- English abstract
- Based on reflections given by quilombolas from the Erepecuru River (Brazil), I explore the analytical potential of an 'ontographic method’ to think about acts of remembering and forgetting ancestral accounts. I consider the importance that Erepecuru quilombolas attribute to forgetting about ancestral arrival. In this way, I describe how the need to forget and the care inherent in the act of remembering are related to the power of words to mobilize forces and feelings, healings and diseases into the person, and so how language and experience are intimately related.
