Resumo

No pano de fundo do interesse ressurgido em ‘locais de poder’, em ambos os lados do Atlântico, este ensaio apresenta uma característica as vezes marginalizada em suas teorias: 'agência'. Entende-se que é necessário o reconhecimento da relação entre 'topografia' e 'agência', para compreender a dinâmica de tais locais, como experientes e codificados em culturas e religiões. Este ensaio foca nos ‘locais da água’ como arquétipos importantes das culturas e religiões da Diáspora Africana e Brasileira Bantu. No pressuposto de antigas conexões formativas do Bantu com as culturas afro-asiáticas, às quais o hebraico pertence, relatórios e conceitos correspondentes da Bíblia são incluídos nesta análise, divulgando características sistematicamente interessantes nesta matriz, através da ‘Arqueologia da Cultura’.
