Abstract(s)
Esta dissertação teve por objetivo desenvolver um estudo aprofundado sobre as transformações
culturais e sociais em Angola, concretamente o caso do uso de trajes tradicionais em Lobito.
Assim, este estudo desenvolveu-se no município do Lobito, província de Benguela, num bairro
periférico da cidade do Lobito, na comunidade do bairro do Golfo. Este bairro foi escolhido
devido à diversidade cultural dos habitantes desta comunidade, provenientes de diversas regiões
do território angolano. Procurou-se investigar o significado do uso de trajes tradicionais na
comunidade, desde as tradições antigas até à atualidade, buscando causas e factores para o seu
uso bem como razões subjacentes para a transformação de hábitos e costumes culturais. A
abordagem desenvolvida equaciona o uso dos diversos trajes típicos tradicionais angolanos
usados nas diversas regiões de Angola como forma de expressão cultural e de afirmação
identitária e de cumprimento de rituais tradicionais. Por um lado, o uso de trajes tradicionais pode
ser entendido como moda, gostos individuais que fazem parte dos bens imateriais e da identidade
cultural local do povo de uma determinada região mas também, por outro lado, procurou-se
investigar se o uso de trajes tradicionais é um hábito conotado apenas com os mais velhos (homem e mulher), ou se é usado por todos, também de adolescentes e jovens e em que ocasiões
e locais são usados.
O traje tradicional sempre esteve presente na história do povo angolano, sendo usado para
identificar cada região de Angola. Este estudo consiste em identificar transformações culturais e
sociais na sociedade angolana com impacto nos modos de estar e de agir fundamentalmente no
que diz respeito na forma de vestir. Para responder a estas questões desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa
qualitativa, através de aplicação de entrevistas a 20 indivíduos do género masculino e feminino,
habitantes do bairro do Golfo no município do Lobito. Os principais resultados indicam que os
trajes tradicionais são usados com mais frequência em determinadas situações e ambientes
festivos mas ainda representam simbolicamente a origem do indivíduo e sua região de Angola e
são assumidos como um símbolo de pertença cultural.
The objective of this dissertation is to develop an in-depth study on the cultural and social transformations in Angola, concretely the case of the use of traditional costumes in Lobito. This study was carried out in the municipality of Lobito, Benguela province. This work was carried out in the peripheral neighborhood of the city of Lobito, in the community of the neighborhood of the Golfo. The neighborhood of the Golfo was chosen because of the cultural diversity of the inhabitants of this community, coming from different regions of the Angolan territory. We sought to investigate the meaning of the use of traditional costumes in the community, from ancient traditions to the present, seeking causes and factors for their use as well as the transformation of cultural habits and customs. The developed approach equates the use of the various typical traditional Angolan costumes used in the different regions of Angola as a form of cultural expression and of identity affirmation and fulfillment of traditional rituals. On the one hand, it can be understood as fashion, tastes that are part of the intangible goods and the local cultural identity of the people of a certain region, but also, on the other hand, it was tried to know if the use of traditional costumes is a habit connoted with the (male and female), or whether it is for use by all adolescents and young people and how they are used on different occasions or in certain traditional places. The traditional costume has always been present in the history of the Angolan people, being one used to identify from each region of Angola. This study consists of identifying cultural and social transformations in Angolan society with an impact on the ways of being and acting fundamentally in the way of dressing. To answer these questions a qualitative research was developed, through the application of interviews to 20 individuals male and female, inhabitants of the neighborhood of the Golfo in the municipality of Lobito. The main results indicate that traditional costumes are used more frequently in certain festive situations and environments but still represent symbolically the origin of the individual and his region of Angola and feelings of belonging.
