Lugares do Catolicismo Negro na São Paulo do século XIX

abstract In the 19th century, during the peak of the presence of blacks in the city of São Paulo, four Brotherhoods of Black Men inserted themselves into the urban plan, demarcating the places where the excluded population could socialize and preserve their African references. The flow of black devotees in these and other churches would allow the establishment of territories of Black Catholicism in São Paulo, deemed as the genesis of black urban presence in this city. In addition to presenting these architectural landmarks and acknowledging them as sites of the religious scene of the 1800s, the exercise of identifying them from primary documents aims to reveal traces of a still-silenced urban history.

摘要：19世纪，在黑人群体于圣保罗市（São Paulo）的活动达到顶峰之时，四个黑人男性兄弟会融入城市规划框架，划定了受排斥群体能够开展社交活动并留存非洲文化印记的专属空间。这些教堂及其他相关宗教场所中黑人信徒的往来流动，推动了圣保罗市黑人天主教领地的形成，这被视作该城市黑人城市身份起源的标志性事件。本研究不仅呈现了这些建筑地标，并将其认定为19世纪宗教活动场景的重要遗存，同时通过从一手原始文献中对这些地标进行识别的研究工作，旨在揭示一段至今仍被湮没尘封的城市历史痕迹。
