| description | This article aims to make an approximation between the concept of Bem Viverand Afro-Brazilian religious practices. The question that guides reflection is: can Afro-Brazilian religions, a direct result of colonialism, be interpreted under the esthological basis of Bem Viver and as an alternative to development? Through a bibliographic review, some aspects of these religions were highlighted, such as the relationship between Afro-Brazilian religions and Nature, with the Orixás elements of Nature being divinized; its ethics of transformation and circulation, manifested above all through the preparation, circulation and distribution of food; the relationship of these religions with the property where the cults take place -the terreiros, which are social and common spaces, even called "the saint's house", indicating that the property there is of the divinity and not of human beings; besides ancestry, conviviality and reciprocity present in the terreiros. Despite the fact that Afro-Brazilian religious practices are forms of resistance and point to other possibilities of life that come close to Bem Viver, the absence of an explicit economic proposal for development and capitalism in these religions is highlighted. |

Castanha, Taísa Domiciano Afro-brazilian religions bem viver terreiros religiões afro-brasileiras This article aims to make an approximation between the concept of Bem Viverand Afro-Brazilian religious practices. The question that guides reflection is: can Afro-Brazilian religions, a direct result of colonialism, be interpreted under the esthological basis of Bem Viver and as an alternative to development? Through a bibliographic review, some aspects of these religions were highlighted, such as the relationship between Afro-Brazilian religions and Nature, with the Orixás elements of Nature being divinized; its ethics of transformation and circulation, manifested above all through the preparation, circulation and distribution of food; the relationship of these religions with the property where the cults take place -the terreiros, which are social and common spaces, even called "the saint's house", indicating that the property there is of the divinity and not of human beings; besides ancestry, conviviality and reciprocity present in the terreiros. Despite the fact that Afro-Brazilian religious practices are forms of resistance and point to other possibilities of life that come close to Bem Viver, the absence of an explicit economic proposal for development and capitalism in these religions is highlighted. Este artigo visa fazer uma aproximação entre o conceito de Bem Viver e as práticas religiosas afro-brasileiras. A pergunta que guia a reflexão é a seguinte: as religiões afro-brasileiras, fruto direto do colonialismo, podem ser interpretadas sob as bases epistemológicas do Bem Viver e como uma alternativa ao desenvolvimento? Através de uma revisão bibliográfica, alguns aspectos dessas religiões foram destacados, como a relação das religiões afro-brasileiras com a Natureza, sendo os Orixás elementos da Natureza divinizados; sua ética da transformação e circulação, manifesta sobretudo através do preparo, circulação e distribuição da comida; a relação dessas religiões com a propriedade onde acontecem os cultos – os terreiros, que são espaços sociais e comuns, chamados inclusive de “casa de santo”, indicando que a propriedade aí é da divindade e não dos seres humanos; além da ancestralidade, da convivencialidade e da reciprocidade presente nos terreiros. Não obstante as práticas religiosas afro-brasileiras serem formas de resistência e apontarem a outras possibilidades de vida que se aproximam ao Bem Viver, ressalta-se a ausência de uma proposta econômica explícita ao desenvolvimento e ao capitalismo nessas religiões.
