| Abstract | |
This dissertation aims to describe possible links between memory and politics, taking as its starting point the way people and their histories are circulating across the Upper Xingu indigenous territory. The ethnographic focus of the research is a small Kalapalo village where people from different collectivities of the karib language family live together. From the information available in the literature, the analysis of documented oral narratives related to them, and field work, this dissertation seeks to explain some particularities of the Xinguano discourse in the construction and expression of its own history. The description of (indigenous and ethnographic) experiences allows perceiving, on the one hand, how the production and circulation of people and discourses complement each other and, on the other hand, how histories about villages or other important places of the region are associated to different forms of memory (biographical, mythological, historical, etc.). It is also possible to highlight how these reports explain specific indigenous ways of conceiving the dynamic relationships that are linking or separating each of them with/from others and with the territory where they live (AU) | |
