A tábua Kambeba para achatar a cabeça e seus significados através do tempo, do espaço e das epistemologias
Full text linkThe ethnographic collection preserved at the Science Academy of Lisbon hosts a wide range of Amazonian objects. Among them we find a bamboo tablet belonging to the Kambeba people of the Upper Solimões region that was collected between 1783 and 1792 by Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira. It was used for cranial deformation, a practice that is being recovered by the Kambeba as a way to reinforce their ethnic identity. In this essay, we will focus on the different meanings that tablet have been holding according to the political, economic and cultural context, in particular as far as it concerns the perspective of the naturalist and that of the contemporary Kambeba.A coleção etnográfica preservada na Academia de Ciências de Lisboa abriga uma grande variedade de objetos amazônicos. Entre eles, encontramos uma tábua de bambu pertencente ao povo Kambeba, da região do Alto Solimões, que foi coletada entre 1783 e 1792 por Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira. Ela era usada para deformar o crânio, uma prática que está sendo reintroduzida pelos Kambeba como forma de reforçar sua identidade étnica. Neste artigo, vamos focar nos diferentes significados que a tábua tem tido de acordo com o contexto político, econômico e cultural, em particular no que diz respeito à perspectiva do naturalista e dos Kambeba contemporâneos
Oggetti tra oppressione e resistenza: l’esperienza kouli nei Caraibi francofoni
Full text linkThe abolition of slavery in the French colonies generates a new flow of migration from Asia. Several Indian migrants reach the coasts of the Antilles as contract laborers in the sugarcane fields. In the archipelago they suffer from the violence of European settlers who, through the imposition of Christian worship and the destruction of traditional elements of Indian culture, undertake a process of annihilating a centuries-old identity. However, the population manages to resist, reinventing itself, through the confluence of syncretistic elements.Con l’abolizione della schiavitù nelle colonie francesi assistiamo a un nuovo flusso migratorio proveniente dall’Asia. Numerosi migranti Indiani raggiungono le coste delle Antille come lavoratori contrattuali nei campi di canna da zucchero. Nell’arcipelago subiscono la violenza diretta dei coloni europei che attraverso l’imposizione del culto cristiano e la distruzione di elementi tradizionali della cultura indiana, avviano un processo di annientamento di un’identità secolare. La popolazione riesce tuttavia a resistere, reinventandosi, anche attraverso la confluenza di elementi sincretistici

Full text linkRéplicas entre Cuba y Nicaragua. Relaciones destotalizantes en la región
Full text linkI am interested in analyzing the replica as a condensing element of the encounter scene between Cuban and Nicaraguan artists. At the same time, I intend to understand artistic practices as producers of de-totalizing exchange relations. I argue that the replica, as a mimetic reproduction of the original, also includes the effects of the copied object, in this case, the capacity to produce de-totalizing relations. By this I mean the capacity to create alliances that defy the division of the population into enemies and militants, revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries, the logic that sustains the One Party.Me interesa analizar la réplica como elemento condensador de la escena de encuentro entre artista cubano y nicaragüense. A la vez me propongo comprender las prácticas artísticas como productoras de relaciones de intercambio destotalizantes. Argumento que la réplica, en tanto reproducción mimética del original, incluye también los efectos del objeto copiado, en este caso, la capacidad de producir relaciones destotalizantes. Me refiero a la capacidad de crear alianzas que desafíen la división de la población en enemigos y militantes, revolucionarios y contrarrevolucionarios, lógica que sostiene al Partido Único

Full text linkLas cosechas de la violencia en Centroamérica: una reflexión a forma de epílogo
Full text linkThis article discusses current expressions violence in Central America based on the foundational book “Harvest of Violence in Guatemala” edited by Robert M. Carmack in 1988, and the panel “Central America beyond post-conflict: making and unmaking contemporaneity” presented at the Europan Association of Social Anthropology in July of 2024. Placing both compilations of ethnographic work side by side, allows us to observe the violence continuum in the region and reflect on what the anthropological work can provide to a regional understanding of post-conflict societies.Este artículo aborda las expresiones actuales de la violencia en Centroamérica a partir del libro fundacional «Harvest of Violence in Guatemala» editado por Robert M. Carmack en 1988, y del panel «Centroamérica más allá del post-conflicto: haciendo y deshaciendo la contemporaneidad» presentado en la Asociación Europea de Antropología Social en julio de 2024. Colocar ambas compilaciones de trabajo etnográfico una al lado de la otra, nos permite observar el continuo de violencia en la región y reflexionar sobre lo que el trabajo antropológico puede aportar a una comprensión regional de las sociedades post-conflicto.This article discusses current expressions violence in Central America based on the foundational book “Harvest of Violence in Guatemala” edited by Robert M.

Full text linkPor uma geografia da subalternidade feminina: “Tanta gente, Mariana” de Maria Judite de Carvalho
Full text linkThe article focuses on Tanta gente, Mariana (1959) with the aim of analysing the ways in which the author, through the trajectories of the protagonists, contributes to designing a geography of subalternity feminine. Both the space and its inhabitants are mirrors of a hostile context that confines these women inexorably out of place. The eponymous novel and “A Menina Arminda”, in particular, provide a reflection on the deaf revolt of all those women who, escaping the pre-established paths, refuse to conform to the roles of wives, mothers and good housewives.O artigo centra-se na obra Tanta gente, Mariana (1959) com o intuito de analisar as maneiras com que a autora, através das trajetórias das protagonistas, contribui a desenhar uma geografia da subalternidade feminina. Tanto o espaço quanto os seus habitantes são espelhos de um contexto hostil que confina inexoravelmente estas mulheres fora do lugar. A novela epónima e “A menina Arminda”, nomeadamente, proporcionam uma reflexão sobre a revolta surda de todas aquelas mulheres que, escapando aos caminhos preestabelecidos, recusam se conformar ao papel de esposas, mães e boas donas de casa
La educación italiana en La Plata durante el fresquismo (provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1936-1940)
Full text linkBetween 1936 and 1940, the administration of the openly philo-fascist Manuel Antonio Fresco as the governor of the province of Buenos Aires involved deep transformations in the practices and discourses that shaped the governance of Argentina's first province. Italian education in La Plata, the province’s capital, was not exempt from this process. This article explores the trajectory of the Società di Cultura Italica “Vittorio Emanuele III” in La Plata, dedicated to children and youth, during the period of ideological alignment with Fresco’s government – a period not devoid of tensions.Entre 1936 y 1940, la gestión del declarado filofascista Manuel Antonio Fresco como gobernador de la provincia de Buenos Aires implicó grandes cambios en las prácticas y discursos que guiaron la gestión de la principal provincia argentina. La educación italiana en La Plata, capital de esa provincia, no escapó a ese proceso. Este artículo aborda el devenir de la Società di Cultura Italica “Vittorio Emanuele III” de La Plata, destinada a niños, niñas y jóvenes, durante ese período de coincidencia ideológica – pero no por ello exento de tensiones – con el gobierno de Fresco
