Resumo
Los estudios acerca de las comunidades afrodescendentes
em el Caribe, América del Sur e Brasil han revelado, em las
últimas décadas, un constante proceso de re-signifi cación de
los términos quilombo y palenque, dada la inmensa variedad
de sus categorías organizacionales, su relación con la sociedad
envolvente, con el territorio, sus procesos de etnogénesis e su
composición interétnica. Así, tomando por base investigaciones
recientes realizadas em los estados de Marañón y de Piauí, entre
comunidades afrodescendentes rurales, este estudo cuestiona
algunos marcos metodológicos y tipológicos que amparan
los relatorios y laudos antropológicos de reconocimiento y
delimitación de territorio palenque, sobre todo en Brasil donde,
debido a la naturaleza intencionalmente móvil de los parámetros
defi nidores, produce diagnósticos ora muito extensos, ora
restrictos.
In recent decades studies on communities of African descent in the Caribbean, South America and Brazil have revealed a constant process of resemantization of the terms maroon and palenques, given the immense variety of its organizational categories, their relationship with the surrounding society and with the territory, their processes of ethnogenesis and interethnic composition. Thus, based on recent researches between rural communities of African descent in the states of Maranhão and Piauí, this study questions some methodological and typological frameworks which support anthropological reports of recognition and delimitation of maroon’s territory, especially in Brazil where due to the purposely mobile nature of the defi ning parameters, diagnoses are produced which are sometimes very extensive, sometimes restrictive.
