| Abstract | |
This thesis presents an ethnography of krahô sociocosmology focused on the analysis and translation of some of the different modalities of verbal arts known and practiced by this Amerindian people (speaker of a Jê language, inhabitant of the cerrado fields of central Brazil). The investigation of the regimes of creation, circulation, enunciation and fruition of a broad verbal corpus composed of mythical and personal narratives, public exhortations, ceremonial dialogues and ritual chants allowed me to examine, on the one hand, the different ways in which the Krahô seek to produce and establish links with their ancestors and, on the other hand, some of the concepts and images, dilemmas and purposes shared by these different forms of knowledge and that make them expressions of a broader discursive and poetic thought, for whose understanding this thesis intends to collaborate. I suggest, in general lines, that this thought is dedicated to elaborate and develop a constant reflection on the processes of memory and forgetfulness involved in the transmission of such knowledges, and that these processes and knowledges are fundamental for the (re)production of beautiful, joyful and singular persons and collectives (AU) | |
