A dádiva, a sovinice e a beleza: economia da Cultura Matis, Vale do Javari, Amazônia
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia SocialEssa tese trata sobre a economia da cultura dos Matis, um povo indígena amazônico, sua circulação de conhecimentos com o exterior e suas relações com estrangeiros de diferentes matizes. Alguns desses estrangeiros são nëix (animais); outros, tsussin (forças vitais, seres ou potências desencorporadas); outros, nawa (povos indígenas vizinhos, brasileiros ou gringos). Dentre esses últimos, relações econômicas se dão especialmente com jornalistas/ documentaristas, turistas e pesquisadores. Transações diversas são etnografadas em ritos, mitos, práticas xamânicas, filmagens, programas turísticos, comércio de objetos e em outras relações cosmopolitanas. Um ponto fundamental estudado é a afirmação dos Matis de que querem ser um povo numeroso, ser um povo grande. A economia de pessoas está entretecida com as economias da cultura. Os Matis querem desses povos estrangeiros (animais, tsussin, gringos) tecnologias (num sentido amplo) para conseguir crescer, ter corpos mais duros e fortes, serem mais e mais poderosos, mais belos. Os estrangeiros aparecem como os principais outros de quem se quer adquirir poder, tecnologias, estéticas e através de quem se pode expandir pelo cosmos. A tese trata de temas clássicos da etnologia amazônica como economia de pessoas (corpos), com foco em sovinices e circulações de conhecimentos e coisas (transações, aquisições ou roubos de mitos, cantos, poderes xamânicos, farmacopéia, pedaços de corpos, motores e outros bens). Trato de economia, portanto, em uma compreensão generosa, qualquer definição clássica etimológica de #economia# como cuidado, manejo ou organização da casa (do grego "oikos" e "nomia") será alargada aquiThis thesis is about the economy of culture of the Matis - an Amazonian indigenous people, its circulation of knowledge with the outside and its relations with different foreigners. Some of those foreigners are nëix (animals); some, tsussin (vital forces, desincorporated beings or potencies); others are nawa neighbouring indigenous peoples, Brazilians and gringos. Among these last ones, economic relations take place specially with journalists/film makers, tourists and researchers. Several transactions are ethnographed in rites, myths, shamanic practices, filming, touristic programs, objects# trading and in other cosmopolitan relations. A fundamental point of the present study is the Matis# affirmation that they want to be a numerous people, to be bigger. The economy of people is interwoven with the economy of culture. The Matis want from these foreign peoples (animals, tsussin, gringos) technologies (in a broad sense) so that they can grow, to have bodies that are harder and stronger, to be more and more powerful, more beautiful. The foreigners appear as the #special others# from whom to acquire power, technologies, aesthetics and through whom it is possible to expand throughout the cosmos. The thesis treats classic themes in Amazonian ethnology such as economy of people (bodies), with focus in the stinginess and the circulation of knowledge and things (transactions, acquisitions or robberies of myths, songs, shamanic powers, pharmacopoeia, body parts, engines and other stuff). So, I treat economy in a generous comprehension, any classic etymologic definition of #economy# as care, management or organization of the house (from the greek "oikos" and "nomia") will be broaden her
Nordic Centre of Excellence Network in Fishmeal and Fish oil
No full textThe main objective of this work was to summarise current knowledge on fishmeal and fish oil as well as identify the research needs and create a roadmap for future industry-driven research. The main conclusion was that the quality of raw material, fishmeal and - oil are not yet well defined. The real focus by the industry has mainly been limited to nutrients, such as proteins and fats and other components that makeup fishmeal. There has been less focus on the health benefits of dietary contents of fishmeal and –oil and the relationship between processing methods and the nutritional and technical properties of fishmeal. In addition, to proactively strengthen the market position and competitiveness, it is crucial for the industry to achieve a common understanding of the needs of their customers in line with a clear profile of the benefits of their products. A communication strategy as well as a research strategy is needed.Finally, the identity of the industry needs to be clear and transparent to promote a story about the industry to provide a clear and positive image of the industry to be communicated to the society. This means, that a communication strategy as well as a research strategy must be established, as there is a lack of communication along the value chain from the industry to the consumers. There is still a lack of understanding by the consumers of why fishmeal is produced, the reasons must be communicated in such a way that it reaches the average consumer.The industry members are interested in moving forward to sustain the future growth of the industry. Fishmeal and fish oil production has been prosperous for a very long time, but t
MATIS ANIMAL FEASTS: MINIMAL MIMESIS FOR SOCIAL RELATIONS WEAVING
No full textIn this paper, I describe how the Matis animal feasts are important events for the Matis to try establishing relationships with strangers, especially with the animalumans, animals that are humans. These rituals are an important cosmo-socio-logical investment for the Matis as they are a constituent part of the Matis economy of culture. I also comment on the matis’ morphological scientific observation, with its emphasis on the plant’s body parts named after animal’s organs. I intend to show how the predominant aesthetic in these animal parties is minimalist and mimetically subtle, especially when it concerns the animal clothes, masks and patterns the Matis produce and reproduce when en-acting animals and weaving their clothes (bracelets and anklets). I reflect on the sort of mimesis they produce as a valuable way of weavestablishing relations with the foreigners (be they animals, disembodied beings or other foreigners). Key words: Matis; Javari; human-animal relations; performance; ritual; jaguar

Dinâmica de espécies na agricultura indígena do Vale do Javari - AM: o caso dos Matis e Marubo
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Agrárias. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Agroecossistemas.A visão depreciativa em relação à população rural aprofundou o descaso com muitos sistemas de conhecimento nativo, cujo conteúdo era expresso de forma discursiva e simbólica. Poucos trabalhos foram realizados e ainda pouco se conhece sobre os sistemas tradicionais de produção. Os estudos realizados têm demonstrado a diversidade e complexidade dos padrões de cultivo, dos sistemas de manejo e conservação de solos, usos da água, reciclagem de nutrientes, controle da sucessão e proteção das culturas, além da incorporação de grande número de cultivares, importantes para o desenvolvimento de programas de melhoramento genético. A agricultura itinerante constitui a forma tradicional de uso da terra mais praticada na América Latina. Alternando-se períodos de cultivo e regeneração da floresta, é possível manejar a fertilidade do solo e controlar pragas e doenças, estabelecendo policultivos e sistemas agroflorestais com alto grau de sustentabilidade. Nos sistemas tradicionais indígenas da Amazônia, os produtos de maior importância são o milho, a mandioca e a banana, representando as fontes básicas de carboidratos. Com a conquista européia da Amazônia, os cacicados indígenas estabelecidos na várzea e que mantinham forte o cultivo de milho, foram destruídos e os grupos indígenas restantes tiveram que retornar ao cultivo de mandioca, que se mantém como alimento principal para a maior parte das populações nativas até os dias atuais. Em diversos grupos indígenas, no entanto, a banana vem se tornando o cultivo mais importante. É o que vem acontecendo com os índios Matis e Marubo, grupos Pano do Vale do Javari, no Amazonas. Esses grupos praticam uma agricultura de derrubada e queima, conformando sistemas agroflorestais. Constitui o objetivo deste trabalho estudar as razões e conseqüências da substituição de espécies no repertório dos cultivos Matis e Marubo, no contexto atual, cujo fato mais marcante está nas substituições da mandioca e milho pela banana. Utilizando-se metodologias qualitativas em um longo período de convívio com os grupos pesquisados, estudou-se os seus sistemas agrícolas e as mudanças ocorridas, onde a substituição de espécies foi o fator mais relevante. Resultados do trabalho indicaram que a introdução e a adaptação da banana contribuiu para a melhoria do agroecossistema e permitiu aos indígenas se adaptarem melhor à nova realidade pós-contato com a sociedade nacional, além dos ganhos na dieta e no rendimento do trabalho na roça. O conhecimento indígena sobre o seu agroecossistema pode ser visto como um processo co-evolutivo, na medida em que sociedade e sistema agrícola evoluem, mantendo-se as características básicas de interação ecológica
Curare Alkaloids: Constituents of a Matis Dart Poison
No full textA phytochemical study of dart and
arrow poison from the Matis tribe led to the identification of d-(−)-quinic acid, l-malic acid, ethyldimethylamine,
magnoflorine, and five new bisbenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids
(BBIQAs), <b>1</b>–<b>5</b>. <i>d</i>-Tubocurarine could not be identified among these products. BBIQA
(<b>3</b>) contains a unique linkage at C-8 and C-11′.
All structures were characterized by a combination of NMR and HRESIMS
data. The effects of Matis poison and individual BBIQAs (<b>1</b>–<b>3</b>) on rat muscle nAChR expressed in <i>Xenopus</i> oocytes have been investigated using the two-electrode

Matis y Korubo, contacto y pueblos aislados: narrativas nativas y etnografía en la Amazonia brasilera
No full text Este artículo es acerca de aislamiento, contacto y relaciones entre los pueblos Matis y Korubo, de la familia lingüística Pano, que viven en la Terra Indígena Vale do Javari, en el estado del Amazonas, en Brasil. Los Matis fueron contactados por el gobierno brasilero en 1976 y trabajaron en el 'frente de atracción' de los Korubo en 1996. Los Matis son, desde entonces, los principales traductores e intermediarios entre ellos y los demás indígenas y no-indígenas. Basada en mi investigación, en este artículo busco clasificar el aislamiento de algunas maneras diferentes, y presento narrativas matis de su contacto con los blancos y con sus vecinos Korubo con el objetivo de intentar acercarnos a una concepción nativa sobre que significa –si es que significa algo– aislamiento y pueblos aislados. This article is about isolation, contact, and relations between two Amazonian indigenous peoples: the Matis and the Korubo. Both groups, of the Panoan linguistic family, live in the Vale do Javari Indigenous Land, in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The Matis were contacted by the Funai (the Brazilian agency for indigenous affairs) in 1976, and they worked as intermediaries helping the Brazilian government to make contact with the Korubo in 1996. Since then, the Matis have been the main translators and mediators between the Korubo and the rest of the world (indigenous and non-indigenous). Based on my investigation, I propose to classify “isolation” in different ways and to relate the Matis’ own narratives about their contact with their neighbors the Korubo in order to approximate a native conception of what “isolation” and “isolated peoples” mean—if they mean anything at all

Gradual Transition to Dynamic Play in the Attacking Phase
No full textV diplomskem delu sem poskušal zajeti celoten koncept, kako postopoma razviti dinamično igro v fazi napada. Želel sem ugotoviti kateri faktorji vplivajo na dinamiko. Poleg tega sem želel ugotoviti, če obstajajo razlike v dinamični igri med ekipami iz najboljši nogometnih lig. Moj namen je bil narediti analizo iz pridobljenih statističnih podatkov v sezoni 2019/20, in sicer v prvi angleški, italijanski, nemški in španski ligi. V nadaljevanju sem opisal kako postopoma razvijamo dinamično tehniko in katere vaje so najbolj primerne. Nato sem navedel opis taktičnih elementov, ki so v fazi napada pomembni. Fazo napada sem opisal postopoma, sprva sem opisal prehod iz obrambe v napad in vse skupaj zaključil z zaključkom napada.In my Bachelor’s degree, I tried to capture the whole concept of how to gradually develop a dynamic game in the attacking phase. I wanted to find out which factors affect the dynamics. In addition, I wanted to find out if there are differences in the dynamic game between teams from the best football leagues. I made an analysis from the statistics obtained in the 2019/20 season for the first English, Italian, German, and Spanish leagues. Furthermore, I described how we gradually developed a dynamic technique and which exercises are most appropriate for development of that technique. Then I described how to gradually develop dynamic technique and which exercises are important in developing the phase of attack. Moreover, I enumerated and described tactical elements that are important in mentioned phase of the game. I gradually outlined the attack phasefirstly, I outlined the transition from defense to offence and finished with the endgame
