This article explores the traces of maritime connections across the Indian Ocean in the island of Diu, a Portuguese territory on the Gujarat coast until 1961 with historic privileged contacts with Mozambique. An investigation of the existing heritage materialities is intersected with an ethnographic study of life stories from the Vanza community, once dedicated to weaving. Following other local social groups, the Vanza started migrating to Mozambique at the turn of the twentieth century. The ethnographic findings suggest that crossing different layers of heritages and remains that these circulations left in Diu with life narratives draws us to alternative cartographies of the Indian Ocean world and to a constellation of experiences and sensory worlds that constitute this region.

超越界限：迪乌的地方、叙事和海上巡回演出

本文探讨了迪乌岛横跨印度洋的海上联系痕迹，迪乌岛是古吉拉特邦海岸的葡萄牙领土，直到 1961 年才与莫桑比克进行了历史性的特权接触。对现有遗产物质的调查与对曾经致力于编织的 Vanza 社区生活故事的民族志研究相结合。跟随其他当地社会群体，万扎人在二十世纪之交开始迁移到莫桑比克。民族志研究结果表明，跨越不同层次的遗产和遗迹，这些在 Diu 留下的带有生活叙事的循环将我们吸引到印度洋世界的替代制图以及构成该地区的经验和感官世界的星座。
