RESUMO

The present work focuses on the practice of communication in the Catholic missions of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit located in the Central Highlands of Angola, territory of the Ovimbundu, from mid-19th century to pre-Liberation War 20th century. Its empirical material consists basically of translations of oral genres from Umbundu into Portuguese (proverbs, tales, conundrums) and Catholic doctrinal material (catechisms, liturgies) from Portuguese into Umbundu. Based on these registers, an attempt is made to grasp the process of symbolic struggle between the various agents involved in the missionary context in order to understand the meaning convention arising from this relationship
