Abstract(s)
O estudo dos amuletos – objetos com um carácter apotropaico, ou seja, de proteção física e espiritual –, que
possuem, por exemplo, o poder de evitar doenças, malefícios ou desgraças, e das superstições a eles associadas,
contempla uma parte importante da vida das comunidades: as suas crenças e tradições, que refletem a forma
como as pessoas se relacionam com o universo que as rodeia, com a sua interpretação do mundo em que vivem,
com as suas práticas do quotidiano. O objetivo deste trabalho passa por tentar conhecer os amuletos elaborados
a partir de corais (vermelhos) que se encontram associados às tradições e aos costumes das comunidades portuguesas, durante as épocas moderna e contemporânea.
