace, prosperity, wealth and perpetuating their identity. The decision to returning to marrumbini is determined by ancestors of the same lineage and ancestors charras. Unlike what the studies reveal, when conceiving the conflictual relationship and peaceful relationship with the ancestors who defend that to use and enjoy the space it is necessary to make a alliance with them. The peaceful relationship as ways of relating between people and the space that occur in different contexts, the context of the present research will show that these two ways occur in the same context, the same social group and the same family. In the peaceful relationship cases of “conflict” occur between people and space when they stop following or invoke ancestors whenever necessary. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
