The Sixth of the Month invites everyone to the November themed table!

Theme: The enchantment of the mina drum in São Paulo

The mina drum is an Afro-Brazilian religion prevalent in the states of Pará and Maranhão, arriving in São Paulo around the 1970s by the Pará native Francelino de Xapanã, who brought with him several cultural elements that were very present in the realities of Pará and Maranhão, which were adapted to the capital of São Paulo through this migratory movement. With voduns and orixás as the entities worshipped, the mina drum also brings a category known as “enchanted”, those who do not go through the process of death, become “enchanted” and inhabit the “enchantments”. To discuss this universe of Minas Gerais, we will bring three priests, sons of Pai Francelino, to discuss these elements.

The Anthropological Editathon aims to hold a two-day workshop on learning how to create and edit Wikipedia entries. The first meeting (November 6) will focus on presenting Wikipedia and its potential, and we will make the first edit on the platform. In the second meeting (November 7), we will hold an editing marathon with anthropological themes. Special attention will be given to authors who do not yet have entries, taking into account geographic location, race, gender, sexuality, and other social markers of difference.
Our meetings will take place via Google Meet. No previous experience with the Wikipedia platform is necessary! Anyone can participate.
The course is based on Wikimedia's Friendly Space Policies and aims to create a welcoming space for everyone, without distinction. Any form of harassment is not tolerated. For more information: https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policies/pt-br
