| Abstract | |
The bibliography has mentioned the ritxo(k)o since the first expedition which took place in Araguaia in 1887. From this time forward, the researchers chose to translate it as karaja doll and suggest its place as a childrens toy. The present research aim to discuss this translation, based on the relation networks in which ritxo(k)o participates and produce. I will demonstrate that the ritxo(k)o participates in relation networks between kin and at the same time is constitutive of some of this relations, especially those between grandmother and granddaughter. Also, I will remark its important place among the relations with the tori (nonindigenous). I talk about kinship as a process that produces kin-bodies. This approach requires not only an exploration of the production process of kin relations, but of the body that is constituted in this process as well. I will suggest that this body is produced through process that resemble those used to produce objects. In the conclusion, I will present a discussion about the matter of toys among the Amerindians.
