Abstract

This study reports on the initial reflections of doctoral research in Geography at Rio de Janeiro State University. The thesis, based on militant perspectives for epistemic rescues, is authored by an Afro-indigenous researcher who observes the rural municipality of Maricá-RJ. Maricá, a word of Tupi-Guarani origin, declared in 2017 Cidade da Capoeira (City of Capoeira) by the City Council as part of a series of actions in favor of Afro-Brazilian culture, has Afro-Indian structural origins. However, according to the official website, its history is essentially colonial. This work focuses on the city's official tourist route and its approach to local culture. It looks at the sites chosen as representative and therefore listed for visitation on the portal. It also identifies the historical and cultural markers of these spaces in terms of their origins and meanings. The city, despite its post-colonial history and the efforts of the Culture Department to maintain the relationship between inhabitants and the natural environment in harmony, based on an agro-ecological culture, for example, this year carried out the municipality's first Cultural Census; however, its official tourism itinerary makes no mention of the indigenous ethnic groups, African peoples and Afro-Brazilian personalities who lived here and played a leading role in the construction of many of the spaces chosen as tourist attractions and whose values guide the maintenance of the city's natural spaces and planting, harvesting and eating habits. It is essential that the Secretariats of Culture, Human Rights and Tourism work together to restructure the text that presents the city on the official website.
