Anthropological Places in Mozambique in the Context of Political Conflict

Original language description

Soon aft er independence in Mozambique (1975), the country s toponymy changed with the aim of decolonizing the past. Th e article consists of a chapter of an ongoing thesis entitled &quot;Th e infl uence of ethnicities in political confl icts in African states: the case study of Mozambique (1976-2019)&quot;. Th e article aims to analyse the use of anthropological places in a context of political confl ict. Th ree research ques-tions were raised: How does the name of a place shape the behaviour of people living or visiting that place? How does the name transform a space into an anthropological place with a sacral meaning? How does political power use anthropological places? Preliminary results show that, during transformation of anthropological places, the new names have a meaning of local events and fi gures; there are some names with national impact. Th erefore, Anthropological places cannot be seen as a potential for confl ict emerging. However, the way politics uses public spaces is more propagandistic. Th erefore, it creates an environment of political parties&apos; divisions leading to political confl icts, in addition to other factors. Methodologically, the chapter is a result of a literature review. Th e study is important because it approaches confl ict beyond armed or political ones, but anthropologically.
