Abstract

This dissertation seeks to comprehend the meanings and re-significations of child care among the Guarani Mbya from Rio Grande do Sul. To this end, a ethnographic research was conducted (participant observation with production of field diary) with both adults and children. The analysis reveals that the practices of child care shapes and are shaped by the mbya conception about childhood. Among the Mbya, care permeates the exchange relations, in this sense the children are the fundamental social actors to the establishment of care as forming and unifying bond of the society. With this, the Mbya teach us the revaluation of care as a social life foundation (AU)
