Resumo

Ensaio baseado na minha apresentação na 7ª Conferência Bienal da AASR na África: Religião, Sexualidade e Identidade na África e na Diáspora Africana. Universidade de Gana em Legon, Acra, de 26 a 29 de julho de 2016. Ele explora o significado cultural e espiritual da sexualidade na visão da filosofia tradicional africana, com vista aos debates atuais em sociedades "ocidentais" e africanas. Ele explora ressonâncias com motivos do pensamento filosófico e antropológico europeu (e euro-descendente), como base para uma compreensão mútua aprofundada e troca.
