Abstract

Abstract This article discusses the origin of quijila/kijila in Central West African culture, more particularly in the cultural universe of the Imbangala (Jaga) and the Ambundu and Kimbundu populations who lived in the Portuguese regions of Angola and the Congo in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Following this, it investigates how the concept of quijila was structured, comprehended, and transformed, both in Africa, where it was basically a food prohibition, but whose applications and meanings varied; and in Brazil, to where it was transported in the 1700s, and where it transformed into a disease which attacked blacks, especially Africans of various origins, being framed as such in the Hippocratic-Galen universe characteristic of that time.
非洲人的疾病,一种非洲疾病:在17和18世纪,在西非中部和巴西的米纳斯吉拉斯州,基吉拉的转变
本文讨论了quijila/kijila在中非文化中的起源,特别是在17世纪和18世纪生活在安哥拉和刚果葡萄牙地区的Imbangala (Jaga)和Ambundu和Kimbundu人口的文化世界中。在此之后,它调查了quijila的概念是如何被构建、理解和转变的,在非洲,它基本上是一种食物禁令,但其应用和含义各不相同;在巴西,它在18世纪被传播到那里,在那里它变成了一种疾病,攻击黑人,特别是各种血统的非洲人,在希波克拉底-盖伦的宇宙中被框定为当时的特征。
